Originally from Ontario, but currently living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, I have been serving in leadership in churches for 13 years. I have served in a number of volunteer roles, as well as on staff as youth and worship pastor in different churches. Currently, I spend my time brewing coffee at a local coffee shop, where I find myself at home in ministry - brushing shoulders with new people every day, sharing Christ's love through coffee (of course!). I have been passionate about serving in France for eleven years, and am excited to finally see that God-given vision come to fruition!

I will be joining the GEM team in Lyon, France, seeking to serve and minister to university students with the Groupes Biblique Universitaires (GBU). Lyon, with a population of approx. 516,000 people, is is a hub for banking and industry in France, and holds a strong student culture, due to the large number of universities in the city. Despite living in such a spiritually dark place, where only 1% of people identify as Evangelical Christians, young people in France are spiritually hungry, and I am excited to be able to be a part of facilitating an incredible move of the Holy Spirit across Lyon. I am believing for revival in France!
