LOCATION: Bangkok, Thailand

TRANSFORMATIONAL IMPACT: Through meaningful connection, my desire is to reveal the love of Christ with the university students of Bangkok.

MINISTRY FOCUS: I will be living in Bangkok, Thailand and working with Imagine Thailand Foundation under the director, Zachary Wylie, and his team, volunteering in various initiatives involving university students. I will be staying at a dormitory and working with the Student Christian Centre (SCC), various churches, coffee shop partners, English corner, and sports and games events, as a means of connecting personally with these university students in Bangkok. I desire to form meaningful relationships through listening, being a friend to them, and revealing the love and care of Christ, as I hope to also become a student of their culture. I have a passion for building relationships with people and understanding their lives, and I hope to use this as a way to influence people to grow in their knowledge of Christ. 

YOUR IMPACT: Through your partnership, I will be launched into ministry in a cross-cultural setting, ministering to university students in Bangkok. 

MINISTRY HISTORY: I grew up in a Christian home on the island of Trinidad and Tobago, where I served in various capacities in children's ministry and administration. As I grew in my love for people and understanding what intimacy with God looks like, I began to preach in my local young adults group and lead weekly Bible studies with the church congregation, under the leadership and mentorship of my pastor. My mentor pushed and encouraged me to venture into preaching on Sunday mornings and through this I realized my passion for being vulnerable when teaching God's Word and making it personal and practical for living. I never saw myself in a ministry leadership position growing up, as I had hopes of being a criminologist when I moved to Canada to study. However, after following God's powerful call on my life to become a missionary, my desires is to continue to live in obedience and faith wherever God may lead me.
PRAYER REQUEST:
- Prayer for God to continue to humble me and teach me to love His people as He loves me.
- Prayer for people of Thailand to come to know Jesus intimately and prioritize Him. 
- Prayer for open-mindedness and the ability to connect to the Thai people effectively. 
- Pray that I am able to plant seeds and water them in preparation for God to grow them in knowledge and love for Him.
