Hello friends! Thank you so much for your consideration in financially supporting me in my ministry! If you don't already know, I have been serving with a missions organization called YWAM for the past four years. I staffed, discipled and taught within the School of Worship in Kona for two years and am now working towards transitioning to YWAM Amsterdam where I will be working with a pioneering ministry called YMA that will be writing, recording and releasing songs that showcase and partner with God's heart for the nations.

Another large part of my ministry is with my band, "Birdies". We are a group of three singer/songwriters that were commissioned out from the School of Worship in Kona to write, record and release original music. Our heart is to write songs for those in our generation who don't find typical Worship/Contemporary Christian Music accessible or relatable. Our mission is to write songs about the full experience of walking with the Lord; the struggles and trials but also the beauty and joy. We are storytellers that have a deep heart for embedding biblical truth into our lyricism while also acknowledging the most vulnerable parts of our own humanity in hopes that it would shift people's perspective of what it truly looks like to live for God. To listen to our music you can find us (Birdies) on any major streaming platform!

I strongly believe that music and storytelling is not only a medium for self-expression, but more importantly a tool from the Lord that creatives in the church should be utilizing to see people from all walks of life come together and to see hearts transformed through the connective nature of music. The end goal of missions is to see God worshipped in every nation, tribe and tongue but until the nations have a right understanding of who He is, we will not see this goal reached! Your support helps not only me but countless others who have committed their lives to seeing the Great Commission fulfilled.

In YWAM, I serve as a full-time volunteer which means I live exclusively off of the generosity of others. Since I am applying for a visa to live in the Netherlands, I am required by the Dutch government to have proof of 1,400 Euros/month in support. This comes out to roughly $1,600 USD/month. As you are prayerfully considering to either join my monthly support team or give a one-time donation, here is what the money will be used for...

- Housing/Rent

- Food

- Transportation (flights & bike)

- Studio costs (recording, mixing & mastering for Birdies)

- Savings

- Giving! (with this monthly goal I will be able to financially support other missionaries as well)

Over the past four years, I have been amazed by the Lord's faithfulness in providing finances. If you feel it on your heart to give, thank you so much for your generosity and willingness to partner with the vision that the Lord has placed on my heart through finances and prayer!
