Bio of Samantha Gulland
Samantha was born in Japan on January 8, 1994. She attended Japanese schools until 7th grade. For junior high school, she attended Sano International School. Her 9th grade year was a highlight as she attended Faith Academy in the Philippines. She attended Titusville High School in Pennsylvania for 10th grade and then completed high school in Mississippi through Keystone Online School in September of 2012. All through her school years she excelled in art and music.
She took part in the worship and leadership teams where ever she has lived. Samantha has worked at the Mississippi Japanese Supplementary School as a Japanese school teacher for the past two years. She has also been working as a receptionist/secretary at Spectacles for a wonderful eye doctor. She has been on the leadership team for Fuse Box at ChristLife Highlands Church, leading a small group of young ladies, and has been a member of the worship team there. Her desire is to sing and lead worship.
Attending Hillsong has been a longstanding dream. It is our desire to see God's glory shine through Sam and it really does when she sings! We covet your prayers for her as she steps out in faith on this new adventure.
Please pray for her as she sets out on a new adventure to Hillsong in Australia. School begins January 28th, 2014. She will be heading out mid January. She will be taking the worship leading course with a vocal emphasis.
These are her needs:
- airline tickets--approximately $2400.00
- a bed--$150.00
- books--$200.00
- a laptop--$1000.00 (would be happy for a good used one)
- luggage--$140.00
- unlocked cell phone to use in AU
- second semester tuition-- $2500.00
- a good part time job while in AU to help cover monthly rent and living expenses
- ease in adjusting to a new country and school life
- God's favor and anointing over all!!!
We so much appreciate you all. We are very excited at the leading of the Lord for Samantha.
We feel that it is because of all of your prayers for us all over the years that God has work in Sam to get her to this point! She has really done well here in Mississippi and is looking forward to a really great time of training in Australia. Praise the LORD!!!
