Ivan Penrose: November Fundraising Update

Hello!

Thank you so much for your encouragement and prayers as I continue working towards this journey and ministry in Southern California! Whether you’ve already committed to partnering with me or are considering joining this mission, I’m deeply grateful for your support and interest in the work God is doing. I wanted to continue sharing with you about the things that I will be doing and the things your partnership and support will be investing in!

Beginning on January 6, 2025, I will be entering a discipleship apprenticeship in which I will be weekly engaged in evangelism at college campuses, teaching young Christians and non-Christians what the gospel is, as well as discipling young Christians to share their faith and engage in the public sphere with their faith through Bible dialogues and prayer walking. I will be a full-time apprentice for the duration of the ten months in order to emphasize and focus intently on what God will teach me in and through this apprenticeship for the relatively short period of time I will be in this position. For this reason, I am looking for financial partners who can support my living and ministry expenses while I participate and mature in this ministry. I’m also looking for prayer partners who can commit to supporting me through their prayers as I work to pursue God’s will in this time.

I am blessed to be welcomed into this ministry and apprenticeship, and I’m eager to step into the ministries God is preparing ahead of me! Thank you for your encouragement and prayers as I prepare for this, and may God bless you in the good works established for you as well!

With love and peace,

Ivan Penrose

You can support me through prayer and financial giving. I need and appreciate both so that I can reach 100% in both areas before starting my apprenticeship. My goal is to have 250 prayer partners. If you know anyone who would like to pray for my apprenticeship, please forward this form to them.

I am currently looking for financial supporters to support me through October 2025. Would you please prayerfully consider supporting me as I begin my apprenticeship in January 2025?
