Testimony:
I got saved at camp in 8th grade. That’s when God made sense to me, being outside and being ridiculously silly! His Spirit has created a new heart in me. From selfish and grumpy, to joyful and servant. I told God that wherever He is, that’s where I want to me. So I served at church and camp every opportunity I could. Eventually leading to ministry school. Working for a church in Ann Arbor. Following the calling summer camp ministry calling God gave Tim and I. God has never left us, he always leads and provides because that’s who He is!

Testimony:
God has been drawing me to follow him at a young age. In 2007 at Prairie Camp, I heard the message of the Gospel at 10 years old and accepted Jesus into my heart. Ever since then God has filled me with a passion to serve my community by volunteering in children’s ministry. Jesus has been growing and healing my heart. I paused my college education, he told me to apply to be a Registered Behavior Technician at Logan Center. I loved each and every one of the children there. The experience gained from working with children who have Autism and other mental and physical handicaps is one I will never forget. However, I once again hear the Father calling me elsewhere. This time to work with Tim and Sara Welsh in building camp! It is so humbling and wonderful to me that Jesus has chosen us to help raise up a new generation of disciples in such a way that they use their gifting in years to come for the sake of the Gospel.
