Thank you for visiting my page! I’m excited to share how God is working in my life and how you can partner with me in reaching athletes at Texas State University with the Gospel.
I compete in Cross Country and Track & Field at Texas State, and my journey as an athlete has been instrumental in shaping my faith. When I first joined the team, I was the only Christ-follower. But God gave me a passion to reach my teammates, share the love of Jesus, and make disciples. Over time, I’ve seen Him move—teammates coming to faith and growing in Christ. That desire has now expanded beyond my team; I want to see a Christ-follower on every team, in every sport, in every country.
Since the beginning of 2024, I’ve been involved with Athletes in Action (AIA), serving on the Core Team to disciple athletes and equip them to share their faith. This coming year, I’ll be working part-time with Texas State AIA, in partnership with Venture, a movement within the athletic department focused on developing and sending out Christian leaders in sports. Through this role, I’ll continue mentoring and discipling athletes and equipping them to multiply their faith while also preparing for my long-term calling to global missions.
Why athletes? Because their platform extends far beyond sports. As they grow in faith, they can influence their teams, communities, and even the nations. This role is also preparing me for the future, as my future spouse and I feel called to global missions in the 10/40 window. Working with athletes from diverse backgrounds now is invaluable training and experience for cross-cultural ministry, as I continue to pursue God’s calling on my life.
Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me—through prayer or financial support? Your support will help me continue discipling athletes and equipping them to share Christ and His love with the world.
Please reach out with any questions. I’d love to connect with you.
