Hi, I'm Blake

What brought you to Christ in the City?

I have always had a longing to do something that was more than the normal 9 to 5. My senior year of high school I was asking around a discerning what God might have for me in the future. My FOCUS director at the time recommended I look into Christ in the City. Just from looking at the mission online I fell in love. After discerning to wait a year, I gave into the longing in my heart to see, know, and love the lowly and join the mission!

What are you looking forward to?

I am deeply excited to Heart of Jesus to the Unseen. I am also really excited to live in community and get to know my fellow missionaries. Lastly, I’m very excited to get to know myself and know God throughout this entire mission.

A little bit about me…

I have lived in small town Nebraska my entire life until graduating from Wayne State College in May 2024. I had a deep conversion to Jesus my senior year of high school and joined the Catholic Church in Easter 2023! I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and worked for a year for the City of Papillion Finance Department. I am youngest of 2 by 12 years! I love deep talks, good books and film, playing and listening to music, and sports!

Where is your hometown?

I am from the small town Ashland, Nebraska in between Omaha and Lincoln
