Friends and family, first I would like to thank you for visiting my page and taking time to read my story. This may seem like a surprise to you as it is, very well, a shock to me too. I am understanding that sometimes the greatest change, in not just myself but others, requires stepping out of my comfort zone. A zone in which I am very excited to be in as I partake on this trip to the Holy Land.

I can see that this mission trip is going to be one of the most impactful and life shaping events that I will get to experience. I never would have thought God would lead me down this path of salvation to give back to many communities not just at home, but internationally. I see the change and joy that God has brought into my life and I feel it placed in my heart to expand and expound on His grace and goodness around the world. Aside from accepting Christ into my heart, I found and felt that my purpose in life is to help evangelize and pour love into the communities I am apart of.

Of course due to life's responsibilities and circumstances, I understand that not everyone can go out into the world to serve as much as one would like to. Although you may not be able to serve along side me, you can still serve WITH me. If you would like to take part in serving with me by helping fundraise for my mission trip, I'd appreciate it very much. It would be an honor to be the hands and feet for those of you who serve through donations to missions like this.
