I am 17 years old and live in Mount Nebo, West Virginia. I live with both of my parents, and I have one older sister who last summer went to Ireland on a mission trip. I love to play guitar, ride dirtbikes, and just be outdoors. I graduate from high school in May, and going to major in pre-dental. I grew up in church, but it wasn’t until a year or so ago that I really began having a relationship with God. He has showed me that no matter what I’m going through, He is always there to comfort me. I now realize that no matter what I have done He still loves and cares for me. In June of ’08 is when God really got ahold of me and called me to the mission field. God has done so many awesome things in my life, not only that, but now I play guitar in our praise and worship team at church. I am in the best youth group ever!!! We are like one big family, we are always there for each other, and help each other when we’re down. We also have the best youth leaders anyone could ask for. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for everyone on this trip! I know that I wouldn’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for God’s grace.
“According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” ~Philippians 1:20-21
