Welcome to Of Word and Fire—a space ignited by conviction, shaped by global experiences, and fueled by a passion to see lives transformed through truth, action, and love.
I am a pastor, leader, preacher and social researcher committed to equipping individuals and communities to live out authentic, courageous, and world-changing faith. My work centers on inspiring people to wholeheartedly follow Jesus and tangibly seek first the Kingdom of God in their everyday lives—across cultures, vocations, and generations.
At the heart of everything I do is a call to embody faith in real, practical ways—through words, and actions with a sensitivity to our current realities. Whether I’m preaching the Word with clarity and conviction, mentoring emerging leaders, or engaging global learning journeys that listen to and learn from the worldwide Church, I strive to empower others to live with purpose and boldness.
I’m the co-founder of PreacHER Academy, a global movement igniting women to rise up, preach boldly, and lead right where they’re at. This empowering experience is built on three pillars—coaching, curriculum, and community—designed by women, for women to handle Scripture with confidence and proclaim truth with courage. PreacHER Academy isn’t just about teaching—it’s about awakening voices, shaping leaders, and fueling a global sisterhood to step into their God-given call with passion and power.
"Of Word and Fire" reflects my deepest calling—to speak truth that burns with urgency and compassion, just as the prophet Jeremiah described: “His word is in my heart like fire… I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9).
I invite you to journey with me—to listen, learn, act, and grow—as we pursue transformation that flows from the inside out and reflects the living reality of God’s Kingdom on earth.
Your support covers essential ministry costs—flights, lodging, meals, materials, and insurance—enabling me to serve in places that can’t cover speaker expenses. This July and August 2025, I’ll be in Tanzania and Ethiopia. Any funds raised beyond immediate expenses will help support me personally, enabling me to sustain this work long-term. Your prayers are valued and your financial support is appreciated. Thank you for fueling the movement of Word and Fire.
