When I interned with Bridges in 2025, the Lord revealed to me what my life’s mission is:

To be with God and to invite God’s image-bearers to be with Him with me for eternity. 

In this season, the “image-bearers” the Lord has placed on my heart are international students on college campuses.

At the Vision Conference in December 2021, I had a life-changing encounter with the Lord — second only to the moment I turned from Hinduism and trusted in Christ at age fifteen. That day, God called me to serve with Bridges International, a calling He has kept fiercely alive in me ever since.

In 2025, I witnessed His heart firsthand as I interned with Bridges for ten months on the campuses of the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) and the University of North Texas (UNT). Through guidance of the Holy Spirit in friendships with international students, it was clear to see that God's pursuit over their lives is filled with His sovereignty and compassion. He also made clear to me that He longs for international students to know His saving power, and is moved by His grief over international students that are spiritually lost. I am honored to have been invited into this beautiful longing and grief. 

Now, I am stepping into a full-time missionary role with Bridges, raising financial and prayer support to continue this work at UTD and UNT. I am deeply grateful that God is continuing to invite me to walk in the good works He prepared in advance.

My focus is to share the gospel with unbelieving international students and to disciple and equip believing students​.

A little bit on Bridges...

The Lord has established Bridges International on college campuses to provide a safe space where international students can encounter the gospel. Through community, spiritual conversations, and acts of service, we reflect the love of Christ and help students navigate their new lives in the U.S. The goal is for Bridges to be a safe home away from home, where they are free to explore curiosities about Christ. This ministry also serves as a gateway for students from unreached nations to hear and explore the gospel, sometimes for the first time, during their most likely limited time in America.

I would love to invite you to seek God about joining me in this mission by partnering with me financially through monthly giving or prayerfully, however the Lord leads you. Your partnership would make you a vital piece of the puzzle in serving His Kingdom, and I consider it an honor to serve Him alongside you. The Lord has invited me to be expectant in Him and all He can and will do, and I'd love to extend that invitation to you.
