God has, by His grace provided all the finances I needed to continue this fall. I am so thankful for all of the love and support that you have shown me. I am continuing to raise support for this upcoming year, knowing that He will continue to provide. 
Check back soon for a new bible study!
With Love,

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding.

Hello friends.
On August 22 I was informed that I need to raise 1,000 dollars in one week in order to continue as an ELN intern this fall. The finances I were relying on did not come in, and I had agreed to have this money at the end of the summer. The fact that I even have a week to raise this money is a blessing of grace.  I know that whether or not the money comes in, I am exactly where I need to be. I know that God is good, and that His plans are sometimes not our own. But I would really like to continue on as an ELN this fall, as I know God has a good work for me. If you are reading this and can support in anyway, even in exchange for work, please visit the help page located above and let me know via email. 1,000 dollars is 50 dollars from twenty people. Twenty dollars from 50 people. Surely this is possible.
With Love,
-Jasmine

Homeward bound.



        Many of you know that I spent this last summer working at a Foursquare church in Seattle, WA. The past ten weeks have been a beautiful compilation of growth, transformation, excitement, love, trials, tiredness and a lot of good coffee. I have learned so much about who God is and what He is doing to transform not only my heart, but the heart of His Church. It has been absolutely awe-inspiring to watch God move with His divine creativity, through such a dynamic and diverse city.
        I return with a new-found passion for God's truth and a ridiculous conviction to live out Christ's true, mad love. I now know just how deep my love for the world runs. I also know that my love for this world is but a small portion of God's powerful, infinite love. Might I remind you that God, the creator of the universe loved the world so much that He sent His perfect son to live and die that we may live and never die. How often do we forget this mad love?
      Coming back from Seattle, I have a  very strong desire to be around the broken people of this world and this city. I want to know them, I want to love them. I want to love them like a crazy person. And the thing is, we are all broken. We are all in need of a savior's grace, we are all in need of this mad love. Why does the church allow her love to be so limited? Why are we afraid to love? This cannot do.
      I pray that this next year be filled with opportunities for me to exercise this new-found passion, as I know it will be. I pray that God show me how to walk boldly in His love, all while teaching me how to humbly enable other's to do the same. I look forward to this upcoming season with a confident anticipation, knowing that it will be a beautiful, challenging, impacting year.
 Thank you Eastside and Faith Center. My home, and my home away from home.
