I was born and raised in England and have lived most of my life in the seaside town of Morecambe in Lancashire.
I met Josh and Natalie Troyer while I was studying at Charis Bible College. Once they returned to Ohio, I visited a number of times. During the summer of 2024 I visited for a longer period of time after hearing the Lord tell me He wanted me in Ohio for the whole of that summer. At the time, it wasn't clear to me why that was the case, particularly as I had my whole summer in Colorado already planned! Once I began connecting with people at The Well, the Lord started speaking to me, and I felt like He was asking me to stay in Ohio and trust Him. I felt a resonance with those people in Ohio who were coming out of religion and beginning their discipleship journey with Jesus.
The Well Global Director and I had some conversations about what it could look like for me to return to Ohio as a missionary. We journeyed through a visa process for me to come to the United States and work alongside The Well and The Well Global.
This year, I am working on and growing in understanding of the simple command of loving God and loving others as I love myself. My desire is to come alongside people in The Well community and love and serve them as I deepen in my love for Jesus through relationship with Him. I believe the Lord is speaking to me about "establishment'' this year, and I am seeking Him on what that looks like. I am pretty excited about being in Ohio and all the Lord will do in and through me here. I am a connector and excited about connecting with new people and seeing how all my current connections fit together.
