My journey began in my teenage years when God planted in me a deep desire to travel and reach people in foreign nations. However, I didn’t fully step into this calling until I was nearly 40 years old.

In early 2014, I spent time on the mission field in Latin America. Then, in June of that same year, I went on my first short-term mission trip to Estonia. God used that trip to firmly plant Estonia—and the Estonian people—deep in my heart. I fell in love with the country, and there was no looking back.

Since 2014, I’ve returned 3-4 times every year to serve at camps for underprivileged children and Keila Baptist Church in northern Estonia. In the northwest region of the country, we’ve identified 39 towns and villages that currently have no church presence. I am now working alongside pastors from the Estonian Church Union to help bring the Gospel to these unreached areas.
