My parents became Christians when I
was an infant and so from when I can remember I've been exposed to the
teachings of Jesus. When I was 6 years old I remember praying to accept
Christ in the backseat of my mom's car.
Shortly after, difficult circumstances and moves to three different cities
left me disconnected from church and fellowship with other Christians, but
my awareness of God's love and and the truth of what Jesus had done never
disappeared.
When I was 17 I began talking to a friend about my relationship with God and
through these discussions, found a church where I felt welcomed and as
though I was a contributing part of the church body. That summer I went on a
youth mission camp with the youth group and God showed me that knowing Jesus
wasn't just about accepting his sacrifice as true, but about giving my life
over to him wholly. Since then, I have been walking with Jesus as my centre
and it has taken me places I've never expected.
In 2004 I graduated with a degree in Middle Childhood Education, but God
showed me that I wasn't to be a teacher. I ended up serving with Agape UK in
Liverpool for two years, evangelising to university students from all over
the world and discipling christians who are hungry to grow. Through this
experience God has given me a deep desire to see every Christian equipped to be
a deep-rooted follower of Jesus who invests in God's kingdom by sharing our Good
News with anyone and everyone!
