Testimony: When I was six years old I made a statement, a statement that said I was going to follow Christ… that I would follow him wherever He would lead me. Since I was a child my parents have taught me and shown me God, the Creator of the world, and His Son Jesus Christ. It was not until I was six that I made Jesus the King and Lord of my life!

In 2008 I decided that God was telling me to go on a summer missions trip. I told my parents and they started telling me about Teen Missions. I looked into it and when late June rolled around, I found myself signed up to go to Cameroon. That summer was amazing and totally changed my life. As the new year rolled around my mom asked me if I was thinking of going to Teen Missions again in the summer of 09, but I was not sure if that was what God wanted me to do. After praying and seeking God I soon decided that God did want me to go back to Cameroon with Teen Missions. After the summer of 09, I was going to be in my senior year of High School and I was starting to think about college. I had heard that Teen Missions had a college that was a Bible School. So that summer when I went to Teen Missions, I decided that I would try to find out as much as I could about the Teen Missions Bible school (called BIBLE MISSIONARY & WORK Training Center, or BMW). After the summer, I felt that God was telling me that He wanted me to be a missionary and so I applied to BMW and was soon accepted.

Now that I am here, I plan to use everything that God is teaching me so that I can go into the world and preach the Gospel to all nations.
