Last months on staff | February and March 2025

In 2024, I had the opportunity to take two survey trips to different parts of the Middle East to seek God’s will regarding where He would have me go to learn the Arabic language and culture. While Egypt seemed like a possibility due to its affordability, the dialect and culture differ significantly from the Gulf countries, where God has burdened my heart. Additionally, Egypt presents more uncertainty with visa options and fewer opportunities for sustainable financial support.

After much prayer, counsel, and discussion with my pastor, the deacons, and fellow missionaries, I am excited to share the next steps God has opened for me.

On April 16th, I will be leaving to Beirut, Lebanon to assist Noah George and his ministry there. During this time, I will have the chance to build valuable connections and gain firsthand insight into ministry strategies and cultural adaptation. This will also give me the opportunity to learn from Noah and explore potential future ministry partnerships.

Following my time in Beirut, I will travel to Dubai. My plan is to stay for several months, immersing myself in the culture, building relationships, and seeking the Lord’s direction regarding whether to remain in Dubai long-term or spend time in Saudi Arabia before making further decisions on my next steps.

My Goals During This Time: Learn Arabic fluently to minister effectively. Understand Gulf and Muslim culture to build meaningful connections. Seek God’s direction for future ministry locations and opportunities. Share the gospel with those I encounter. Teach and disciple believers already in contact with missionaries. Establish business connections to create sustainable avenues for ministry. I deeply value your prayers and support as I move forward with this calling. I am trusting the Lord to open doors, provide guidance, and bear fruit for His glory.

Romans 15:20 “Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.”

Please pray specifically for:

God’s protection and provision during travel. Divine appointments with open hearts. Clarity and wisdom in discerning the next steps. Strength and effectiveness in language learning. Thank you for your faithfulness, encouragement, and prayers. I am excited to see how God will work through this next chapter of ministry.

1 Thessalonians 5:24 “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.”
