At the start of this year, I felt the Lord calling me to live out the Great Commission more clearly in my life. I wasn’t sure what that would look like, but I was ready to say yes when the opportunity came.

Through that, I was connected with Mercy Kids Africa and quickly fell in love with their mission. After prayer and conversation, I felt confident this was where I was being called to go.

My husband and I were married last year, and we are excited to make this kind of service a regular rhythm in the life we are building together, laying that foundation early.
