I have just finished the classroom portion of Kairos Discipleship School. I have been incredibly blessed during these 20 weeks of inspiring and challenging speakers. I have learned about topics like: surrender to God, freedom from sin, maximizing personality strengths, guidance from the Holy Spirit, the father heart of God, spiritual gifts, forgiveness, public speaking, world missions, evangelism, world views, and much much more.
Now that the teaching is done, we are moving on to other exciting things. Coming up I will be doing a leadership challenge/canoe trip in the Boundary Waters between Minnesota and Canada. Also coming up soon is my summer missions trip. I found out this week that I will be a discipleship-group (or “d-group” for short) leader on the trip to Italy! I will be working in a town called Lido di Ostia which is just south of Rome. We will work both in public areas like squares and coffee shops doing evangelism and also with some churches and established missions organizations. Other than the emphasis of the trip, as a d-group leader my main job is to be available to the students on the trip whatever we end up doing. I will have around 4 or 5 guys in my d-group and I will have a chance to invest in their lives and disciple them. I will have the same amount of contact with these young men in 6 weeks that a youth pastor would have in 2 years!
Also, I have some additional financial needs in a couple of areas as the year goes on:
1) Expenses for the Italy trip including fees and required spending money: $470. You can give online here. Find my name in the drop-down menu and follow the instructions.
2) Personal expenses like rain gear, thermal gear, sleeping bag, camping pad, and transportation and living expenses : $400. You can mail a check (made out to Jason Radcliffe) to:

I thank you in advance for your faithfulness in giving financially and supporting me with your prayers! You make it possible for me to actively pursue my destiny, gain ministry experience, and invest in the next generation of youth who are on fire for Christ!
