Beginning in 2013-2015, we both served within the Cru Red River Region (2.5 million students in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, as well as the millions of students in 18+ international locations). And it was from this region of Cru that we felt the Lord call us to serve in Lisbon, Portugal, where we worked for four years. 

Now back in Texas, I am working remotely to provide critical infrastructure for the National Campus Ministry, by serving with the Fund Development Team. Part of my role is gathering stories to share and raise awareness for the ministry to expand even further. Some of my key responsibilities are to give lift to Everystudent.com and Freshman Survival Kits. 

Another area of ministry that I have the privilege to give time to is working with the International Students here in Austin, Texas. I really love how this has connected my overseas seasons of life and ministry with what my current role is here in the heart of Texas. Spending time with international students is truly an open door to sharing Jesus with the world.

My family consists of my husband, Jeremy (formally with Cru for 12+ years, and now working with another nonprofit); our son, Jeremiah (born April 2018); and our daughter, Liesl Anne (born February 2020). And oh yeah, Otis, our 10lb schnauzer.

Our Vision
Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the 20 million students in the USA, as students come to faith, disciple and build them up in their faith, and mobilize them to go, taking the Gospel to places that we, as Americans, cannot go.  

Get Involved!
I am developing a team of ministry partners - people who want to participate in our ministry with prayer and financial support. Join my team to reach the campus today and change the world tomorrow!
