I have very exciting news: You all helped raise over $4,000 to complete my fundraising for the year!! I was not expecting this overwhelming response. Thank you to all of you who have given generous gifts and kept me in your prayers! More thank-you notes will be mailed this week, so check your mailbox soon.
I leave on the 16th to fly to New Orleans, spend a few days with the other New Orleans Young Adult Volunteers before we all fly into Newark. From Newark, we are headed to Stony Point, NY for the week-long orientation for all of the YAV's. And finally, on the 26th we fly back to New Orleans for our year of service to begin!
I am thrilled and a little anxious about this year. I've never spent so much time away from home and my friends, so I am anticipating that some days will be challenging. Still, I am very privileged to be able to serve with some amazing people in an incredible city. I am ready to learn more about discipleship, servanthood, compassion, and trust in God over the coming year.
I am asking for your prayers throughout the year for my ministry and the ministries of my fellow YAV's. If you are interested in becoming a prayer partner for me and are able to commit to praying for me once a month, please email me at hannahmills7@hotmail.com.
Again, I thank you for reading this blog, taking a moment out of your day to think or pray about my ministry and how God will be working through me and the people I am serving this year. Thanks again for all of your generous contributions to make this year happen! You rock!
In gratitude,
Hannah

Introducing...
My name is Hannah Mills, and starting in August 2013, I will be serving the city of New Orleans on behalf of the Presbyterian Church (USA) as part of the Young Adult Volunteer program.
I am serving as a YAV because I want to spend this year preparing myself for a life of service. As a disciple of Christ, I am called to serve and love my neighbors. I cannot separate my discipleship from works of faith. I also have a strong sense of calling to ministry through the discernment of my Christian community.
I plan to attend seminary after I complete YAV with hopes of one day becoming ordained in the PC(USA) as an associate teaching elder and youth minister. I am anticipating that my YAV year will challenge me as a disciple, calling me to trust God more and start developing the heart of a servant out of love.
I am eager to document my experience and share with you how God is working in my life and in the lives of those with whom I am living and serving.
I ask for your prayers because I cannot dream of serving this year without a strong community supporting me.
If you are interested in supporting me financially, please message me, and I can show you how.
Thank you so much for joining me on this exciting new journey!
In gratitude,
Hannah
