My Story
God has been weaving themes of community and food throughout my story since high school. I have been a part of communities of believers who have been formational in teaching me what it means to walk with Jesus in authenticity and curiosity. I’ve also been a part of organizations that use food as a means of serving others and bringing people together around the table. This life is not one we were called to experience alone, and when we look at the life of Jesus, we see that meals and community played vital roles in his ministry. I care deeply about seeing people flourishing in their relationship with Jesus and with each other, and I long for the day when every tribe, tongue and nation will be gathered around the throne singing praises to God and walking in the shalom they were created for for all of eternity.
Where I Work
I work in Berlin, Germany to help people and communities be formed in the way of Jesus for the sake of their neighbors. The foci of my ministry are hospitality, community-focused living, and spiritual formation. Much of what I do is gathering people together to experience the abundant life that Christ came to give us. This looks like sharing meals with people, practicing sabbath together, teaching and embodying spiritual disciplines and rhythms, and inviting people to walk with Jesus through both formal and informal settings.
