Hello everyone, I am excited to share that I am beginning a new chapter of life and faith through The Journey School, a gap-year study abroad program connected to The Adventures and Missions World Race. This program brings together around 2o or so people to grow in discipleship, community, and leadership while also learning how to integrate business principles with a Kingdom mindset.

For me, this is more than just traveling or studying abroad it’s about stepping into a season where I can deepen my walk with Christ, be challenged in new ways, and discover how faith connects with vocation. One of the things I am most looking forward to is diving into topics like business, leadership, and even emerging fields such as AI. The chance to explore these areas in a Christ-centered environment excites me, because I believe they are shaping the future and offer unique opportunities for Kingdom impact.

What makes this program especially meaningful is the mentorship model. Instead of just learning in a classroom, I’ll have the chance to work closely with a mentor who can guide me as I directly apply what I learn. Being able to put business concepts into practice, receive feedback, and grow in real time is an incredible opportunity I don’t take for granted. It is especially exciting though because we are going to be travelling in the first semester to Italy and Albania to learn both about starting businesses but also again about how to integrate this with God.

Over the coming months, I’ll be using this space to share stories, reflections, and lessons from the journey ahead. My hope is that this blog becomes not just an update for friends and family, but also an encouragement to anyone who may be curious about how God works through ordinary people in extraordinary ways.

Also if you wish to support my by means of a monetary donation then you can do this by navigating to the top right of your screen. Then you click support and once at the new webpage put in a donation amount and click donate.

I can’t wait to see what He has in store. Thank you for walking with me on this journey!
