1. Pray
The first and most important thing that you can do, is pray! Pray for God's will through this project. Also, pray that he will give me strength, confidence and guidance. This project is very far removed from my comfort zone. I am not the type of person that finds meeting and conversing with new people easy. Through this project I will be reaching out to people, meeting with them and sitting down to talk with them to gain their story but I know that if God has called me to carry out this project He will also supply all of my needs.
Pray for those who step out in courage to share their story. It's not always easy to open up about areas of your life that you spent years shutting out.

2. share your story
This project is not possible without stories. Each book will be focusing on different people, but the first book "The Faces Of: The Misunderstood" deals with people who suffer or have suffered from mental illness in any form. Is that you? Have you struggled with a mental illness? Is there something you wish people would understand about suffering from a mental illness? Get involved and share your story.

3. Donate
Collecting stories, editing the text and publishing a book isn't free. I truly feel that God has opened my mind and my heart to this project and I believe that there are people out there who want to help through donations. Your donations will go towards the travel expenses to meet with individuals to gather their story, the price to have the book edited and also the price of publishing. If you donate using my Patreon account you'll not only be donating to an awesome project, but you will also recieve rewards. Really! Check it out! You can also donate at the bottom of this page!
