Our Story

I was raised in a Christian home where I learned about God from an early age, but like many, I spent years searching for something deeper. Even as a child, I felt a tug on my heart—a calling to the Nations. That call became real at the age of 16 when I first stepped onto the mission field in South Africa for three life-changing months. Shortly after, I found myself in Tanzania and Kenya, where the heartbeat of God for His people became undeniable. I knew then that I was being invited into something greater.

Following that call, I attended Christ for the Nations in Dallas, Texas, where my journey took a beautiful and unexpected turn. I was chosen to serve on a pioneering team to Iloilo, Philippines with YFNI. What began as a short-term mission became a life-defining move. I ended up living in the Philippines for a year, building relationships and walking out the call God had planted in me as a child.

Returning to the U.S., I entered into a new season—marriage and motherhood. I was blessed with a beautiful daughter, but the years that followed were marked by trauma, addiction, and ultimately, divorce. It was a season that broke me—but also one that brought me to the feet of Jesus. My story is one of redemption, not because of anything I’ve done, but because of who He is. Jesus met me in the rubble and rebuilt my life on His foundation.

Now, after years of healing, restoration, and surrender, God has reignited the calling He placed on my life so long ago. My daughter and I are stepping out in obedience as we begin a new chapter with YWAM Kona, entering into discipleship training before launching back out into the Nations.

This is not just my story—this is His story through me. A testimony of grace, redemption, and the unrelenting love of a Father who never lets go. All glory to God.
