The Environmental Protection Agency claims the average American produces about 4.4 pounds of garbage a day, 29 pounds per week & 1,600 pounds a year. No, we’re not trying to make you feel guilty. In fact, Americans are not the #1 garbage producer in the world…

But consumer culture makes it all too easy to take the priceless & treat it as if it were meant merely to be used up then thrown on the trash heap. In our new series we let God’s Word teach us how to treasure what truly matters & show that family, marriage, our bodies, time & income are so much more than Disposable.

My Spiritual Journey:

I was raised knowing about Jesus and God’s love for me. I went to a private school, youth group, mission trips, but it was not until I was in my freshmen year of college I felt challenged to be in a deeper personal relationship with Jesus – the kind that made Him the priority in my life. It was then that I prayed and asked Jesus to be my Lord, Savior and best friend.

How I Ended Up at UBC:

I was working as a Youth Director at another church here in Miami when I met my husband John. He introduced me to UBC. I then met the UBC Student Ministry staff and began partnering with them in youth ministry projects. After my husband and me married in 2001 a position in Student Ministry opened up here at UBC and I have been here ever since.

What I do:

I love what I do. I get to seek the Lord and join God in His work all the while working alongside an incredible staff team. I get to watch wonderful adult and teen volunteers love, sing, rock, play and teach children how much Jesus loves them. I get to connect with Preschool parents as they welcome their new baby and learn all the wonderful things about being a parent.

Dream for UBC:

That as people would meet Christ and grow deeper in relationship with Him within the unique multinational UBC community. They would be equipped to take that love and that relationship to friends and family into all the nations.

What I love about UBC: I love the UBC community where people genuinely love, care, and invest in me and my family.

Before UBC I was....

A youth director here in Miami for 5 years.

Hobbies:

Going boating with friends, doing arts and crafts with my kids, dating my husband, and enjoying outside adventures with my family.
