I have served Partners in Compassionate Care since 2011, first as an advisory board member and then on the Board of Directors. I made my first trip to South Sudan in 2012 and then returned again in 2015. I work closely with my local ministry partner in ministering to the women in the greater Bor region.
I am currently a fund development officer at Kuyper College in Grand Rapids, MI and together with my husband, Dan, am an appointee with Pioneers preparing for the field in 2016. We plan to re-open an abandoned school as a Christian boarding school. The school is located just 1.5km from Memorial Christian Hospital where we've served these past years.
