I live in Pennsylvania with my husband, Josh, and our three adult children. I didn’t grow up in a Christian home and had a very broken family life. After my mother passed away in 2006, I developed a closer and more dependent relationship with the Lord, but still struggled with anxiety and fear. When a brother came into my life and challenged me to walk in the Lord's Word and live out what I said I believed, I went from being a girl who had anxiety and panic attacks from taking the wrong turn or traveling more than 30 minutes from home to the point of hyperventilating, to a woman of the Lord boarding a plane to Guatemala. After a few trips there, the Lord continued to press on my heart the unreached parts of the world that were harder to reach.

With a brother in Christ involved and sharing the vision of building a school in Pakistan for brick kiln enslaved children, the Lord worked on my heart, leading me to get involved first by prayer, then by giving, and then by going. I have a great desire to help others out of bondage into the freedom our Lord has for each of us when we allow ourselves to be used in whatever capacity He wants to bring Him glory.

Currently, we are working alongside a team at our school for brick kiln enslaved children in Pakistan.The school is bringing His Word and hope for a better future to these children. We have also partnered with ministry partners in Faisalabad, launching a women's sewing empowerment program with the same prayer of it being a resource to help spread the Lord's message and offer women a chance to help provide for their families in some way.

Your prayers would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in taking a trip and exploring what the Lord may be calling you into in missions, I'd love to talk to you. I feel blessed to now be a part of the MVI family, who share the same calling.
