I am a product of missions. Because of an American missionary in the Philippines, my dad got saved, and I had the blessing of growing up in a Christian home and putting my faith in Jesus at the age of seven. After college, the Lord continued stirring my heart for missions, and I attended a missions camp that challenged my plans. Romans 12:1 was preached, and I realized that giving my life to serve Jesus was nothing but my reasonable service. That day, I surrendered my life to serve Him as a missionary. I later moved to Georgia to attend Vision Baptist Church and study missions at the Our Generation Training Center. In 2018, the Lord opened the door for me to go on a missions trip to South America. God used that first trip to this continent to grow a burden in my heart for the people, direct my steps toward Chile, and allow me to see the ministry firsthand in July 2019.

Today, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside veteran missionaries Jason and Lori Holt in Chile. Since 2005, God has used the Holts and a team of missionaries and national pastors to plant 17 churches, train men and women, and establish the Chile Baptist College. Within this ministry, I have the privilege of serving through evangelism, discipleship, and teaching women and children; developing outreach ministries in church plants; and providing administrative support to the Chile ministry team. I am awed by how God continues to multiply His work here, humbled to play a small part in reaching Chileans with the gospel, and encouraged by the promise of 1 Thessalonians 5:24 – “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.”
