Grace grew up in Lino Lakes, Minnesota, and in middle school, her eyes were opened to the glory of God as she confessed Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. Throughout college, God continued to grow her knowledge of Himself and love for Jesus, which in turn grew her desire to see people from all nations come to know Jesus Christ. Since graduating from college in 2015, Grace has been serving in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, seeking to impact the next generation of students on the college campus of UFMG by making disciples of Jesus for the glory of God and for the joy of all peoples.
