We can all draw close to him with the veil removed from our faces.

And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of

the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into his very image as we move from

one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from

the Lord, who is the Spirit.

2 Cor 3:18


- What a Year! -

Despite so many global restrictions, missions and outreaches have not stopped! Our Youth With A Mission (YWAM) campus here in France was still able to run multiple schools, send outreach teams, and impact many nations and people. Youth are still being discipled & Jesus is being made known! 2020 Ministry Statistics: Discipleship Schools Run: 4 Outreach Teams Sent: 13 Salvations/Baptisms: 15 Healings: 35 Personally Prayer For: 933 Gospel Shared to: 7,016 Medical Ministries: 1,196 Bibles Given: 85 Missionaries Hosted: 112 This blows my mind! The worldwide restrictions have caused YWAM bases and other missions organisations around the world to completely shut down. And yet, God walked us through 2020 not only with protection, but with so much fruit! God is so faithful! I'm just thankful for what good was able to come out of last year after all.



- On Campus Currently -

We've started our January Backpack Europe DTS (Discipleship Training School) nearly 20 students from all over the world here growing in God and getting ready to go on outreach in March. Each one has a crazy testimony of how God got them here in incredible ways, in the midst of lockdowns & restrictions! We are also continuing with weekly Evangelism, Prayer, & Worship as a ministry to our city and nation. As well, we've worked frequently to aid nearby churches and refugee ministries with feeding & housing programs to help with the ongoing need in the city. How I'm Serving Daily:

This quarter I'm serving on our Accounts team, and continuing to do one on one Discipleship & Mentoring, with some of my fellow volunteer staff. As well, I've begun incorporating more Debriefing into our organisation for both students and staff. Missions trips can be physically, emotionally, & mentally exhausting. So I am passionate about making sure all of the missionaries here are well taken care of in these areas so they continue to impact nations and not burn out. I want to see our outreach teams and missionaries have the resources needed to process all they've seen. I plan to be trained further in Missionary Debriefing skills coming this fall! Pray with me that travel restrictions stay open to allow it.




- Praise Report! -

To everyone who trusted, prayed, & supported me in believing for a Moped for transportation here, I want to say another big THANK YOU! I saw $2,800 come in from so many people, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Please be continuing to pray with me as I'm still waiting on the French DMV to approve my driver's license application. The application has been pending for months, and I need this to continue forward with purchasing the Moped. I'm praying for favor and a fast processing!



Help Support Me: In Prayer & Finances

I can never say enough how grateful I am for you, my support system, back home. Your prayers and gifts are what make it possible for me to stay on this mission God's given me. - - - - - As most of you know, All of this is volunteer work! No one on our ministry campus gets paid. We pay to be here and help because we fully believe in the impact this place is having on youth, Paris, and the nations. Please pray and see if you would like to support me in this ministry here. Thank you!

Things I'm Trusting for:

  • Moped Insurance - To cover my moped for damages, theft, & accidents, I'm trusting for a few supporters to help me! Full coverage will cost around $90/month

  • Healing & Wisdom on for my back and continuing forward.


  • Monthly Financial Partners - I'm still trusting for about $400 more a month to help cover my daily expenses and ministry. I'm inviting people to join my team and partner with me monthly. Please pray about joining my team and funding my ministry here in YWAM.

  • More Photoshoots - if you know any friends or family traveling to Europe, please refer me to anyone and everyone!

If you could help me in ANY of these areas, I would be SO thankful! Love you all! Thanks to everyone for all the support and prayer! I couldn't do this without YOU!
