A LIFE IN MISSIONS
2004-2006
MISSIONARY KID
When I was seven months old, my parents took me with them to Albania for two months. In 2004, we moved there for two years. I was nine, and I grew up with missions as a part of my regular, every day life.
January 2008-Present
CHURCH VOLUNTEERING
I started volunteering in my church's toddler and preschool classes as soon as I was able, which was when I was thirteen. I started teaching those classes as soon as I was able, when I was eighteen. I have also volunteered with the media team since I was a teenager, and now lead that team. I have been a member of New Hope Vineyard church (formally Vineyard Community church) in Marietta, GA, ever since I was eleven, and went on a week long missions trip with them to Nicaragua in 2013.
January 2015-June 2015
YWAM DISCIPLESHIPÂ TRAININGÂ SCHOOL
I went to Hurlach, Germany to attend a YWAM DTS when I was just about to turn twenty years old. After three months of school, we went on three months of outreach to Bulgaria and Greece.
July 2018-Present
ONE COLLECTIVE
Through people I knew in Greece, I found the organization which would become my sending organization, One Collective. I've gone on two vision trips to Greece with them, and served in Clarkston with them for a year, first through GFM, and then as an Administrative Assistant to the local catalyst. I continue to work for them as a ministry coordinator in Athens, Greece.
August 2019-December 2019
GLOBAL FRONTIER MISSIONS
Through a partnership One Collective has with GFM, I attended their five month Missions Training School, which is part Socratic classroom study and participation, part hands on work in the community.
