My Beloved Friends & Family, What's Up!!!

Since 2016, I’ve had the honor of serving on mission trips worldwide. From the Philippines, Mexico, South Africa, Egypt, to Cote d’Ivoire, God is truly moving in the nations! Never did I imagine stepping into FULL-TIME MISSIONS… Now, here I am, living in Brazil and walking out the wildest journey with Jesus!

Since May 2024, I’ve been volunteering at Instituto Sonhe in Cracolândia, São Paulo. I have fallen in love with serving the children, supporting the community, and getting involved in front-line ministry. Recently, my heart has been stirred to take a deeper step and get involved with an organization to fight against sex trafficking. I am currently building contacts to safely and effectively start this work. I believe God is leading me into this space for His justice and healing for the people He loves.

My eyes are still set on the long-term vision God has placed in my heart to open a "Dwelling Place," a home where I will house women and children who are widowed, orphans, missionaries in transition, people experiencing homelessness, and anyone who needs a place. This will be a safe space of excellence, love, and community, where we will share meals and have prayer nights together.

To continue doing this vital work, I need to raise $2,300 monthly. The down payment to open the Dwelling Place in about two years ($1,300 per month) and my personal expenses such as my rent and groceries. Your support, whether through finances and prayers, means EVERYTHING to me and will directly impact lives here in Brazil. God has called me to open a transition home for the broken, and I know this is just the beginning of His plan.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Let's see miracles happen together!

“I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then I said, ‘Here I am! Send me.’” —Isaiah 6:8
