Why did you choose the Estonia College Ministry trip?
Because I have a heart for college students and I wanted to partner with the church in Tartu to show the love and freedom we have by putting our faith in Christ.

In the spring of 2004, I graduated from Auburn and moved to Atlanta. Since then I have attended Buckhead Church and truly feel fortunate to be a part of what God is doing there. Through the church I have been blessed with an amazing group of friends and have had the opportunity to listen to inspiring teaching that consistently reminds me of my need for Him. As I grow closer to Him, my desire to spread the name of Christ to the ends of the earth also grows. Through prayer and patience, I now have the opportunity to fulfill that desire as I join the team going to Estonia to share the gospel and love of Christ.What is your favorite movie?
