I hope this update finds you well! September has been a whirlwind of activity and holds some truly monumental things. Read on to hear more and know how you can be praying for and with me over the next few weeks.


Watch this video to hear about my September and witness some of how God is moving in Cuba, as well as pictures/video from the SONS school.

Celebrating 30 Years in Missions

This month marks 30 amazing years of serving full-time with YWAM! What an adventure! God has taken me to 54 nations, opening doors to shine His light to the lost and encourage His church. He has been so faithful every step of the way. I’m so grateful I said “yes” to His call, and it isn’t over yet. I believe the best is still to come!


YWAM Orlando, where I served for over 21 years, is also celebrating their 30th anniversary. I look forward to joining their celebration in October before heading to Texas.



⚓ School of Navigation & Seamanship

We just wrapped up the SONS program I was leading in Mexico with a beautiful graduation. Our students spent 12-weeks in both classroom and hands-on training aboard M/V Glory Bound. They worked hard, grew in confidence, and learned so much. It was a privilege to walk with them and see them step into all God has for them.

🇨🇺 Cuba Trip

Upon returning from Mexico, I went straight to Cuba, which was somewhere I’ve wanted to go to for years. The people there are hungry for God and eager to grow in their faith. We encouraged local believers and witnessed the Spirit moving in powerful ways. Their resilience and passion deeply inspired me. Please continue to pray for this nation and all God is doing there.

🚐 Moving to Corpus Christi

Big changes ahead! At the end of October, I’ll be relocating from Florida to Corpus Christi, TX to join the team at YWAM Ships. I plan to depart around October 28 and arrive the first week of November. I’m excited for this new chapter, but there are many details to sort out before I go. Your prayers are greatly appreciated!



🙏 Prayer Points

Thank you so much for standing with me in prayer and support! I’d love your prayers in these areas as I move through this next month:


  • For the SONS graduates to step boldly into what God has for them next

  • For believers in Cuba to stay strong and for God’s Spirit to continue moving mightily

  • For my upcoming move: safe travel, wisdom for logistics, the right home and car, and a smooth transition into life and ministry at YWAM Ships Corpus Christi

  • For God’s continued provision and guidance in this season of new beginnings
