Update Jan 1, 2026

Wow! These last 3 months of lecture phase in Kona, HI were so impactful and God taught me so much as a leader! Jesus taught me deeper vulnerability and humility and truly healed parts of me that I didn’t even know needed healing.

I had a room of seven girls that I got to walk alongside in Hawaii (I miss them all so much) and now I have six amazing girls on my team to disciple! They teach me so much every day and are a blessing from Jesus! 

As most of you know, I’m leading a team with my co-leader Jack right now in Australia and New Zealand! We just got into the field and are starting in Byron Bay, Australia.

We landed Christmas morning here in Byron Bay and have already seen God move in incredible ways! We have seen 5 salvations as a team and 1 physical healing of an ankle!

Byron is an extremely spiritual place with tons of new age, crystals, psychics, etc. The spiritual atmosphere is dark, but Jesus is in this place and is running after the lost. These people seem so far gone, but the lives they live are ones that are searching for peace, love, joy, and fulfillment and we have the answer to everything they are looking for.

The harvest is RIPE and Jesus is ready to pour His glory out.

We are in Byron until January 8th and then we head to Sydney for two and a half weeks. That will conclude our time in Australia and then we will head to New Zealand for the remaining five weeks of outreach! 

I’m beyond excited to see how Jesus moves in the rest of our time here in Byron Bay and am filled with faith for the rest of the locations as well! There are nine total students on the team and genuinely every single one of them are bold evangelists. God is ready to move in power and might!

I will have another update at the end of our time in Byron Bay to testify of what the Lord did! Contact me with any questions you may have! I’d love to chat:)

Thanks for reading:)
