Thrivent continually encourages individuals to make the most of all they have been given. Throughout my time at Thrivent I have worked to incorporate generosity into how I work and live.

Camp Wartburg- I currently serve on the Board of Directors for Camp Wartburg, a retreat center and summer camp facility in Waterloo, IL that invites youth, adults, and families of all backgrounds to encounter God's creation through activities devoted to body, mind and spirit.

Habitat for Humanity- Together, Habitat for Humanity and Thrivent partner with families around the world in need of decent, safe, and affordable housing. For nearly two decades, their mission has been to make a powerful impact in the lives of families and communities by helping where it’s needed most. This unique partnership has awarded me the opportunity to volunteer with Habitat and serve people all over the world, while sharing the love of Christ.

2018- Thrivent Builds trip to Vietnam to build affordable housing.
2019- Thrivent Builds trip to Guatemala. We spent the week working on a home for a deserving woman who who worked during the week as an auditor and also volunteered at her church. On Saturdays she would attend the University with dreams of one day becoming a business owner.
2023- Mission Trip to Cambodia with Stronghold Cambodia Mission of Christ Network. Stronghold’s mission, based on Isaiah 25:4, is to proclaim the Gospel to children and families so they can come to know God as their Stronghold, Shelter, and Shade. They provide a safe place for the economically disadvantaged children in the Buddhist and Muslim community to be nurtured intellectually, physically, and spiritually through their lunch program which we were able to help serve during out trip. Bible devotions, ESL, and Basic Computer classes are offered at no cost to their families who otherwise would be unable to afford it. We were able to host a Vacation Bible School program during our time their. It was an impactful trip that I will never forget.
