Story
-- Welcome to my fundraising page! I am Justin Levin and God has blessed me with the opportunity to go on 2 mission trips Summer 2026 (Philippines and South Asia).
The Philippines service trip will be a 3-week trip form May 12-June 2. The first two weeks of the trip our team will be on the outskirts of Manila (Capital of the Philippines) sharing the gospel while supporting the community through construction, providing basic community needs, sports ministry, helping in a pregnancy clinic, and teaching English in schools. We will be partnering with Kids International Ministries (URL Below). They work to break the cycle of poverty in local communities, and we will be joining them in this mission while we are there. The third week of the trip we will be flying to Boracay, which is an island that is more southern in the Philippines. There we will be partnering with First International Ministries (URL Below) on mission to provide care and support the needs of the most vulnerable in the community (children in poverty, widows, elderly). We will be providing basic needs for the community as well as serving in schools sharing the Gospel and the hope of Jesus Christ. Please keep Kids International Ministries, First Love International, and our team that will be joining them in their missions in May.

The South Asia service trip will be a 4-week trip from July 1- July 29. I cannot say here where we are going for reasons above me. We will be partnering with underground churches, coming alongside them in reaching the younger generation. We will be reaching kids from VBS age to University age, building relationships with them, and sharing the Gospel. Our prayer is that we will plant seeds for Christ that will grow and spread to family members and to the whole community. Please also keep the churches that we are partnering with in your prayers as well as our team that we are taking there in July.
Total Goal: $6,800 (Philippines - $2,800 South Asia - $4,000)
Thank you for your support!
Why me?
Over summer 2025 I was reading through Acts, praying to God for clarity in my life and for opportunities to serve him boldly. Everything around me seemed cloudy and I just wanted to serve God in this time.
Senior year of my college career at Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) started in August. I am so grateful to go to a school that is centered on developing my generation to serve Christ. They have a missions department called CM Global that sends out 15-20 mission trips a year.
I have never been on a mission trip before outside of the country and I have never really traveled in my life. In my mind I was not equipped with the qualifications to go on a mission trip, definitely not lead one, but God had greater plans. One day, my good friend put the Co-Leader opportunity on my radar. Initially, I was interested because this was the opportunity that I had been praying for all summer, but I was hesitant because of the question marks involved. Will I even get it? How will I come up with the money? Will I be able to get a job when I come back? These are real questions that need to be answered. God ended up breaking my heart for those that do not know him and all those questions went out the window. Then I applied, interviewed and got the opportunity to Co-Lead!
I did not realize it at the time, but God has equipped me with everything I need to share the Gospel boldly, serve, and impact lives all for his glory. I just needed to take that first leap of faith and then I could see clearly what God has been doing in my life to prepare me for this summer.
