I have the opportunity to return to Uganda this summer on a mission trip with the Rural Pastors Institute, and I am very excited to go back. My first two trips to Uganda in 2017 and 2022 were amazing experiences, and I can’t wait to serve there again. I am looking forward to growing closer to God and building deeper relationships with the people of Uganda on this trip.

​

I was saved at four years old when my mom shared the gospel with me. She explained that we are all sinners deserving of death, but that God took our punishment and sent Jesus to die on the cross in our place. I believed that message and accepted Christ at a young age. I didn’t always take my relationship with Him very seriously, though, until high school, when I was challenged to live for and love Jesus with my whole heart and life. From that point on, I began pursuing Him more deeply. Later, I attended Word of Life Bible Institute, where I grew stronger in my relationship with Jesus and learned how to better explain and share the gospel with others.

​

Over the years, God has given me opportunities to serve on mission trips to both Belize and Uganda. These were incredible experiences where I was able to help spread the gospel and serve through manual labor to support local communities. I truly believe God used those moments to grow me closer to Him and deepen my heart for missions.

​

On this trip, we will be serving alongside the Ugandan team with the primary focus of building a model home on the Model Farm property, as well as visiting pastors and encouraging communities in their village settings.

​

I enjoy teaching and am gifted in art, singing, and connecting with kids and other women. I love building relationships and encouraging others, and I am happy to serve wherever I am needed, whether through ministry, practical help, or hands-on work.

​

Please pray for me and our team—for safe travel, open hearts, meaningful connections, and that God would use us to share His love and serve faithfully in every opportunity.
