Fuller Theological Seminary
Scholarship Class: 2020

“My hope is to serve overseas in ministry with Muslims and Believers from Muslim Backgrounds. This passion was sparked for me from a young age during my childhood in Kenya. While our primary ministry was with the Kikuyu and Masai people that we lived in proximity with, we also came in contact with a large population of Muslims, as they were drawn to the hospital on our station. I became fascinated by their beliefs and devotion to Allah, and found it so tragic that such dedication and spiritual passion was misdirected. Over the years, throughout my personal studies, college years, and seminary classes, my desire to serve as a witness to the Muslim world has continued to grow, and I am currently prayerfully exploring options to invest in the Muslim world to some capacity in the future once I conclude my studies.”
