Here is a little bit about me and what has led me to this point. When I was a little girl, I remember sitting in my room reading books about ministries going on in other parts of the world. I was shocked to find that there are places in the world where people have never heard the name of Jesus. I also learned that there are women and orphans that have no idea how valuable they are because culture or other religions simply do not believe in the value of their existence. So, as a young girl, I decided that I was willing to go wherever God led me to share His truth. After traveling around the world with Youth With A Mission in 05’ and 06’, I encountered firsthand the needs of the people that had been on my heart since I was little. They needed to be loved and care for in a tangible way, whether that was to receive clean water or have a place to live. Over the years my walk with God has taken me through some extremely trying times. But, it has also brought me to a deeper place of healing and joy than I ever thought possible. As my walk with God has deepened, my passion to share the love of God has also grown. I live to see His transforming love that never disappoints, is always constant, and always faithful.
So, what am I about to do? I'm about to follow the vision God has given me to see Him become best friends with the friendless. I'm about to meet with the lonely and the broken, and given them a hand to hold. I'm about to watch as God heals the broken hearts of women who have been rescued from sex trafficking. I'm about to hold orphans and tell them that they are not forgotten, and that they are treasures of heaven. I'm about to watch God do what He always does….heal and restore.
I am truly honored to have this opportunity to represent Christ in our world. I can’t wait to share with you testimony after testimony of His goodness and kindness. He is going to move in mighty ways that are going to blow our minds and make us fall more in love with Him!
I would love for you to be a part of this awesome journey and there are some really great ways you can be involved. First, I would love it if you would keep me in your prayers. What I am doing requires much faith and strength and I believe that God will supply all that I need. Your prayers are so valuable!
Secondly, if you are interested in supporting me financially, I would be so grateful. I am planning to raise a total of $15,500 by December of 2013 (which will be my 6th month in the field). My first financial deadline is $3,500 by 5/5/2013. This money will cover all my needs while overseas including travel, living arrangements, and meals. Through the generosity of my supporters and raising funds, I have every confidence that God will provide every last penny! Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:20 says, “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His great power that is at work within us.” Therefore, I am so excited to share with you in the upcoming months the miracle of God’s provision!

From now until July, I will be busy gearing up for this adventure of a lifetime! Thank you so much for reading! More to come…
Isaiah 61:1 (NASB)
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
Because the Lord has anointed me
To bring good news to the afflicted;
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And freedom to prisoners”
