Where are you serving this summer, and who is your mentor?
Redemption Ranch in Winfield, MO, with Jason Zellmer

How did you first encounter Jesus Christ, and how has His lordship continued to change your life?
I grew up surrounded by Christians. Both my dad and grandpa were pastors, so I figured I was saved by association. Through time and hardships, I realized I wasn’t and that God saves throughout hard times and good times. He loves and forgives. When we run to Him and seek Him out in all that we do, we find true peace and happiness

What does the church mean to you?
To me, the church is not the building it’s the people, the body of Christ you worship, pray, and fellowship with. You build one another up in Christ.

As a student, how have you shared – and are currently sharing – your faith with others?
I’m very open about my faith and I tell people that God can and will bring them the peace hope and love they are searching for in the world but haven’t found because true never ending happiness comes from Christ

What do you feel is your vocational call (future career), and how do you anticipate sharing your faith through that call?
At this moment I’m not completely sure what direction God is taking me but I know whatever I do is God’s will for me

Why do you want to be a summer missionary?
Missions are when you go out and share the gospel with others who do not know Christ and everything you are doing is done with a Christlike mindset and attitude I’m wanting to be a summer missionary because summer is when most people are too consumed but activities to do anything and I want to use this time to give all my time thoughts and attention to Christ and to fully devote all that I have to him. And to help lead and help others use the time to grow in Him.
