I have been a part time missionary for a little over a year and a half with YWAM (Youth With A Mission), along with studying photography. However, God has not only given me a vision as a part time missionary but a full time missionary photography. He has given me a heart to be in Africa using photography to get His message out to the world. To capture the heart of Africa the way God wants the world to see it and the love that is burning deep within Africa!

God is moving me into the next season in my life right now, from being a part time missionary to a full time missionary. He has really been opening doors for me, leading me towards my long term vision. One of the doors He has opened for me is to do a YWAM course called Photogenx Round the World. It is based out of the Kona, Hawaii YWAM base and run by Paul and Susanne Childers and their staff. The school is from September 27, 2007 to April 2, 2009, where we will be going all around the world doing missions work in addition to learning about world views, the Bible, and photography. During the school we will be going over 11 countries and I will be getting the hands on training to be a full time missionary photographer in Africa.
