“You do it!” were the words I heard from the Lord in 1992. I was at the altar crying out to God to send someone to my university to do a Bible study and support us as students. As a relatively new Christian, I was hungry for God and saw a great need. The Lord called me to meet that need.

All these years later, that ministry is still thriving. That was the beginning of what I found to be a call to ministry, missions and the university. Since then, I have worked with university students and young adults in the US (where I was born), Venezuela, Spain and New Zealand. In 1998 I went into full-time vocational ministry and in 2000 began working in missions. As a missionary, I first went to Venezuela, pioneering a university group for a local church, and then to Spain between 2001-2011 working in Madrid and Sevilla with Students For Christ.

In 2011 I married Bruce, a widower with four children. At that time I left vocational ministry, moved to New Zealand and took on the new ministry role of wife and mother. Once the children were old enough, I felt God calling me back into vocational ministry. I began with TSCF in January 2018.
Now all the children are grown. Only one is still at home, the other 3 are married and I have 8 grandchildren. Two of the children met and married Canadians and live in Canada with their families.

My passion is to see students come to Christ, grow in the Lord and fulfil the call He has on their futures
