We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
1 Peter 3:15
I am a first year missionary at the University of Arkansas!

I encountered Christ for the first time in my hospital bed when I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Here, the Lord gave me the strength to face a lifetime of unknown suffering. Still, it took me 20 years to respond to His call to follow Him.
At the University of Florida I prayed for Christ to reveal Himself in the same way, as I felt I had lost sight of where He was in my life. At a retreat later that semester, I encountered Christ in the Eucharist with the same love I felt so many years ago as a child. His words echoed saying “I was here the whole time.”
After the retreat, I traded in my life to pursue the greatest good, total relationship with Christ through the Catholic Church. With God’s grace and the support of those at the University of Florida and the Christian Study Center, I was able to say Yes to His call on my life for mission. He has and continues to show me how only a love like His can fill my heart, and that this love should be shared with others. My mission is that by speaking His name and being a witness to His love, people can’t help but to fall in love with Christ as well.
Thank you for your love and consideration!
God calls all of us to live out mission in different ways. I am blessed to be called to be sent to the foreign lands of Arkansas and while it can be even more difficult to donate, let it be known that your sacrifice no matter how small could be the difference for one soul won for Christ. Above all else pray for me and those on my team. Your support is the means to which everyone can reach their purpose to love God with our whole hearts. Whatever you decide, do it with great love, as it is the greatest of gifts. I would be honored to have you be a part of my financial support team!
Feel free to reach out to if you have any questions or to set up an appointment! I would love to get to know you!
