Welcome to my page!
Thank you for visiting! Here you can read more about the amazing things God does in and through us. Make sure you stay up to date by subscribing to our weekly newsletter.
We have been serving God in missions since 1999 and with Overland Missions since 2008. It is an adventure that we won't exchange for anything. My passion within Overland Missions is the LIFE Project. Children are an important part of God's kingdom and if we can lead them into a relationship with Jesus Christ, we have gained a whole generation.
I am a fulltime mom to our four children and a homeschool teacher to about ten. I love my life in Zambia and am thankful that God called me here. What a privielege!!
From the perspective of eternity, whatever it takes to get your attention, is worth it!
