My
Hearts
Mission
I am passionate about human rights and revolutionizing the ideals of charity and giving through being a hand up, not just a hand out!
I am radically obsessed with empowering today’s generation to be catalyst for their communities as leaders who are equipped with the education and tools they need to succeed while inspiring others to do the same.
World Missions Outreach and Feeding the 5000 provide 15,000 meals a day, 5.4 million meals a year, over 92 million meals total, founded 3 three schools, full ride college scholarships to high school graduates, created a pastoral coalition, and operate 60 community outreach programs,
My goal is to share the wisdom I have gained on and off a life on the mission field, so others can also step into their full potential of living and serving with intentional purpose.
I always knew that the work that God is doing through my families ministry and mission would be part of my life, but I didn't realize that it would soon become my life! I am humbled and grateful to serve on the mission field and live a life of purpose that is worth living.
Are you ready to step into you full potential and answer the call that God has placed on your heart to serve? Stop waiting and take your leap of faith with us!
