Hillsong College

Hello everybody! My name is Angel Maldonado Jr., and I am in need of your help! God has put an enormous mission on my heart to exit my comfort zone entirely and move into his comfort of the unknown but the steady truth of his strength and guidance. In this mission, I will be pursuing full time ministry as a Pastor at Hillsong Leadership College in Sydney, Australia! Although this is a huge leap of faith, I am both excited and proud to announce my calling and tell my story.
As a student-athlete at Salisbury University, in Salisbury, Maryland, I faced a lot of obstacles which, at the time, I had no idea would benefit my growth in the way it did. After a career ending injury while at Salisbury, I knew that God had a purpose for my process. I had faith in what he would bring out of my pain and discomfort judging by his grace in my life in times when I didn't even know him. Thankfully, I have been so fortunate to meet so many amazing, faith-filled vessels along my journey at Salisbury that have helped me along my walk with God and in times of doubt, lack of faith, and deep frustration. In my time as a Fellowship of Christian Athletes leader and president at Salisbury, as well as the youth pastor at Emmanuel Wesleyan: Fruitland Campus; I have had the opportunity to meet, walk with, and grow with so many amazing people; a lot of which will go on to become impactful leaders and some who already are powerful vessels of the kingdom. Their support, along with my family, and friends back home in Silver Spring, MD has pushed me past my limits to accept this call and hopefully bring more love to this world as a vessel of the one who loves best. But before I leave for Australia I am taking part of my journey to Hillsong Orange County, California where I will be serving along side so many incredible people in a new environment and a place where I hope to call my temporary home.
In my search for financial support I hope to not only raise money, but to add more and more people to my team. I am looking for people to become more than just donors, but to walk this journey out with me and be lifted up as something more than face value. I hope to impact people with the intent to glorify God's kingdom in all things I do and the people I do it with. The money raised will be put towards my tuition at Hillsong College, including overseas health care and other living expenses in Australia.
If anything, I am more thankful for the process which has led me to this decision and this calling. As a high schooler, when I first accepted Jesus, I never saw myself as someone who would one day be seen as someone who could bring people to know Jesus; a broken, imperfect, and stubborn person like me. God had a plan for my purpose all along, and I am so excited to take this next massive step towards fulfilling that purpose to the best of my abilities. I appreciate any support more than I can express in words, prayer and love is needed more than anything, and for those that go above just that I hope that you will see it as something to help me reach more than what I ever could have imagined for myself. More than anything, though, this is not about me; this is about what God wants to do in my life and to reach others around me.
Thank You!
Love deeper, always.
