Her adult life has been spent serving God in the mission field at home and abroad, specifically in Rwanda and Uganda. Her relationship with Christ has both informed and directed her life decisions that speak of her desire, like Christ, to serve the “least of these” in a way that points them to the love of a God who saves, delivers and sets all captives free. Her hope for her life, is that in any small or great way, the love of God would reach through her and touch those whom she interacts with to the degree that whatever their life circumstances, they come to know and feel the love of God and the sweetness of hope filled friendship. The truth that she lives daily is the belief that in all things and in all ways, whatever circumstances arise, ultimately, “God does all things well.”
