My walk with Jesus began in my early teens – I came to the personal decision to accept the salvation gift of Jesus and His Lordship over my life in a Sunday School service. This was after one of my Sunday school teachers explained the gospel and I received conviction from the Holy Spirit to turn over my life to Jesus. I loved the things of God and was always filled with joy when fellowshipping with other believers. It was therefore not surprising that I was an active member (and later became President) of the Scripture Union (SU) group in my Senior High School. The solid grounding in the Word I received from my connection to SU carried me through to my time in the university.

While in the university, I had the opportunity to go on short-term mission trips to the Northern and Volta regions of Ghana. Over the last decade, I have also been privileged to serve in an Executive Assistant role within the Lausanne Movement and attended the Lausanne Younger Leaders Gathering in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2016. At this international gathering with participants from over 140 countries, I had in-depth exposure to global missions and my passion for missions was rekindled.

I count it a privilege to have been able to share the gospel with others through my past experiences and feel blessed to share my life with a man who loves and is committed to missions. I am excited about this new phase in our lives and mission journey and I can’t wait to see what the Lord will accomplish through Eternal Footprints Missions.
