For as long as I can remember, Moldova has been a place that my church has been intimately involved. My pastors, leaders, friends, and my parents have incredible stories from serving God and watching him move in the small Eastern European country of Moldova. After years of desiring to Go, God has blessed me with the opportunity to serve in Moldova this summer with Justice and Mercy International. Now, with my dad working on staff at JMI, this will be my first opportunity to go on an international mission trip with him. 

My call in life, especially as I prepare for college and future career, is to serve the children who often go overlooked. I want to partner with families and kids with disabilities and present the Gospel to them in a tangible way. I want to help churches make ministry more applicable and accessible to those families. I have heard countless stories about the kids in Moldova, and I know there will be so many opportunities to serve vulnerable kids and understand even more about my calling. I am so excited to go be a part of what God is doing over there and so thankful for any amount of support that will make this trip possible.
