I am on staff with Campus für Christus, also known as Cru or Agape. In the picture above you can see me with my husband Alex, who works as a software developer. We live in Austria, located in the heart of Europe, a crossroads for many cultures.

While the Church and Christian traditions are well known here, when I ask a typical Austrian if God is relevant to their life, the common response is, "No... but I am spiritual." This response highlights the need for relational evangelism. The best next step for us as believers is to embrace a natural, missional lifestyle—creating safe spaces for our neighbors and friends to explore, question, and search for who God is and who He wants to be in their lives.

Agape Europe has incredible ministries, projects, and missionaries who are teaching Christians how to do this. I dream of seeing these teams and individuals become financially healthy with self-sustaining resources.

Since 2019, I’ve taken on more responsibility for the financial aspects of our organization—specifically, managing income (though not accounting). My primary focus is helping national trainers and coaches equip their staff to become self-funded and cover their gross salary costs. I also train and coach the leaders of various ministries, where over 1,000 European staff serve, helping them grow in sustainability, resource abundance, and, ultimately, their generosity towards society.

The Great Commission is made possible through sustainability, abundance, and generosity. Thank you for your prayers and support!
