The Mission That Brought Me Back
I returned because I truly felt led to. I knew in my heart that my job at TCM wasn’t done yet. There’s something about this place, something God placed on my heart that kept pulling me back. I’ve come to realize that the mission and vision He’s given me is deeply personal. I’m called to be that person I wish I had when I was growing up, someone steady, someone present, someone who speaks truth and hope into young lives. I want to be there for the kids, showing them love, encouraging them, and leaving them with nuggets of wisdom they can carry into their future.
God has given me a vision to plant seeds of the Lord in the hearts of the next generation. My mission is to be a reflection of Jesus to these kids, a consistent presence that shows them they are seen, valued, and loved. I want to be a bridge between where they are and where God can take them. Whether it's through a quiet conversation, a fun moment, or a simple act of kindness, I believe these seeds matter. And I trust that God will water them in His perfect time.
God has been working in me in ways I never expected. I’ve seen myself grow, especially in how I connect with people. Before, I was a little more hesitant, more reserved. But working at TCM has opened me up. Now, I find myself making connections with strangers more naturally, even having conversations about the Lord that I used to be afraid of. That’s not just me, that’s God stretching and shaping me. And I see Him at work in the kids, too. When a child who used to be closed off starts to open up, when they ask questions about Jesus or simply smile because they feel safe and seen, that’s God. He’s moving in big ways and small moments, and I’m just grateful to be part of it.

but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
