What is your passion for Youth Tour:
I love youth tour because I love seeing people experience the Lord in ways they have not before. Going on a trip together to a foreign country is a unique experience that not everyone gets in their life. The set up that we have for all the players really provides an experience that is special. As a coach, I’m passionate about the ability for the girls to play, but more importantly I’m excited for them to hear from the Lord and to dive deeper into who Jesus is and what he requires of us in this life. I love seeing players remove their identity from soccer and putting it in Christ where it truly belongs. I’m all about people experiencing freedom and true life and joy in knowing their creator and being in deep intentional relationship with him.
