Letter to a Future Goer
Dear Future Goer: I want to share my story as being a wildcard member of the missions community, if there are people that don’t feel like they directly fit into the missions’ field in some way, shape, or form. I’m sharing you my story of change, grace, and maturity. It’s also important for me to share that this is also a story of struggle and watching God in just how mysterious His ways are, There are many times that what God does or doesn’t do cannot be justified, and when God does bring favor in how much joy it does bring. This is the wisdom gained through how God sent me to Berlin,… Read more >>

I'm able to speak in German to the point of conveying stories after only 4 month's of training.

Having a Fulfilled Christmas
Amazing how time flies. So many things I did not fully expect when I was sitting at home one year ago. God, allow my head to be clear, and if there’s anything you would have me say in this moment, please I welcome you to such! The theme for today: fulfillment. Since I began my college career, God has been consistent in bringing me to this one lesson—one I am not surprised will follow me through ‘til the end of time. God always move most prominently in the little things. Always has. Not a month goes by where I don’t find myself returning to this single topic. Also, how that applies… Read more >>
