Why are you going on this trip?
I have always had a desire to go to Ireland ever since I was a Freshman in High School. The Pastor at the time was Mike Swanson and he was discipling me and he would always bring up his heart for Ireland and how he felt that God was calling him there. That really developed a love for Ireland in me that I probably never would have gotten otherwise.
What is your favorite Bible verse?
Romans 1:16
What is something interesting about you?
I enjoy reading and I love to make graphics and all the fun stuff that I do at "work."
What is a favorite childhood memory that you have?
I can't nail down a specific memory, but I loved summers when I was young. My friends at the time and I would ride bikes everywhere and would spend all our time outdoors doing something almost everyday. They were much easier and less stressful times, thats for sure.
When did you give your life to the Lord and how?
I grew up in a Christian home and truly thought until I was about 11-12 that since that was true that I didn't need to do anything and just live my life however I wanted because I was covered. Then when I was a 8th or 9th grader I realized I needed to make a decision for myself and at an event at CCCM I fully gave myself over to the Lord. I had my ups and downs in my walk since then, but I know for a fact that was when I was changed into the likeness of Christ.
How do you want to be used/how do you anticipate being used on this trip?
I want to be used in any way that I can. I know that on mission trips you can be stretched in a bunch of different areas at the same time and I want to be ready for whatever is thrown my way.
Prayer Request:
I want to be used more then anything, but one of the areas that I will DEFINITELY need prayer in is for my teaching at the Youth Club Camp. I have never taught from the Bible for more then about 15 minutes before and I have to talk and teach for 45(!!!) minutes and I am honestly beyond terrified. Also this will be the first time I have a lot of responsibilities while I am on a mission trip and it has definitely stressed me out.
