A bit about me

I’m really a little girl from a little place who’s given my little to a great big God, and He, like He will, has made much of it! I come from Cuba City, Wisconsin, and we’re still the Cuba City Cubans (politically-correct mascot-naming has not reached my little rural town). I went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, grew up in my discipleship in Jesus with a campus ministry and an incredible church community, and I set out on this great adventure where my story met the Story of God.

In the summer of 2005, the Lord led me to Kansas City to work with 24-7 Prayer USA. The prayer I’d prayed in Madison for so long was powerfully answered: “Father, I want to do ministry with friends of mine who love prayer.” The Kansas City Boiler Room and the international 24-7 Prayer community have become extended family to me, and I am privileged to adventure with them in extending the Kingdom of God. I constantly find that I don’t want to be anywhere else, doing anything else, with anyone else.

Not only that, but I’ve discovered along the way that God had more in mind for me in Kansas City than I ever imagined! I have grown in confidence in my gifts and abilities, in experience and influence, but more than that, I am becoming rooted and grounded in the Father’s love for me, His daughter. I am receiving His free love and embrace in Christ, and it is changing everything!

For three years in Kansas City, I focused specifically on Campus America, serving university students who were catalyzing extraordinary levels and amounts of prayer among their peers. By March of 2010, however, God made it clear to me that it was time tostep out of all ministry with 24-7 in the U.S., to focus on local leadership within the KC Boiler Room family and to prepare for what He has for me in Asia. Currently, I am rooted in Kansas City as home but I also travel to and from Asia quite frequently. God is wise and good in keeping me in Kansas City to this point, and the healing, training and leadership experience I’m receiving here is equipping me for all that’s to come.

I know that I am in a time of slow transition, a shift from the West to the East, from my today to my future. I am on a journey of trust, and He does not disappoint me!
