We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
I am in my fourth year as a missionary at Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches! I was blessed to be at Mount St. Mary’s in Maryland the past 3 years, but am so excited to be back in Texas. I’m in my first year as a team director and am so grateful for the opportunity to serve my teammates and run with them on mission!
The missionaries during my years in undergrad changed my life by helping me develop a relationship with Jesus as a person and not a distant creator. It was far too easy to place my identity in my education, future career, reputation, etc. I realized God didn’t want to just be another subcategory in my life. He wanted to saturate every single aspect of my life and it has been the most joyful, authentic, and free life. I am so grateful to be able to bring the joy of the Gospel to this campus through my time as a FOCUS missionary. During a time when people are making huge life choices and deciding who they are, I believe, is one of the most important times to make sure God is invited into it all. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be an instrument for Him while He continually transforms my own heart.
When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. I’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve on campus. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you.
