Hello! Thank you so much for considering partnering with me!
In 2011, I was a senior at Soddy Daisy High School in Chattanooga. Lost and looking for something or someone to make me whole. Cru staff (pictured to the left) came to my volleyball team and introduced me to Jesus. And I was never the same.
The following year, while spending time in the Word in my college dorm the Lord met me. I remember Him impressing on my heart the memory of who I had been and the reminder of what I needed (someone to come find me and introduce me to Jesus). The culmination of this was a call to 'be who I needed when I was younger'.
Over the last 12 years, I have lived out that calling in a variety of ways - first as a captain of my volleyball team, then a youth director for a small church, a volleyball and basketball coach, a volunteer, and finally a staff member with Cru reaching high school students and training our volunteers and apprentices.
Currently, I serve on the New Staff Orientation team, mobilizing missionaries to reach our scope - the entire world! I love getting to do this because is is a new avenue to faithfully live out ‘being who I needed when I was younger…”
New Staff Orientation is a 10 day conference held four times a year that EVERY new staff is required to attend. It is the launching pad to mobilize missionaries to go to every part of the world, society, and strategy.
My heart is to care, train, and equip our new staff across Cru with the gift of reality and resources from New Staff Orientation, New Leaders Training, and their first two years of Core Training.
Here is the reality: Cru has over 16,000 missionaries in 190 countries with 25+ different ministries. And although we have many laborers, the harvest is ripe and ready for the harvest. Crus scope to reach EVERY still looms large.
