I was reached by the bus ministry of Faith Baptist Church of Bourbonnais, IL when I was 6 years old. I started working on the bus in the 6th grade and running doors. In 7th grade, I became a bus worker and entered the youth group in the summer of 2015.
At PILOTS convention in 2021, Pastor Dan Woodward preached "Understanding Your Why". Although the message wasn't directly about salvation, he touched on hell just enough where the Holy Spirit convicted me and told me I needed to be saved. I talked to my youth pastor, Andrew Rardin. He led me to the Lord on March 25, 2021.
I started riding the church bus of Northwest Baptist Church of Toledo, OH with my sisters when I was 3 years old. They stopped riding when I was about 5 or 6, but I kept going. I got involved in the youth group around 16. I went to ski camp (hosted by Pastor Dan Woodward) in 2012. That's where I asked Jesus to come into my heart.
I surrendered to go to Bible college and went to Providence Baptist College in Elgin, IL. I graduated and later became the Kitchen Manager for the college.
