About
Growing up in the church, my parents both loved the Lord and did their best to show me His love as well. They explained the gospel very clearly and I accepted Christ at the age of 6. I understood that Jesus loved me enough to die for my sins and take my punishment on Himself. But there was no evident heart or life change.
In high school I struggled with my identity, which resulted in very deep depression during this time, because I had no purpose. I was searching for answers only found in God.
During my senior year I was encouraged to tour Word of Life Bible Institute. I was able to see groups of young people who loved the Lord, and were filled with such abundance of life. I craved the same joy and security they had. I rededicated my life to the Lord, and since then my life has renewed joy and purpose. I no longer struggle with the same deep depression because now I put my trust in Jesus Christ. He was the peace and identity I had been chasing for so long. I understand now that He is the only one who can fulfill my needs.
From there I attended Word of Life- committing two years to dive deep into God's word, and growing in my awe and understanding of Him. I knew I loved people and wanted to serve the Lord- and in my two years was able to see ministry in such beautiful and practical ways. I was able to serve on various missions trips over the past years, and through those experiences the Lord confirmed my steps for serving in Poland for the next two years! I want to share the fullness of life that can only be found in Jesus Christ. The same hope and newness that was offered to me, is available to all those who call on His name!
