George Della Piazza

We’re thrilled to announce that George Della Piazza has successfully reached his fundraising goal!

It’s been a great season of learning and trusting God for George. When asked what he learned along the way, George was quick to share this: “Nothing made me understand the synthesis between God’s provision and man’s faithful labor quite like support raising. I learned that the fruit of labor was often not what I desired in the moment. However, from the resounding yes, to the disappointing no, to the fervent prayer of a brother in Christ, God proved himself to be, above all else, in control.”

While his wife Becky cheered him on, George was helped by his mentor, DM staff and Susquehanna Valley teammate Mike Chartowich. When asked, Mike offered these thoughts: “I am thrilled to have George serve with our team full-time. He has many gifts and strengths that complement our team. He has a heart for people, which will reap much fruit as he disciples men on campus!”

As George now lands full-time on campus, his team leader, DM staff Zack Gugenheim, who is proud of him and eager to work alongside him on campus, adding this: “George showed true faith as he persevered in support raising, and we are super excited to see how the Lord uses that same faith as he disciples young men to follow Jesus and lead others to Him.”

Well done in support raising, George! We look forward to hearing of the fruit of your labors on campus!

Connecting the season of support raising to the adventure ahead, Chris had some good insights to share. He said this: "It has been truly breathtaking to reflect on God's faithful provision, His perfect timing, and His persistent deliverance through my every trial as I consider His steadfast sovereignty over my support raising journey.

Connor and Gabby McChesney

We are delighted to announce that Connor and Gabby McChesney have successfully reached their fundraising goal in preparation for all the outreach opportunities of the summer and the fall!

Now freshly married, Connor and Gabby were delighted to begin their fundraising as two, and end it as one. Reflecting on the season, they said: “We are astounded at all of the ways we have seen God work over the last year! God is so faithful and, by His grace, He has abundantly provided for all of our needs! It has been such a joy to grow in reliance on Him through this season. We are so grateful to hit the ground running at Penn State and proclaim to students that the same God who provided for us has provided salvation for all who would call on his son, Jesus Christ!”

Both also considered the mentorship he received during support raising as invaluable. Connor mentor, DM staff Micah Natal, added this: “What began as a daunting task has become one of the most transformative parts of Connor’s walk with Christ. Through every conversation, every unexpected gift, and every moment of waiting, God has been teaching Connor to trust Him more deeply, depend on His provision, and love His people in new ways.”

Gabby's mentor, DM staff Jensica Isiminger at PSU, piled on even more praise, remarking: “Throughout her season of support raising, I was consistently encouraged by Gabby’s steps of faith. As she honored God, He richly strengthened her faith and blessed her support raising! I can’t wait to work with her at Penn State!”

Their new team leader, Matt Geiger, has eagerly welcomed them, eager to continue what God began not long ago. He had this to say: “Two summers ago, I oversaw Connor & Gabby as interns. Now, God has joined them in marriage, brought them through support raising, and is placing them on campus to share the good news of Jesus that has so radically changed them. God’s timing is perfect, as they are ministering alongside interns this summer and joining the work on Penn State’s campus this fall!”

Praise the Lord for His good work, and pray for the McChesneys as they begin their new ministry assignment!

Tyler and Maddy Pick

We’re happy to announce Tyler Pick has successfully reached his fundraising goal just in time to help finish the school year strong!

Tyler did an exceptional job and was helped in large part by his wife, Maddy. He had this to say as he reflected on his journey: “The Lord used this season of support raising to develop within me a dependence and devotion to His divine design. There was no short supply of reasons to contemplate God’s grace and provision through the ways He supplied timely encouragement and support from a bountiful community. As Maddy and I transition to campus, we are eager to proclaim God’s provision through Christ and trust in His power to cause students to be repurposed by the Gospel of grace!”

Tyler also considered the mentorship he received during support raising as invaluable. His mentor, DM staff Colby Benedict, shared this as he reflected on the season: "When I think of Tyler and his support raising, the thing that comes to mind was his love for and devotion to the Lord. Despite the ups and downs that come with raising support, Tyler was quick to turn to the Lord for refuge and grace. I was challenged by his eagerness to study God’s word and seek his will through prayer rather than resting in his own wisdom and understanding.”

Tyler and Maddy are now eagerly pursuing the fresh joys and challenges of serving on campus, and have been well-received by their new team. Their team leader, DM staff Kevin Noyes, shared this: “The Picks’ arrival is an answer to prayer and a huge blessing for the Mason-Dixon Team.
