Hi, I'm Ashly — but you can call me Ash.

I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and moved to the U.S. when I was 14. I'm 21 now, so most of my life was shaped on that beautiful island. When I was 15, I gave my life to Christ. Two years later, I went on my first mission trip — and that experience marked me forever.

I still remember the faces, the stories, the pain in people's eyes... but also the overwhelming love they had for one another. I saw the presence of God move in such a real, magnificent way. I witnessed the love of Christ poured out over each soul we encountered. That's when I knew — this is it. I'm called to be a missionary.

Not too long ago, the Holy Spirit reminded me of something wild — back when I lived in the DR, I had this vivid imagination. I'd dream big. I used to say, “One day, I'm gonna have so much money... I'll build houses for people, feed the homeless, help the hurting.” Little did I know, God was already shaping my heart for the mission He had planned all along.

Just like the Word says:
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.”
Even before I was born, He had a purpose etched into my story.
