Clay Burden - InBounds Ministries Ambassador to the Dominican Republic

Clay is preparing to leave for his GAP year in the Dominican Republic! (Flight is August 27)
He will be in a missions-immersion program while also extensively studying Spanish and Bible...
We at InBounds are so excited as he is our first recipient of the Ambassador Scholarship...
I am excited as my oldest child is busy about the Lord's work...

Clay with his dear friend Sarah
at a recent outreach in St Louis
Please be in regular prayer for him in his outreach and his studies... Pray for God to be molding him into the man he wants to be... Pray for his finances to not be a concern... Pray for direction for when he returns home (since he will not be here visiting colleges)... Pray for full healing of his knee that has been such a thorn in the flesh... Pray for his momma (and daddy) who will have their oldest living overseas...

How you can help beyond your prayers...

Although most of his GAP costs have been raised (praise the Lord), there is still some of that bill to get covered...
There is still one round-trip ticket that will need to be purchased for second semester....
Plus we are trying to keep his monthly support at simply $5 per day (his main meals are covered in GAP costs)...

Therefore we are still raising finances (around $2500 more)... which can be sent through InBounds Ministries via the donate tab on this blog or via hard mail to 452 Patterson St Troutman, NC 28166 - just earmark it for Clay... (If you intend to give toward these needs please let me know; that allows me to plan our fundraising efforts more effectively.)

Some have also expressed a desire to send care packages to Clay. I know he will greatly appreciate that... yet the mail in the DR is not dependable. Therefore if you plan to send a care package please contact me for instructions and I will set you up to mail it to the SCORE Int'l offices and they will have a team deliver it for you... therefore letters are better via internet.

Clay, it's time to Go MAD young fella! (Go Make A Difference!)
