Why I became an SPO Missionary

Jesus is changing my heart and desires. He has brought me down a path that I never would have expected; the Spirit has put a zeal for souls in me! I wasn't raised in the church, I didn't give my life to Christ until college, and now I want other college students to encounter the love, peace, and purpose I have found in the Lord. I trust that God has brought me into SPO to encounter students through genuine, authentic friendship, shining Christ's light into their hearts to transform them into lifelong followers of Jesus.

Favorite Scripture Verse

“Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Never flag in zeal, be aglow with the Spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality.” ‭‭- Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬-‭13‬
