May 2025 - Sailing, Training, and Transformation

May was an incredible month. God has been up to so much. Watch this video to find out more. 

Sailing South: From San Francisco to Mexico

What an incredible month May has been! I had the amazing opportunity to sail from San Francisco down the Pacific coast to Mexico—an unforgettable adventure filled with God’s beauty and presence. The journey took us along breathtaking coastlines, deepened friendships, and included countless moments of awe as we saw the Lord’s hand in both the challenges and the joys of life at sea.

Training More Seamen: The SONS School

But this trip wasn’t just about the adventure—it was about missions. We brought the boat down to Mexico to be used for training this summer. YWAM Ships Corpus Christi is running a School of Navigation and Seamanship (SONS) in Ensenada, Mexico, during the summer months. The SONS is a YWAM program focused on training and certifying YWAMers in practical sailing skills. I’ll be serving as staff with the training program from mid-June through mid-September.

SONS equips students to confidently crew and lead on boats being used to reach isolated coastal communities with the gospel and practical aid. I’m excited for what God will do in and through these students—and honored to be part of investing in the next generation of missionaries on the water.

The Road Ahead: Moving to Corpus Christi

After SONS wraps up, I’ll return to Florida to pack up my belongings and begin the next chapter of the journey—a move to Corpus Christi, Texas, where I’ll be joining YWAM Ships Corpus Christi. This is something I’ve been working toward for over a year and a half. I’m so excited about the vision God has given us and that He’s led me to partner with this team to take the gospel to some of the most isolated places on our planet.

Health as a Ministry: What God’s Been Doing

Over this past year at home, God has been working deeply in me, bringing restoration in every area of my life—but especially in my physical health. I had reached a point where I knew that if I wanted to continue running the race He’s called me to, I needed to make serious changes. Through His grace and many intentional steps, I’ve experienced real breakthrough and transformation in my health.

In that process, God led me to become a health coach—not to replace my work with YWAM, but to come alongside it. I believe this is part of my calling: to help others in the body of Christ care for their bodies so they can sustain the work God’s called them to for the long haul.

Partnering in Prayer

Thank you for your continued prayers, encouragement, and support. I truly couldn’t do this without you, and I’m so grateful for the community of people walking with me through every season.

Here are a few ways you can be praying with me right now:

• 🙏 For the SONS School – Pray for the students and staff as we prepare to launch. Ask for unity, spiritual hunger, and a strong sense of calling in each person involved. Please also pray for me—for wisdom, confidence, and clarity as I step into this role of training the students.

• 💸 Financial Provision – I’m trusting God to provide for the travel, outreach, and living expenses of the summer and upcoming move to Texas.

• ⚓ Safety and Protection – Pray for physical safety and health for everyone involved in the SONS school as we train both in the classroom and on the water.

• 🧭 Health Coaching Ministry – Pray for wisdom as I learn to integrate this into my ministry. Ask God to draw the right people and to bless this work for long-term fruitfulness.

• 🏡 Future Transitions – Please pray for grace and clarity as I plan my move to Corpus Christi. I need wisdom for timing, logistics, and housing as I prepare to settle into a new season of life and ministry.

Thank you again for standing with me. I’m excited for what’s ahead and honored to have you as part of this journey!
