I came to Tampa with one goal in mind, to be trained up and then sent out into the four corners of the world and minister The Gospel of Jesus Christ. I have such a love for people and a desire to see them forever changed by The Fire of God, and want nothing more than to be a vessel God can use to reach a lost and dying generation.

My life would be absolutely purposeless without walking in his calling. That being said I came here hungry and willing to do whatever it takes to get to that place.

Within these past 3 weeks God has already given me a completely new mindset. I walk past people and see them differently than I ever have before. They’re no longer just a face in a crowd, but someone with a soul that I long to know if they know Jesus.

The bible says in 2 Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

God doesn’t want anyone to die, and I truly believe he has spared people in order for them to see His Grace, repent from their sins, experience His mercy, and find redemption through His blood. And we are the tools he will use to reach those who need that very thing.

God’s also reignited a new fire on the inside of me. Pastor Todd called me out one morning and I have never felt The Fire of God the way I did in that present moment. I literally was consumed from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet in The Fire of God.

He took me to a place where it was just Him and I and He spoke to me the clearest I’ve ever heard Him. He spoke to me on specific things I have been believing for and told me that He would give me my hearts desires as long as I fixed myself on Him. He told me my life is not my own, but His to give. He gives me breath, and with that breath I must proclaim His good news and go where he tells me to go, do what he tells me to do.
