About Levi

I grew up in a Christian home and went to church every week. Between the ages of 10 to11 years, I began to question what it meant to be a Christian and where I stood with God. By age 11, I had accepted Christ as my personal Savior from my sins and put my faith in Him. I continued my life within the church, participating in various short term missions trips with Teenserve and my Church. A couple of these trips were to WOL Recife, Brazil.

In 2019 I began to heavily question my original plans for my life. And God began pushing me towards the idea of full time missions. With that in mind, I decided I needed a stronger biblical base to make such a big decision. At that point I sought to study one year with Word of Life Bible Institute. Later I was invited to the Institute in Recife since I had already been there. During my time there I studied for 3 years and functioned as an intern for 2 of those years. These years at the Institute were the years where I had the biggest growth in my Christian life and my walk with God. Also during these years I developed my love and enjoyment of working in the local church, especially in the areas of youth discipleship, teaching, and youth leaders. At this point I came to see the need in Brazil for more youth leaders and youth discipleship tools. God used this to help finalize my decision for full-time ministry with local churches and ministry in Brazil.
