Victoria YWAM Australia

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm launching my missionary career this summer with YWAM Australia.  But before I share with you about my trip, let me tell you a little about me and my heart.

During the fall of 2014, I went on my first mission trip to Beirut, Lebanon with Akouo Missions and my church. At 13 years of age God ignited something in me: a burning to be used by God. It was on that trip that I found myself.  I found out who I was and what I was made for. On the plane home I remember thinking, “Yes, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.”

That little spark has grown in me today and is now a fiery passion to be the hands and feet of Jesus. To be a vessel in which He can overflow to to bring His glory to the nations.  I am excited to enter into this next chapter of my life.  During the past 9 months the Lord has had me on a journey of sometimes closed doors to lead me to YWAM.  



YWAM Youth With A Mission-Madison serves as a bridge to the nations, in response to the Biblical directive to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Their goal is to offer young people of all nations an opportunity to receive personal encouragement, and promote an atmosphere of love and understanding in a cross-cultural Christian community environment.

But with YWAM opportunities in 181 countries, where would the Lord lead me?  My search for arts and media opportunities lead to AUSTRALIA!  Not where I would have imagined, but I am excited to see what the Lord will do on this trip.


The first part of the trip will be at DTS Discipleship Training School (5 months) and the last month we will go to another country to practice what we have learned.  As a team, during our 5 months, we will pray and seek the Lord for where we will go to serve.  

So back to where this all started, will you join me in making a difference?  My trip is scheduled to start July 6th, 2020.  I only have a few short months to raise the support I need to make all of this a reality.  Most of the support I raise will be handled by YWAM for my training in Australia and the trip to the country we will serve in.  Additional costs I have to pay for are my tickets to Australia and personal expenses. 

I am currently working as many hours I can at Starbucks to help with this effort, but I will need the support of my church, family and friends to cover the entire costs.  Any donation would be a blessing. 


And now the FUN part!
Through your generosity, I get to give back to you!  The Lord blessed me with the gift of painting and art and I would like to share it with you.  I am offering to paint you an original painting of your vision, word for the year, or anything you would like as a way of saying, "Thank you."  Suggested donations for paintings are based on size.  Please use the contact link on my page and leave a detailed description of what you would like and a way for me to contact you.

Painting Size 

9X12--Suggested Donation $100

12X16--Suggested Donation $150

16X20--Suggested Donation $200

Of course feel free to donate any amount, regardless of whether you would like a painting or not.  Any and all amounts will be a blessing.


Thank you for helping me begin this journey around the globe.  Whether you are able to donate or not, I appreciate your prayers for the students at YWAM and the people I have yet to encounter.  Whether on the plane trip there, while in Australia, or another country, I know God will guide my steps and conversations as I move out in faith.
With Him and to Him be all the glory.  Thank you!
