How the Lord called me to Orange County California?
I was born and raised in Orange County, however left after high school for 8 years. Upon returning unexpectedly, the Lord began to soften my heart toward reaching students, and called me back to be a part of growing His Kingdom in Orange County.
God has given me vision that Orange County would be steadfast and rooted like a Cedar of Lebanon as described in scripture. That the branches of the tree would expand to reach and shade those outside of the Kingdom of God. That they would be brought into the durable, strong, safety and freedom of the tree; knowing Jesus deeply, and sharing His freedom with others also. I am overjoyed to step in and help bring the gospel forth, along with helping young women develop in their faith before stepping out into the post college world.
Who am I?
I am from a small beach town in Southern California called Corona del Mar. After high school I moved to San Luis Obispo and studied Construction Management at California Polytechnic State University. Coming into college as a new Christian, I was still discovering what it meant to walk with the Lord. Cru was a community that intersected with me as I entered the college world. God used Cru to teach me how to not only share my faith, but fully rest in His truth daily as I am sanctified. I hope to be a vessel at on campuses in OC to help shepherd students as they discover and know God personally.
