People. 

I once heard a quote, “Ministry would be easier without people”. While true, all of us have our own messes, stumbles and wheelbarrows of mistakes…..I am in this job for the PEOPLE. 

It’s definitely not for earthly rewards. It’s not for the travel perks (which I know are a blessing). It’s not for the hours spent support raising and trying to share the vision of how God is using me. It’s not for the 7 AM skype calls to Asia and the 15 hour days we work at training camps. 

It’s for HIS Kingdom and all the people around the world that I want to be a part of it. 


This year my squad has consisted of 21 different people, from 7 different countries. They are amazing, both individually and as a collective group.

My leadership team is also a huge blessing. We have grown in this journey together since last year…and most of the time it’s been a wild ride!

At the end of the day….this is why I do what I do. The people. As I invest in this group of world changers, encourage them, pray for them, tell them some hard truths, serve alongside them, train them and watch them grow. Stand in their corner. They get to do the same to hundreds of people around the world this year…and share how God can change their life too. 

I’m so grateful for all the people that support me and invest in my life, and I want to share some of the stories you’ve helped make happen. Below are a few blogs from my squad this year. take a few minutes out of your day and read about the amazing things God is doing around the world and in the lives of PEOPLE.

This morning I am thankful for the people in my life and job. In all our brokenness and insecurities there is also freedom and celebration thanks to Christ! 

As I continue through this year I’m 20% short of my financial support goal. If you want to partner with me shoot me a message and ask how, or click on the ‘donate’ link on the left side of the screen. 

Thank you for all the support and encouragement throughout the years. Make sure to celebrate God’s goodness today!
