International School







Dear Friends and Family,

I have been invited to visit an International school in central Asia where English speaking students are offered a quality education but do not have access to services that would allow their parents to understand their learning style or any potential learning disabilities. The last time an educational psychologist was able to visit the school was over three years ago. I have worked in education for many years as a school psychologist and special education administrator and have been invited to conduct psycho-educational assessments to those students that are having learning difficulties. I will be leaving around the end of March for about two weeks.
The Purpose:
The children that attend the International School are mostly children of English speaking parents largely from the United States. For some of these families the only psycho-educational services they would be able to receive is here in the United States where it would be offer free of charge by their local school district. Therefore, I have decided to take these services to them. It is my hope that no worker or church planter would need to leave their current assignment due to this type of assessment need, yet some do.

Prayer Support:
I would like to invite you to partner with me on this ministry trip as a prayer supporter which is my most important desire. I need people to pray for me as I prepare for this trip, while I am there, and after I return home. Please know that your prayer support would be the most valuable gift to me.

Going to central Asia is not an easy task. Just getting a visa can be a monumental task that requires an invitation and purchased airline tickets. These tasks require detail, lots of preparation, and of course a good bit of money. Therefore, I am asking you to consider being a part of my prayer team which means that I will be posting updates on this blog site. Updates on this blog can be followed simply by using the link at the bottom of the page which allows you to subscribe and be notified of updates.

Financial Support:
I am also praying that some of you will be able to support me financially. The cost of this trip is around $2,000, and I would truly appreciate any size gift. In whatever way you are able to participate in sending me to serve in central Asia. For those contributing financially, please pray and ask God for the amount that He desires. Donations are tax deductible. When sending a gift, please do not write my name on a check, simply enclose my name on a separate piece of paper with the gift, and send to:
The Grove Community Church
c/o Outreach - Brad Trottman

Riverside, CA 92508

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions about this trek. May God bless you to be a blessing to others.

For His Glory,
