Footsteps of Paul - Sponsor a Musician

This summer, I’m honored to travel to Turkey, Greece, and Italy with Equinox Global Missions, retracing the footsteps of the Apostle Paul. I’ll explore historic sites, deepen my understanding of the New Testament, and serve underserved communities through music. I’m also part of the photography team, capturing not only the band’s journey and moments of ministry but also the powerful stories of the people we encounter along the way.

Last year, I had one of the best experiences of my life when I traveled to Chennai, India, with Equinox Global Missions. I was one of the team photographers, and our mission took us all over Chennai—sharing music and the gospel with children, families, and college students in homes, villages, and communities. That journey opened my eyes to how the gospel is received in different cultures and deepened my passion for using photography to tell these amazing stories. Seeing how God moved through our music and message, and witnessing the joy and transformation in the lives we touched, made me realize that photography can be more than just a skill—it’s a way to serve, connect, and share the beauty of God’s work across the world.

But that trip was more than just a mission for me—it was a huge step of faith. Leading up to the trip, I was struggling deeply with anxiety. The thought of traveling so far and stepping out of my comfort zone was overwhelming, and there were moments when I wasn’t sure I could do it. But through that season, the Lord gave me the strength to push through, trust His plan, and take the trip of a lifetime. It wasn’t easy, but by fully relying on Him, I was able to overcome my fears and experience something truly life-changing. That experience not only shaped my faith but also confirmed my calling to use photography to document the work of Equinox Global Missions and tell the incredible stories of those we encounter.

If you ever get the opportunity to travel, serve those who desperately need it, and share what you’re passionate about—take it. You won’t regret it. I’m so grateful for the opportunity the Lord provided and for the courage He instilled in me to overcome my fears. That journey is such a huge part of my story, and I’m excited to continue that journey this summer.

As we travel to Turkey, Greece, and Italy, we will be partnering with Christian missionaries, local churches, and other ministries that are making a lasting impact in their communities. Through these partnerships, we’ll not only share the message of Jesus but also encourage and support those who are faithfully serving in these regions. I’m excited to once again use my camera to capture these powerful moments of collaboration and ministry—helping to tell the ongoing story of God’s work around the world.

Photography is more than a passion for me—it’s my way of serving, learning, and sharing the heart of what God is doing. Being able to combine my love for photography with my faith and this mission is an incredible opportunity that I am so excited about!
