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 with the 6 Degree Initiative, coming alongside Deaf leaders in Togo, Benin, and beyond. Through relationships, leadership development, resource sharing, and partnership, I help create opportunities for Deaf leaders to lead, disciple, and strengthen ministry within their own communities and for Deaf and hearing communities to work together more effectively to see the Great Commission fulfilled.

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.
