Why you feel God led you to work at Grace (what you're giving): God has me here to take our program to the next level. I love spending time with students and discipling them to that they can reach their hurting and lost friends. In that same way I love those hurting and lost students. When I have the opportunity to meet with some of them I am really humbled.

How your faith has been strengthened by working at Grace (what you're getting): Through some of our struggles, I've definitely been challenged to trust Him with ALL things. There is nothing that he doesn't want to be involved in.

Spiritual Gifts & Passions: My spiritual gifts are Faith, Hospitality, and Giving. My passion is to raise of students that will leave this place equipped and passionate about changing the world around them. That means that they will be passionate about studying the Bible, sharing Christ with others, and caring for those that are in need.

Vision/hopes/dreams for you and/or your ministry: Our dream is that there wouldn't be any students in North Raleigh who don't know that Christ loves them. We, one day, would love to fill up Grace Hall on Sunday nights, while still having built community through healthy small groups.
