What brought you to Christ in the City?
A lot! But ultimately, it was the Lord revealing my love for the poor and my desire to be more deeply formed for lifelong mission. I visited a friend in Denver back in January of 2024, and we volunteered with CIC for a Wednesday Lunch in the Park. Since then, CIC has remained on my heart, and the Holy Spirit has been guiding me here. I knew that after graduating from LSU, I wanted to join a mission program where I could be formed into a better missionary disciple of Christ and further develop a heart of service. When I visited CIC this past February, I fell in love with everything about their mission! Above all, I fell in love with the poor. I realized how much my heart breaks for the homeless and how deeply I desire to love them. During Lunch in the Park, I was making a friend, and our encounter really touched me – it was the first time I was ever talking to someone and saw Jesus Christ in his eyes.
What are you looking forward to?
So much!! I am excited for the simple lifestyle of a CIC missionary and further detachment from the things of the world. I look forward to learning more about myself and being pushed to grow in new ways. I am excited to experience a new, beautiful place with some amazing people that will become my close friends. Most of all, I am looking forward to encountering new people and having the chance to pour into them and share with them the love, joy, and hope of Christ.
A little bit about me…
I just graduated from Louisiana State University – Geaux Tigers!!! The person I have become is a reflection of the Lord’s goodness, the people He’s placed in my life, and the deep freedom found in Christ. I loveeee meeting new people and making friends with anyone I cross paths with – loving them however I can! Above all, I just love to enjoy the life Christ died for us to live. I love to laugh and play and revel in the beauty of everything and everyone around me. I try to never pass up a chance to go to a concert or hear some live music. Spontaneous plans are my favorite ones – or, no plans at all! While I cherish experiencing new places, I will still miss fall football games in Tiger Stadium and some good food and drink from back home 🙂
