Vision Statement:
"Providing refugees with the education and empowerment needed to transform their lives from victim to contributor."
I am an Indonesian immigrant who who has been blessed with the opportunity to have higher education from Southern Adventist University.
My family moved to the U.S. in 2006 due to religious persecutions. God has blessed us with the ability to progress and be able to live a stable life. However, I know that not everyone were presented opportunities that were given to my family. Thus, my desire is to pay forward the blessings God has given to my family and help those who are in a similar situation as we were in 2006.
I have agreed to raise $650 for Southern's Student Missions program. The funds we raise will help cover our airfare, visas, insurance training, and care packages. I am excited to serve as a student missionary. Will you help me reach my goal? Whatever you are able to give is greatly appreciate by the 2018-19 student missionaries, the people we will serve, and also myself.
