I was born in Paraguay, South America, and grew up there my whole life. During the time in Paraguay, my parents worked primarily with the indigenous peoples of Paraguay. I lived in a total of five different locations in Paraguay.
Although growing up in Paraguay helped expose me to missions and the needs of people to hear the Word of God and the gospel, I believe God especially used the two years at Ethnos360 Bible Institute to help confirm His leading into overseas missionary work.
Also, God gave me the opportunity to go on a short-term mission trip—an Encounter West Brazil trip in July 2022—and He greatly used this experience to open my eyes again to the need for more missionaries and to renew a passion in my heart to reach the unreached with the gospel. I look forward to seeing how the Lord uses my time at Ethnos Training to prepare me for what He has next for me. May He receive the glory!
