Becoming a follower of Jesus in my youth gave an openness to following God’s will no matter where that took me. My 12-year experience as a high school teacher and participation in a wide range of Christian ministries, gave me a passion to help people learn new things about themselves, the world around them and ultimately about God.
Seeing people make these new discoveries has kept me inspired in my 25 year career as a missionary with One Mission Society. I firstly worked in Russia for 10 years where I was involved in assisting teachers implement a Christian school curriculum, church planting and teaching English at the Moscow Evangelical Christian Seminary. In 2009 I moved to Ukraine to join a team that used English language to connect with Ukrainian young adults and introduce them to Jesus and a life of discipleship. My connections with Estonia began in the mid 2000’s as I led seminars in south Estonia, Ralpa and Tallinn with the goal of helping Estonians develop small groups and plant new churches.
