These photos are from 4 consecutive years of serving during short term missions trips.

  • In 2014 I traveled to Haiti with my church. There I served mostly as a VBS leader!
  • In 2015 I flew to India with Global Partners to serve mainly orphanages and unreached villages. I loved working with all of the beautiful people there.
  • In 2016 I was able to serve in Italy with my college (UVF) concert choir. Here we used music ministry to reach others outside of the church and then invited them to an evening of song and food at a local church. It was a great time serving pastors too.
  • In 2017 I joined a team from UVF and headed to Cyprus, a country torn by recent cultural war and a lot of hurt. Our ministry mostly consisted of having wonderful conversations over amazing coffee with locals. This trip pushed me out of my comfort zone for sure!
