I’m a 2nd year missionary from Newaygo, MI.
What brought you to Christ in the City?
From the beginning of highschool I knew I wanted to do mission work after I graduated. However when senior year approached I had no idea where to go. All the young adult ministries that I knew of didn’t seem to be the right fit for me. Then I stumbled upon Christ in the City while listening to a podcast. I started to look into this ministry and very quickly realized that it was exactly what I had been looking for. Daily sacraments, community living, and a ministry of loving others. With every step I took towards CIC God affirmed that this was where he was calling me to go.
How has Christ in the City helped you grow?
My time at Christ in the city has helped me to look at the person in front of me and see Christ himself. To give my heart fully and freely to others even when that means letting my heart break. I have learned that to let your heart break for others is to let your heart truly love and truly be alive.
A bit about me
I grew up in the small town of Newaygo in western Michigan. A cradle Catholic and homeschooled, I am the third oldest of seven in a close knit family. I love all things artsy including painting, sewing, embroidering, sketching, and thrifting. I consider myself an old soul and love the little things like picking flowers or wasting time with those I love. However, nothing fills me with greater joy than to receive Jesus in the Eucharist and to sit at his feet in adoration.
