Ministry:
Serving in Haiti at the Bethesda Medical Center (BMC) with One Mission Society, Lord willing by August 2012.

Testimony:
I was raised in a Christian home and accepted Jesus as my personal Savior on 2/15/92. When I was 8 my family and I went to Haiti with OMS Int’l (now One Mission Society). Dad served as Field Treasurer and Mom as a whatever-needs-to-be-doner. In 1999 we moved to the UK. Public HS was hard, I swore I would never be a missionary. But at a WYnet retreat I surrendered to His will. In 2004 I started at Pensacola Christian College. It took six years and 3 failed classes but I graduated with a Bachelor's in Science and Nursing on Wednesday, May 12, 2010.
In 2007 I served at BMC for two months. In 2009 I was part of a team to Cote d'Ivoire. Both Haiti and Cote d'Ivoire are very similar in language, culture, and people. Though I realized during my Cote d’Ivoire trip that my heart was in Haiti, it wasn't until 2010 that I prayed "Lord, can I go back to Haiti?” and He said "Go"!
