Testimony:

I grew up in a Christian home and accepted the Lord at a young age. In college, I realized that I wanted to be able to serve God and other people by being involved in ministry. Little did I know where that would lead me. I was introduced to Cadence International and fell in love with the idea of sharing the gospel and my life with the military community. Though I’d had no exposure to the military beforehand, the Lord gave me a passion for the military and a compassion for the special needs and challenges that they face. 

I have been overseas with Cadence for six years. I started as an intern in a hospitality house in Vicenza, Italy. Then I moved to be the college ministry director in Mannheim, Germany. Three years ago I moved to Heidelberg, Germany to do women’s ministry and help with the hospitality house there. It has been a privilege to help women as they grow in their understanding of God and the Bible, get excited about sharing God with others, learn how to minister to others, and walk closer with Jesus. I’ve had the honor of being a friend to talk to and lean on in troubled times, like divorces, sexual assault, parents’ illnesses, facing deployment, and the regular twists and turns that life takes. God has done amazing things in this ministry.
