I was born and raised in a pastor’s home in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, where I had the privilege of daily hearing about God and His love for me. When I was about five years’ old, I prayed to ask Christ to save me. Over the next few years, however, I struggled with doubts about my salvation. After hearing a preacher state that it is Christ’s finished work at Calvary, and not a prayer that saves, God gave me assurance of my salvation; I recognized then that my salvation is solely based on my trusting in Christ’s death and resurrection.During my childhood, I always wanted to be a missionary. As God continued to work in my life, I realized this desire wasn’t just a childhood dream, but rather something that God was calling me to. At the end of mid-winter revival services at my school during my eighth grade year, I dedicated my life to God for missions work.
In the summer of 2012, I had the privilege of spending two months in Honduras for my missions’ internship. I graduated from Bob Jones University the following year with a Bachelor’s degree in missions and a minor in music. God used a second trip to Honduras in the spring of 2015 to confirm in my life that that was where He was leading me to serve.
I arrived in Honduras on June 14, 2017 and plan to be here for three years for my first term. Pray for me as I adjust to life in Honduras, and as I begin language classes here in San Pedro Sula to get the rest of the way to bilingual status!
