"It is hard to express in words all that the Lord has done in my life through Aliyah Ministry, but I’ll try. For many years, I had the privilege of serving the Lord through Called Ministry, taking the gospel to countless countries and people from all walks of life. Yet, in 2020, as the world shut down due to COVID, my life came to an unexpected standstill. Returning to my hometown of Winnsboro, Texas, I had no idea how the Lord would use that season to draw me into deeper places of both my need and the freedom He longed for me to know. It was during this time that God began a new work in my heart, calling me into greater intimacy with Him than I had ever known before. In His kindness, He brought people into my life for weekly gatherings, and among them was Stefanie. From the moment she shared how God had transformed her life and was leading her into deeper freedom, the Lord began stirring something within me. As Stefanie taught about strongholds, soul ties, rejection, and shame, the Holy Spirit gently revealed the walls I had unknowingly built between myself and God. He invited me into a process of heart-searching, as spoken of in Psalm 19 and 139, asking the hard questions that would lead me into freedom from lies I had believed for far too long. Even after years of serving in ministry, a subtle lie of self-sufficiency had crept into my heart—the thought that “I’m good.” But through these teachings, God began to uncover hidden places in my heart that I didn’t even know needed His healing touch. This journey, though difficult, became one of the greatest adventures of my life as God used Aliyah Ministry to awaken a hunger for deeper transformation through His Word and Spirit.When Aliyah Ministry was founded in 2021, I felt a profound calling to come alongside Jason and Stefanie in their mission. With an open heart, I stepped into the role of director of missions, forging connections between Aliyah and outreach organizations around the globe, including Called Ministry. This role has allowed me to blend my passion for the nations with a newfound joy of seeing the body of Christ walk in greater freedom. One of the most beautiful aspects of this journey has been the way the Lord continues to reveal His truth—not just for me, but for others as well. The strongholds He has broken in my own life have opened doors for rich conversations with people locally and internationally, sparking a desire in them to experience the same freedom. What God is doing through Aliyah Ministry is far bigger than me. It’s about pointing people back to intimacy with Jesus, back to the relationship we were created for, so that we can walk out His purposes for our lives in freedom and truth. Walking this path with Aliyah Ministry has given me a deeper experience of Jesus than I ever imagined possible. The truth of God’s Word has not only transformed my mind but has taken deep root in my heart, setting me free from long-held lies. I know my life will never be the same. Each step with Aliyah has been a journey into greater intimacy with the Lord, with no walls standing between us. What a gift it is to walk in this freedom—not just waiting for heaven, but experiencing the joy of daily communion with Jesus and stepping into the unique calling He has for my life."
