Summary
Compassionate and focused on furthering the kingdom through children and youth ministry. I have been in camp ministry for the last 15 months, went through internships, and have lead small groups at my hometown church. I am very determined to complete tasks and love learning new skills. During my time in camp ministry I have worked for kids ministry (6-12) program, a retreats team and a youth ministry (12-18) program. I want to experience new opportunities in ministry and help them grow.
