"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..." Mt. 28:19

Hi everyone!

This blog is to help keep everyone updated about my life here in Germany! As most of you know, I am living in southern Germany, serving as a Resident Assistant at an international high school called Black Forest Academy for missionary kids for 2 years! I currently live in Wittlingen Dorm with about 20 high school girls, encouraging, mentoring, and discipling them in the Lord. Since my senior year in high school, I have felt that God has called me to minister to high schoolers and am so excited that I am living that out. I absolutely love what I do! Love my girls and love what God is doing here!

Raising Support


Essentially, I will be a missionary to missionary kids.  Nevertheless, being a missionary, I have to raise a monthly support of $1,657.  Everyone at the school, from teachers to counselors, are all technically missionaries and thus must all raise their own support to go.  Being self-funded likewise keeps the cost of tuition down for missionary families to send their teenagers to the school.

To be honest, at the beginning, I was really nervous about raising money to go, but the Lord has been so faithful and has completely blown my mind.  So many of you have sent in so much to support me in going.  I am so amazed and so thankful!  Thank you so much for all your prayers and financial support!  I am almost at the monthly goal, but still need just a bit more.  I currently have 66% raised for 2 years—which is $1,081/month of $1,657/month; only $576/month to go!  If you feel led to help, here are 3 ways you can give:

How to donate monthly or a special gift:
1) Mail: Send a check or money order payable to TeachBeyond with a separate sheet of paper with my name (Jessica Poulsen) to:

2) Direct Debit (EFT—Electronic Funds Transfer)
Funds are transferred directly from your checking or savings account to
TeachBeyond. The donor (you) sends bank information and a voided check to the U.S.
office (see address above). Note that there are only two withdrawal dates each
month, the 1st or the 15th. Donors must indicate which they prefer.
3) Web: Online and credit card donations can be made through the services of PayPal.  Visit www.teachbeyond.org and click ‘Donate.’
