I grew up in Northwest Kansas in a Christian family. I never truly understood that I could have a relationship with Christ until I was in college at Kansas State University. My sister invited me to join Student Mobilization, an on-campus ministry. God used this ministry and my sister to show me what it meant to have a personal relationship with Christ and how I can live it out in my daily life. Throughout my three and a half years of college, the Lord grew my heart for the world and the need for all nations to be reached with the gospel. I graduated in December 2019 and accepted a position with the CO LEAD Manila team. I am excited to serve in Manila and see the Kingdom of God grow!
