Location: Davao City, Philippines
Region: Southeast Asia
I am serving one of the language communities of the Philippines (dispersed geographically throughout the southern Philippines) as a literacy and education specialist… learning language, developing relationships, looking for ways to support and build up educators within the language community, working on research for a graduate degree, and trying to love people well. I find it hard to balance all of these things, but I’m thankful for the richness and variety of my life and work here! I’m also in a serious, long-distance relationship and we are seeking the Lord about when we might marry and how to merge our lives. Right now, the future holds a lot of uncertainty and the day-to-day is challenging me mightily. In short, I need the Lord Jesus!
