By trying not to be judgmental of people that I may disagree with, while at the same time, standing for truth. By being empathetic to where people are at or what they are going through, but also gently pointing them in the right direction – sometimes more by actions than words.

Well everything that God has put on my heart to do for “ministry” is about creating hope. Its creating the need to have hope and to ability to look at our situation and see that God loves and has purpose so I can embody hope and live it out everyday

I can see myself extending grace and igniting hope when I’m at youth group in Eston. Its a place where they can be themselves, and experience Jesus. I love having the opportunity to meet them where they are at. Most of them are not saved, and so the opportunity to show grace when they feel like they’ve slipped up or failed is always there. I want them to know that Eston is not the beginning and end. I want them to know they are loved and can be free from all the burdens they are carrying.

As a staff and part time student at Eston College my main community is the student body and the town of Eston. This year we set goals with the student leadership team on ways we can serve and love on the town both partnering with EFGC but also just with members of the town. These goals were practical things that so far we are achieving. With outreach trips every 3 weeks our community has also grown and extended into other towns and provinces. I believe my roles in accomplishing those two visions is by just asking Jesus how to love people well myself within the students and sparking intentional conversation where I can pour encouragement and love onto them, and also in my walks/errands around town doing the same of the townies. My second role I believe is also in discipling the young women here at the college so that they will do they same both in town and in their travels this year.
