My Story
From living in the Sunshine State to serving in the Land of the Midnight Sun, I have learned that "my God is my Rock, in whom I take refuge" (2 Samuel 22:3a). Since I was a teenager I have felt His call to share the Hope of Christ with those who've never heard. The current refugee crisis in Europe has developed into an incredible opportunity to minister to both refugees and local Greeks. The needs are great but our God is greater, and I am excited to share the Refuge of Christ with those who greatly need Him.
Where I Work
"I live in a southern suburb of Athens, where I work alongside the Greek church in local ministry and evangelism as well as a refugee integration program.
Athens, Greece is a ""gateway city"" where thousands of refugees live in desperate conditions as they await resettlement. In addition, less than 1% of Greeks have a personal relationship with Jesus. Our vision is to see both the the physical and spiritual needs of these communities met in a way that unites various peoples in service to Christ's kingdom."
