Latest Update

As most of you know I have spent the last 2 years in my hometown, Whittier, CA. Although it was through a turn of unexpected events that I came to be here, I have been extremely grateful for all the wonderful opportunities to serve God and serve others while here. By God's grace I've had the privilege of serving as a leader/mentor at my former high school, Whittier Christian. In addition, I was able to rejoin the congregation at My (New) Friends House church. I've reconnected with several people I had lost contact with over the years, re-established important ties, and built many significant new ones. As I look back on this season I often think how I never would have chosen this for myself, however, I have a deep sense of joy and appreciation to the Lord for choosing this path for me.

Even though I am grateful to be home my heart is truly to serve the Lord in other parts of the world-whether short term or long term. Recently, an opportunity has presented itself to work with a Masters Commission team in Brazil. During this time I will be engaged in full-time ministry, networking with local churches and partnering organizations, while gaining a heart for world-wide evangelism.


Masters Commission Brazil is a training program based in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and is on the verge of expanding to other parts of South American, as well as, other parts of the world. The program specializes in reaching out to the street kids of local slums, ministering in orphanages and brothels, while encouraging local churches to help those who are hurting in their communities. They partner with organizations, such as Youth With a Mission (YWAM), International Justice Mission (IJM), The Dream Project, Hope Unlimited, and Rahab House, Cambodia.

I am very excited about what lies ahead in this new season of my life. By following my blog you will be able to come on this journey with me!
