I grew up near Listowel, Ontario. I got saved at a young age and have been so blessed to have known God for most of my life, especially through some tough teen years. After high school, I attended Word of Life Bible Institute in Owen Sound, ON, and stayed on to intern for two more years. I discovered there how much I enjoy working with youth and how huge the spiritual needs are here in Canada, including people who have never heard a clear message of the gospel. Through another missionary’s testimony, God challenged my heart toward the Indigenous peoples in Canada. I knew that I needed training and a team to work alongside. I was excited to find out that Ethnos was planning to reach Canada’s Indigenous peoples, so I signed up for Ethnos’ training program, from which I graduated in December 2022. It was an incredible year and a half of practical training and personal spiritual growth with God reminding me that he is faithful and trustworthy. I am planning, Lord willing, to join Team Arctic and head north in February 2025 to study the Inuit culture and language.
