After meeting my first missionary when I was 15, I knew that is what I wanted to do with my life. I had no idea how it would happen, but after a long road of education, internships and support team building, I was sent to the Philippines. I served as a church planter and as a children’s ministry coordinator. I served in Thailand for two years at the Santisuk English School. I worked alongside very talented Filipino missionaries. They were very effective in building relationships with Thai students. That was when I realized that I could help prepare Filipinos to use Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). As a faculty member of Baptist Theological College and Cebu Graduate School of Theology (BTC/CGST) since 2001, I have had the privilege of training pastors, teacher and missionaries. I have been a part of the training of missionaries from BSOP (Bethlehem Start of Peace: an organization started by Filipinos to send Filipinos to hard-to-reach nations). BSOP has invited me to be their director of International Training. I now see how the Lord has guided me each step of the way on this challenging journey of following him.  I now work serve alongside some of my students in Bangkok Thailand!

I am currently working with a team of global workers from the Philippines, Thai Christians and volunteer short-termers from the USA.  We are planting a church in a downtown location In Bangkok using teaching English as a way to introduce Thais to Jesus stories.  We spend time with them and invite them to come and see Christian community in action.
