The professional pilgrim, that's who I am. Traveling is a big part of what defines me both because I have traveled much and because I continue to seek the experience.

I grew up cross-culturally between the United States and Argentina due to my parent's call to work overseas and I haven't been able to stay in one country since. During my college years at Baylor I did my best to learn experientially through the university's study abroad programs. I lived in Belo Horizonte, Brazil for a year; spent a semester in Istanbul, Turkey; and spent one summer in both Rwanda and China.

Today I find myself called to do my father's work. I have traveled and have seen the need. I have met the giver of all good gifts and been asked to give.

My letter to future Goers

By on Track: Compassion - Justice Region: Middle East

My dear potential and/or fellow Goer, We have never met. You have your own set of experiences, dreams and expectations and I have mine. That being said we are family. We both are living the life God has given us and doing our best to grow in relationship with Him. Part of my history with God has been working in the Middle East for a season and God could be inviting you into a 2-year overseas commitment as well. Go for it. Try it out. Enjoy the journey. Don't sweat the small things and in all things seek God.  Among the truths I have acquired from my experience abroad is the fact that God… Read more >>

Back in Texas

By on Track: Compassion - Justice Region: Middle East

The Story      As I mentioned in my last update the plan was to visit my sister and her family, take some time to process my overseas experience and be back in the U.S. sometime in September. Well, with this in mind, I boarded my initial flight and happily drifted through the following 23hrs of travel. However my drifting came to a halt at the airport of my final destination were, because of a few documentation errors and what I believe was a good deal of "stick it to the yank," I was denied a visa. *sigh* After a second night in an airport and people telling me a hundred… Read more >>

Into the West

By on Track: Compassion - Justice Region: Middle East

Dear Reader,    After a year and nine months in the Middle East I have decided to return west. It has not been an easy decision to finish early leaving friends and projects but the wear and tear of being a foreigner in a distant land, far from family and the things I know has caught up to me.   I will be leaving tomorrow, the 2nd of July, to visit my sister and her family and hope to be back in the U.S. by September. Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support throughout this journey. I could never have made it to this point without your encouragement and… Read more >>

Ramadan '17

By on Track: Compassion - Justice Region: Middle East

As I count the hours till my flight I'm sitting on my bed listening to (Music) and going over what I'd like to do before traveling. On the list is, of course, to let you know, at least briefly, what's going on these days.    At the center we've finished up another term and after a wonderful teacher recognition/end of term party put together by our dear students we are currently on break for Ramadan. During Ramadan, which I believe goes through the 25th of June this year we won't be having courses at the center and a few of the team will be traveling, including M and I. We'll be… Read more >>

The Month of April

Introspection and Perception  TL;DR If I could distill my life into five verses it would be as follows: - Matthew 6:33But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things (your needs) will be given to you as well. - 1 Corinthians 16:14Do everything in love. - Ephesians 3:16-19I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you in power through his Spirit in your inner being so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide… Read more >>
