My Story
It was a warm spring night, standing the parking lot near my university apartment, when I told God, "I'll go anywhere and do anything you want me to do." That has led to a grand adventure of following God and seeing how He is working and moving among the nations. I have been in full-time ministry since 2007, using my gifts of administration, service, and teaching to take the Gospel around the world.
Where I Work
After serving with GEM in Germany for 5 years, I made the transition to the Czech Republic in 2022. I currently serve as the Prague Area Leader for GEM and have the privilege of supporting the work of the other GEM missionaries in Prague.
In addition to my GEM leadership responsibilities, the rest of my work is focused at the Christian International School of Prague (CISP). In a country where less than 1% of the population claims to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the school is a beacon of hope. I serve as an elementary PE teacher and the Event Coordinator – where I get to help organize all-school events focused on building school community and providing opportunities for students to excel outside the classroom. With a growing enrollment of over 160 students from more than 30 countries, CISP is spreading the Gospel around the world through the education of the students and interactions with the families it serves.
