God began burdening my heart for missions as a young child as I listened to visiting missionaries at my church. I attended Faith Baptist Bible College from 2004-2008. While there, God led me to Peru for a year of study as part of the Arriba program. After I returned to the United States, the Lord made it clear that He wanted me to serve Him full-time in Peru. After seminary, I began raising support and arrived for my first term in 2015, where I have been serving as an assistant church planter. I love working with children, teens, and women with the purpose of bringing them to Christ, discipling them, and training them to do the same.
