The last year has been a journey of
faith for me. God has guided and pushed me to things that I would have never
expected. Now, having returned from Arizona and the first Professional Disc
Golf Association National Tour Event for the third year in a row, I am even
more excited about what God is doing in my life and the opportunities that He
is placing before me.
Within the last year God took me from a place where I was
searching for what He wanted me to do to a place where He has given me a clear
direction and an opportunity to make a difference in His kingdom through a
passion that He has given to me. Eagles Wings Disc Golf is in a place with some
incredible staff excited to make an impact. I will get to use the sport of Disc Golf,
which I have grown passionate about over the last seven and a half years, to
grow God's kingdom. It is not just a sport but a growing community of people in
need of a savior.

I have been blessed to be able to come back from Arizona
this year having had a great opportunity to play some disc golf and meet some
incredible new people. I am so blessed to be part of the Eagles Wings Disc Golf team including Dustin, Jim and Hannah who are also so passionate about disc golf and using it to make a kingdom impact. I have been reinvigorated by being in meetings where we discussed the programming that both Dustin and Jim are planning in Pennsylvania and Michigan respectively. I have no doubt that we will be able to reach many current disc golfers and youth through these programs.
In Arizona we were able to host our first chapel service of
the year. We met some new faces and reconnected with others that are supporting
this venture. We were blessed to have many resources including a devotional for
athletes that we plan to use to stay connected with those who attend our chapel
services. We were able to host our service on site at one of the three courses
used for the tournament. Moving forward we are going to have some amazing
opportunities for chapel services this year. We have been
amazed at how people have grasped on to this idea and desire to be part of what
is going on.

With all of this excitement, and through much prayer, I have
recently stepped down from my now previous job with Open Door Ministries. It
was not sure how I was going to be able to say goodbye to the kids that I have
been investing in. It was tough for me to step out and trust in God’s
provision. But I know this is a step that needs to be taken in order to get to
the ministry that God has called me to. I am so excited to get to Pennsylvania
for training by the early part of the summer and to spend time helping Dustin
run some amazing programs. I am curious to learn more
and figure out what program focuses I will have when I return to Colorado. I
think it is simply amazing that I will get to serve God through Eagles Wings
Disc Golf.
Please be praying for this process that I am going through
in raising up a team of partners in this ministry. I am still incredibly
nervous about the process. I still struggle as I learn to trust God more and
more. I am not sure what, when or how this is all going to happen but I am intrigued
to see how God works. I am excited for the story I will be able to tell when I
am temporarily done with this process. I cannot wait to meet the people, some
whom I already know and some who I do not, who will be a partner in this
ministry.
