Summary

I grew up in a loving Christian family, learning the gospel from an early age and being inspired by missionary stories like that of George Mueller. Yet, as I grew older, a painful divorce and the security of a successful career as a pharmacist left me questioning my future. My brother’s invitation to join a medical mission trip sparked a passion that changed everything. I ultimately chose to leave behind the prospect of a comfortable retirement and instead use my resources to fund mission work in Africa. By training local farmers in innovative, self-sustaining methods and funding projects with my own retirement savings, I now live a counter-cultural lifestyle dedicated to serving vulnerable communities and sharing the gospel. My journey is a testament to trusting God’s guidance and stepping out in obedience for His glory.
