Testimony: I was born and raised in a Christian home. I was saved at the age of six at First Baptist Church of Winter Haven. I did not make my faith my own until I was in high school. Prior to that I felt as though I was living my parents’ faith. In high school is when I re-dedicated my life to Christ. I received the call to full time ministry during my first year at Polk Community College while interning at a local church in Winter Haven. Since my call to full time ministry, I have recognized that my mission is to cultivate students to have a hunger to know Jesus Christ and His Word through worship, fellowship, and discipleship.
