At the age of 16, I felt the Lord place a strong pull on my heart for the Nations. I knew that this was not just an emotion or a feeling, but I knew that it was a divine assignment and a calling that God was placing over my life and was something I was going to do for the rest of my life. Since then, I have been on numerous short-term trips and graduated from Southeastern University where I majored in Intercultural Studies. For the last three years, I have been on staff at Victory Church in Lakeland Florida serving as the NextGen Creative Pastor working with youth and young adults in a number of different ministry areas. 

Now, I will be serving with King’s Castle Brazil in the Amazon. King’s Castle is a ministry focused on reaching and discipling children and youth and developing them to be ministers of the Gospel at an early age. There are nearly 1 million indigenous people living in the Amazon Rainforest and 80% of these interior jungle communities have ZERO church presence. With 306 indigenous groups living in the region, nearly half of them are unreached... these are people who have NEVER heard the name of Jesus! Our goal is to provide new, previously unreached believers with a strong biblical foundation and ministry training, coupled with practical life skills, so that they can in turn carry the gospel to others in surrounding areas. Because the Amazon needs to know Jesus!
