After serving on short-term mission trips in Africa following college, I began to sense God calling me into long-term ministry among marginalized communities. Through these experiences, the Lord especially burdened my heart for the global Deaf community—one of the largest unreached people groups in the world. Though Deaf individuals are often overlooked or excluded within society, God deeply values every person as one created in His image.

Today, I serve as the Deaf Ministry Catalyst for Togo and Benin with the 6 Degree Initiative. From the United States and through regular travel to West Africa, I work alongside Deaf leaders, local churches, and ministry partners to strengthen leadership development, expand access to Sign Language education and discipleship resources, and support sustainable, Deaf-led ministry initiatives.

I desire to see Deaf communities in Togo and Benin transformed by the Gospel through empowered Deaf leaders who are equipped to disciple, teach, and reach others within their own communities.

Please consider partnering with this ministry through prayer and financial support as together we work to see Deaf communities in Togo and Benin meet, know, and follow Jesus.

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” -Proverbs 31:8-9

Togo and Benin are known as the voodoo capital of the world. Between these two countries, there are about 150,000 Deaf people.
