At an early age, I admitted that I was a sinner and needed to receive Jesus as my Savior from sin. I prayed and accepted Him as my Only Hope of Heaven. At a camp at the age of 9, I promised God that I would do anything He wanted me to do and go anywhere He would send me.
After high school while working as a camp counselor, I met missionaries headed for Togo, West Africa. They invited me to teach their children on the mission field after I finished college, but I refused because I had my own plans for my life. During the next few years, God in His mercy showed me that His plans are for my good and for His glory.
After my junior year in college, I had the privilege of going on a short-term trip to Togo. After teaching in the states for 2 years, God granted me the gift of serving Him by ministering to the beautiful Togolese people, and it has been 11 of the most wonderful years of my life!
