Ministry Description

I am serving in a support raised ministry role in Word of Life Florida. The Lord has provided a ministry role where I get to use my spiritual gifts and abilities to serve Him, make disciples, and help young people to take their next steps with Jesus. My responsibilities consist of discipling students, leading topical small groups, opening up and sharing from the Word to the student body, helping oversee the residence halls, assiting with student life events and campus activities, serving in camp, performing administrative tasks, and helping foster an environment where students can grow in their walk with Christ.

About

I grew up in a Christian household and I put my faith in Jesus at a young age. I grew up going to church and youth group and doing all the Christian things but I struggled to have a consistent vibrant relationship with the Lord. After high school, I decided to pursue the things of the world and to live how I wanted to live. After about two years of this self-centered lifestyle, I recognized how empty and meaningless the things of the world are and that the "fun" I had was futile and it was all vanity like Solomon says in Ecclesiastes. It became clear that the things of the world were fleeting and they failed to satisfy and fulfill in me what only Jesus could. I knew I needed to turn back to Him. I decided to start going back to church again and turn from that life I was living and He embraced me back into His arms just like the prodigal son.

Shortly after returning to the Lord I knew that I needed to take my relationship with the Lord seriously. I really wanted to deepen my faith and that's when I applied to the Word of Life Bible Institute where I spent two years learning about my awesome Savior while also being a part of so many awesome ministry opportunities. God started placing missions on my heart during a missions conference in 2022, and I committed to going wherever He'd have me go if that was His will for me. After going on a missions trip in April 2023, God made it clear that He was calling me to Argentina. I served Him for two and a half years (2024-2026) as a missionary in Word of Life's Cross Cultural Internship,. During that time, I did teaching English ministry, I worked in the student life department in the Bible Institute, I worked with the Bilingual Bible Program, I served in camps, and I discipled young people, helping them take their next step with Jesus. Now I am back in the U.S., as the Lord has put it on my heart to return to my home country, make disciples here, and use my cross cultural experience and knowledge of Spanish to help meet ministry needs in the U.S.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” ‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭ESV‬‬
