Summary

I have been undoubtedly called into Children's Ministry. The Lord has placed so much fulfillment and passion in my heart into helping kids, prepping for events, and working with others to better build His Kingdom. With a passion to be the hands and feet of Jesus as Romans 10:15 puts it, I want to build my ministry experience and continue to obey Christ in the call He's graciously put in my life.
