Hi, I'm Ava

Ava, 1st year missionary from Waxahachie, Texas.

What brought you to Christ in the City?

I learned about Christ in the City in 2023 and found it beautiful how young adults come together to share the heart of Jesus with the homeless. While I was visiting Denver, I fell in love with the mission of serving our friends on the streets and forming true relationships with them. God guided every step I took toward Christ in the City, and all I had to do was say ‘yes’ and trust in Him!

What are you looking forward to?

I’m looking forward to getting to know the hearts of new friends on the streets and sharing the Lord’s joy with them. I’m excited to live in the CIC community and learn what it means to live simply. I’m looking forward to what God will teach me this upcoming year about myself and His great love for us!

A little bit about me…

I grew up in North Texas with a very supportive family who encourages me to try new things and chase after what God is calling me to do. Until I graduated high school in 2024, I performed in musicals and plays from a young age and loved every second of it. I am currently in my first year at Texas State
University majoring in Pre-Nursing. I enjoy spending time with my family, resting with Jesus in adoration, reading, trying new recipes, running, and hanging out with my sweet dogs.
