My Advice To A Future Goer
It all began with a simple meeting over coffee. I never thought much about it and honestly doubted that the Lord would send me. But it was when I simply put my yes forward, that God could direct me to where I am now. For the past two years, I have lived in Bucharest, Romania. I have been working with international college students. My students come from all over the world. Many of them are from countries that I never knew about before.

Sometimes they’re your favorite, and other times, you’re holding on for… Read more >>
Do The Scary Thing
When God calls us to follow Him it is not with the promise of a comfortable and easy life. It is the opposite. He promises that it will be difficult and scary. Sometimes, it is scary where He is calling you, but it is so rewarding when you walk into what He is calling you to do. One of my intimidating encounters on the field has been the metro.
