A little bit about me: I love reading fairy tale stories, watching movies with a big bowl of popcorn (and M&Ms), and enjoy serving to the extreme.
As a child, I was taught that serving is a gift, not just to the people that receive it, but to you too. You can always learn something about people, God, and honestly, it feels good to serve. I would help my mom with painting, gardening, and all sorts of things for other people. When I was a teen, I rediscovered serving through the sound booth in my youth group at church. It was amazing to be a part of the worship and pastor’s message by placing them on the screens.
Now, as a young adult, I have an incredible opportunity to serve in Korea through Assemblies of God World Missions. I am joining with Chi Alpha Korea to serve at 6 different universities and 1 high school for a full year starting this summer. Chi Alpha is a campus ministry that puts 2 Corinthians 5:20 into action: reconciling students to Christ. We meet students, hang out with them, and show them who Christ is through bible study, worship nights, and mentorship
Will you partner with me as I go to Korea? Will you help me put faith into action for God to move on these students’ futures?
Please Join Me in Prayer:
- For open doors.
- To remember daily that He is bigger.
- For His ways, not my own.
- That students’ lives will be radically changed.
