My Story
While a student at Wheaton College, I felt the call to ministry overseas, which quickly led to a heart for Europe! After graduating, I spent time serving in Hungary, which only confirmed the Lord had given me a heart for the European church and working cross-culturally!
With experience both working and volunteering in youth ministry, discipleship, outreach, and craft coffee, I am excited to serve this ongoing ministry in Albania! My team's hope is to see disciples of Christ making disciples and living as lights in a city looking for hope.
Where I Work
Albania is a country steeped in a rich coffee culture. As a way to naturally meet the community in the city of Vlore, the "Ura" coffee shop (which means "bridge") began! It naturally became a space for life on life discipleship/apprenticeship and community building. This historically muslim culture is open to spirituality and searching for hope and purpose - what a natural bridge for the Gospel of Christ!
