Luke
I grew up in a small town of Pennsylvania. God put me in a Christian family that was faithful to church. At the age of seven, I realized that I was a sinner in need of a Savior. I Asked God to forgive me of my sins and put my faith in Jesus to save me from hell. Shortly after, I was baptized by immersion under the authority of our local church.
At the age of 15, I had the privilege of attending a teen rally in North Carolina. After the main message, I surrendered my life to whatever God wants me to do. Immediately, the Holy Spirit put it on my heart to be a missionary to Italy. The Lord later confirmed this calling in my heart and removed any doubts through Colossians 1:5+6. In May of 2024, I graduated from New England Baptist College with a bachelors degree in the study of missions.

I grew up as a Pastor's kid in western Massachusetts. At the age of four, I asked my Dad to explain salvation to me. He helped me to realize that Salvation is only by repentance of my sin and belief in Jesus Christ. That night I received Jesus Christ as my Savior and was baptized soon after!
I had decided for myself that I would never be a pastor's wife or missionary wife due to the hardships I saw. Thankfully, the Lord used Luke to soften my heart. On a Wednesday night, God used Isaiah 6:8 to call me to surrender to missions. From my surrender at seventeen to our candidate training at twenty-one, God still was softening my heart to his will. Helping me to fully surrender to His perfect will.
