My journey to Africa has been long and has taught me more about God's faithfulness than any experience in my life so far. I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't know that I would one day go to Africa as a missionary. But, what seemed so clear to me at a young age became muddled by bad choices. There was a time when I was lost and had no idea where I would end up. But God is always faithful despite out wandering. After I changed the course of my life and began to truly pursue God again, I thought I had ruined my chance to go serve in Africa. I decided that I would just continue to serve God and hope that He would open a door. And He did.

​

I was asked about joining a project called Urban Tribes the week of my college graduation. I had spent four years studying Music Industry at Evangel University and was struggling to see how I could use that to serve in Africa. When I thought of missions in Africa, I pictured the bush and rural tribal people. Then I heard about Urban Tribes. This project with Assemblies of God World Missions aims to reach people in the urban centers of Africa through avenues such as education, arts and business. After meeting my team leader, I knew this was exactly where God wanted me to be.

In February 2018, I moved to Durban, South Africa and have been on staff at Northplace Church as the Worship Leader. This is just one of many church plants Urban Tribes is doing across Africa. Northplace is growing so much and we are seeing peoples' lives changed everyday. I am so humbled and excited to be a part of this church and all that God is doing here in Durban.
