Hi Friends!

God is good! Amen? Amen! He moved through my local church in Michigan and the faithful follow-up of Cru at the University of Michigan to save my heart and life from the dead. Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to serving with Him in reaching the world. I’ve been a full-time missionary with Cru since 2018, trusting God to transform the hearts and lives of college students. First at the University of Michigan, and for the last four years at Bowling Green State University, God has done just that!! While there are ups and downs of course, I’m so thankful for the blessing it is to see Him move. 


At BG, He’s raised up from the ground an entire movement of Christ-centered, multiplying disciples who will walk in faith for a lifetime. Through outreach in small groups, all-campus events, and individual discipleship, we equip students to understand and grow in their faith while learning to share with others in their classes, halls, and future careers. Our winter, spring, and summer trips provide amazing, unique opportunities to grow in community and share Jesus with the world.

This generation could be the one to finish the Great Commission. We have the access, and the resources, but we must follow through. I think college students are the perfect place to focus! They have so much potential as our future leaders, businessmen, and hopefully, missionaries. They are the voice of the future. When we see God grow college students into mission-minded leaders, we see a web of changed lives that continues to multiply with each passing year.

I need your prayers and support to make this possible! Would you partner with me in this mission? Thanks so much for considering it! Together, we will reach our communities today to reach the world tomorrow.
