Hi! My name is Elle, and I am currently a student at Columbia International University in South Carolina where I am studying Bible Teaching and Intercultural Studies. I am super excited for the opportunity to partner with the SEND North team in Alaska this summer!

The Lord began placing missions to the unreached and unengaged on my heart in middle school, where I first heard about the great need and realized that the call to missions is not an elective for a few but a commissioning for all believers. Since then, I have continued to seek the Lord in what it looks like for me to partner with Him in the mission of advancing His Kingdom both locally and globally. As I prepare to go with SEND, my prayer is to be a learner, growing in what it looks like to live, serve, and participate in the mission of God in a new cultural context as I grow in my understanding of His heart for all people!

I would love to invite you to be part of what God is doing through this opportunity if He should lead you to partner with me!
