“God has blessed me with a wonderful family. My parents grew up in Minnesota. I was born at a very young age in Illinois and moved around a few times over the years. We finally landed back in Minnesota a few years later, the land of 10,000 lakes. I am the seventh of just ten kids. My parents desired to give us a vision for missions and ministry serving the Lord. When I was 11, I had the privilege to go overseas for the first time and see the Lord work in people’s lives. The Lord allowed us to spend time in Mongolia, China, and Korea. I love learning new things, playing sports, and helping others. I enjoy traveling, working on cars, and spending time with family.

In Matthew 9:37-38, Jesus says, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 

God has given me a love for children and a passion for discipleship! Leading people to Jesus is one of the most rewarding opportunities that we have on this earth. When you look at the world around us, it’s easy to see so many hurting and broken people in need of a Savior. My desire is to see Christ be lifted up, and that all men would be drawn to him. A verse that has meant a lot to me is Matthew 19:14, which reads, “Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.’”
