Teaching Children. Training Leaders. Changing Lives.

FAQs

Q: What is ZOE International and what do you do there?

A: ZOE is not a person—it’s the Greek word for “life,” found in verses like John 10:10 and John 3:16. ZOE International is a ministry that fights human trafficking and brings life-changing restoration to children who have been rescued. I serve with ZOE in Chiang Mai, Thailand, helping rescued children heal, experience the love of God, and grow into their identity and purpose. I also train Thai leaders to minister to kids from hard places so that the work continues long after I’m gone.

Q: How did you hear about ZOE?

A: Michael and Carol Hart, the founders of ZOE, have been close friends of my parents since I was about 5 or 6 years old. They’ve known me most of my life! They invited me to come to Thailand for 6 months to help train their staff on how to teach the Word of God to children in ways that really stick. That was 18 years ago—and I never left.

Q: Did you adopt Justice through ZOE?

A: Nope. I adopted Justice through the Thai government, not through ZOE. I applied in March 2017 and was matched with a 3-year-old little boy from Esan, Thailand in January 2021. I didn’t know him or meet him until the day I brought him home. ZOE is not an adoption agency, and the children in ZOE’s care are not up for adoption. My adoption story is just one more way God has shown His faithfulness in my life and in Justice’s.

Q: Are you paid by ZOE or do you raise your own support?

A: I’m a full-time volunteer and raise 100% of my salary. That means I rely on monthly support from individuals, churches, and families who believe in what I’m doing. Every gift allows me to stay in Thailand, disciple rescued kids, and raise my son, Justice.

Q: What does my support go toward?

A: Your giving allows me to...

Stay in Thailand full time
Care for children rescued from human trafficking
Run youth nights, Bible studies, camps, and outreaches
Train Thai leaders and staff
Raise Justice in a safe, Christ-centered environment

Q: How can I help if I can’t give financially?

A: So many ways! You can:

Pray using our downloadable Prayer Guide
Share my blog posts or video updates
Invite me to speak at your church or small group
Sign up for behind-the-scenes video updates

Every bit of involvement matters. You’re part of the story God is writing!
