Thank you for your interest in joining me on my journey as a full-time missionary!

Over the last 13 years since my parish has had Life Teen, and more recently in the past 3 years since I have served as a summer missionary for Life Teen, the Lord has been shaping and preparing my heart for this time to give back to the Church for the ways she has blessed me. 

This fall I will be living and serving for the year alongside 11 other young adult men and women at Camp Covecrest in Tiger, GA. Our ministry for the next year will include personal formation, running the youth groups of two local parishes, hosting and helping with weekend retreats, being sent out to Life Teen national events, visiting parishes, one foreign mission trip to Haiti, community outreach around the city of Tiger, and the planning and running of summer camp for thousands of teenagers.

One of the best parts of this mission is the privilege of inviting others to join us on mission. First and foremost, the most important way that you can support me is through prayer. This can take many forms, such as daily mass, a rosary, a Holy Hour, or even simple intentional prayer.  I would also ask you to prayerfully consider supporting me financially.  Your donations will help support our work projects, foreign mission trip, and living expenses for the year.  My goal is to gather 50 mission partners supporting me  at only $10 a month.  I have found, by talking to past missionaries, that through this way, I will be more easily able to stay connected with you throughout the year.

More than simply asking for money or prayers, I am asking you to join me as a part of God’s mission and plan for me. While not everyone has the ability to give up two years of their life, I have been blessed in this way, and I would love to share with you what the Lord is doing in my life over these next two years.  As a mission partner, I will be sending you monthly newsletters updating you on my mission, as well as writing blogs regularly on www.lifeteen.com/missions.  If you have any questions about Life Teen Missions or want to know more of what I’ll be doing as a missionary, please e-mail me at ackman000@hotmail.com.

Thank you for considering to help support my Mission year by making a donation. The process is fast, easy, and secure. I truly appreciate any support you can provide. It will benefit a great cause! I cannot wait to see the many blessings that God will reveal through the “Yes” we give to Him.
