Hi everyone! I’m so excited to share that this summer I’ll be spending 6 weeks in Seoul, South Korea on a missions trip with Encompass, a Christian outreach group organized at Ohio University.

Our mission is to partner with a local college campus in Seoul where we’ll be teaching English, building relationships, and walking through the Book of Luke with students and others around the campus! 

This trip means so much to me personally. Many of you know parts of my testimony regarding growing up with heart problems, trying to find my purpose, and wondering why God placed certain battles in my life. But through all of it, Jesus brought clarity, healing, and purpose in ways I could have never imagined. This opportunity to go and serve is truly a blessing, and I feel called to share that same hope and empowerment with others.

To make this trip possible, I’m asking for support. If you feel led, you can support me in three ways:

🙏 Pray: for our team, for the students we’ll be meeting, and for God to work in meaningful ways and change lives.

🤍 Give:  any amount helps me get one step closer to being able to serve as one of God’s disciple on this mission. 

📩 Reach out — if you want to hear more about the mission, my story, or what we’ll be doing, I’d love to talk privately whether that’s meeting up, a phone call or just information! 

Thank you so much to everyone who supports me, financially, spiritually, or through encouragement. I’m so grateful, and I can’t wait to see how God works this summer and I’m beyond blessed for the opportunity to serve with such an amazing community of student with hearts that thrive for the Lord ! 

Many churches around the world struggle to build meaningful relationships with their international neighbors. Let’s Start Talking helps by equipping Christians to share English, friendship, and faith through a simple, conversational approach. The outcome is more churches connected to their communities, more Christians sharing their lives and faith, and more people turning to God. 

To participate in a mission project this year I have committed to raise funds for LST. This money is used to fund the recruiting, development, and support of all LST team members, as well as the travel and project costs of my particular project. Please give generously today and be a part of my team! And please pray for me and for my teammates that everything we do will bring glory to God.
