Her Testimony - Born into a Christian family, Paula learned early about having a relationship with God.  At the age of six, she accepted Jesus as Lord of her life.  Through God’s faithfulness and the foundation of His Word laid in her life, she continued to grow in her Christian faith.  Upon entering college she eagerly sought friendship with other Christians which led her to become part of a campus ministry.  After graduation, Paula sought God's Will for her life by practicing 2 Peter 1:10, "Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you".  Once Paula recieved God's confirmation about her future, she obeyed and pursued ministry as a full-time vocation. 

Her Ministry - Paula’s desire is to see nations reform by coming under the Lordship of Jesus and to see them apply Biblical principles in the different arenas of their culture.  Her past experience toward accomplishing this vision consist of teaching Bible studies, one-on-one evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development.  As a result, Paula has led others into a personal relationship with Christ and raised up leaders to be a witness for Him.  She served as a council member on the Executive Committee of EveryNation's (EN) International Student Ministry.  Her passion drove her to the research and assimilation of data, thus creating of a proposal in which EN could strategically chart the course for reaching internationals.  Combining Paula’s experience and input from peers in her field, she developed the EN Handbook for International Students.  Now, Paula’s main responsibilities include overseeing the missions arm at her local ministry as well as directing the international student ministry at ECU.
 

Her Team - The task of reaching the world is too significant for any one individual.
