I’m here because God called me—and I chose to be obedient to that call. I was deeply inspired by the powerful personal stories shared by last year’s Work & Witness team. That experience opened my eyes to the healing that happens when we share our stories and truly listen to one another. It stirred something in me and made it clear that I want to be here full-time, making a lasting impact in people’s lives.

Camp Maranatha is a place of healing, restoration, and building relationships. It’s a space where people can encounter God’s peace, mend broken hearts, and experience unity through shared faith and community. I want more people to experience that kind of peace.

God has given me a background in construction and building, and I believe this is where I can use those skills to help further His Kingdom. I love teaching practical skills that others can take into their daily lives—and even to future mission trips around the world.

My role here is to help build up the camp, take care of maintenance and day-to-day repairs, and make sure this place remains a welcoming, peaceful setting where people can meet with God. I see myself as an extension of John and Joey’s mission to build the Kingdom—and my heart is fully here, committed to that purpose.
