As young as age 10, I knew I was called to the mission field. However, I often wrestled with how my passion for administration and organized systems could possibly fit into this calling. Discovering A Jesus Mission in 2022 brought the picture together and fueled the passion the Lord had given me for missions. Over the next 2 years, I spent time training under members of AJM’s leadership, learning what it truly means to be a missionary – beyond preaching or overseas travel. Throughout that time, I saw how my offerings are a fulfillment of Romans 12:4-5, which says:

“For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.”

My call to missions may look different, but it’s no less essential. The reality is that every missionary on the field – whether stateside or abroad – desperately needs the care, support, and infrastructure that is provided by a sending church or organization. I was called to be a part of that support.

Today, I serve as the Onboarding Specialist for A Jesus Mission, where I have the privilege of walking alongside every new missionary applicant from their very first step. It’s a front-row seat to God’s global work – one conversation, one life, one story at a time.

I also serve with Kingdom Coffee, a missional coffee shop in California where we model Christlike service, engage our community with the Gospel, and give 100% of proceeds to global ministry efforts.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Your prayers and support not only create sustainability for me, they equip missionaries across the globe to step into their calling. I’m honored to advance the Kingdom with you.
