About Me
“Nothing else really matters, only to love Him and to do what He tells me.” -Hannah Hurnard
Writing about myself feels a bit daunting, so let me start off with a few fun facts to lighten the mood: my favourite Christmas movie is The Grinch and I cannot do a backflip. Okay, now we can begin.
I was born September 21, 1999, and raised in Tennessee in the United States. I grew up in a christian family and had a genuine love for Jesus as a little girl. Though I knew God in a real way, my childhood was marked by an intense battle with fear and anxiety. As I grew into my teenage years, some of the fear and anxiety turned into fear of God (and not the good kind). I believed God to be a power tripping tyrant ready to throw a lightning bolt on anyone who even so much as blinked the wrong way. Fed up with my own failures to achieve a perceived expectation of perfection, I turned my back on God. I wanted nothing to do with Him.
I began living a lifestyle of “freedom.” Doing what I wanted as I wanted. Drugs, alcohol, poor relationships, all the normal things our culture promotes as fun turned out to be poison disguised in a perfume bottle. The more free of God I was, the more bound I became. I found myself in a prison of depression and self-hatred. I didn’t want to live anymore. One night, I came to the end of my rope. I ran outside of my house in a pair of fluffy candy-cane pajama pants, and sat on the side of the road weeping. I cried out to God for the first time in a long time saying: “If you are really there, and if you really love me, then save me! Prove yourself!” God’s response to me in that moment surprised me quite a bit. He said, “Go to the Ramp School of Ministry.” The Ramp is a ministry in Hamilton, Alabama whose mission is to awaken young people to the presence of God. I reluctantly obeyed what He said. After all, what did I have to lose?
When I arrived at the Ramp in 2017, I had a radical, supernatural encounter with God. When I expected judgement and anger, I heard the voice of Jesus say my name with love and compassion. I have no other words to describe what happened to me other than that I met Jesus. I saw Him. My heart and spirit came alive. His love and forgiveness freed me from depression, anxiety, and self-hatred. I no longer had a desire for drugs because I tasted and experienced something so much sweeter. His presence changed me forever. Ever since that moment, I have lived my life fully given to following Jesus. Walking each day in relationship with Him, and giving all I am to what He says to do. I have no greater joy than to know Him.
In the summer of 2020, I heard Jesus tell me to move to England as a missionary. In January 2021, I had my feet planted on English soil. So, why am I here? Jesus said that if we love Him, then we must feed His sheep. Therefore, I am here to love God through loving His people here in England. I am here to find the kids who were just like me: lost and broken, searching for something real, and bring them to know and encounter the Creator of the Universe. I burn to see young people awakened to how real God is, and the joy of knowing Him personally and deeply. I am passionate about seeing young people free and walking in their purpose. I want to do whatever part God has asked me to do in seeing this generation come to know Jesus.
Recap of 2025
I have been doing ministry in the UK for 5 years this year… and it has by far been the best year yet, both personally and in ministry. Here are just a few highlights of the last year.
I married by beloved husband, Joseph Baldwin in April of this year! A glorious fulfilled desire and promise from the Lord. Many of you who partner with me were there on our wedding day, and I can’t express how grateful I am to have had you there on our special day.
Since Joseph and I got married, we have had a whirlwind of change in our lives - especially Joseph. Joseph had a well paying corporate job working in finance, as well as getting paid for semi-pro cricket. So when we got married I said to myself “God’s provision has come through a husband and fundraising can be over!!”… God loves irony. Just two months into our marriage, Joseph looks at me and says “I just have this sense from the Lord that I am supposed to leave my job to do something else.” After weeks of prayer and fasting, Joseph left his corporate job and his cricket career to join me in full time ministry at The Ramp - working in the finance department of The Ramp and assisting Pastor Joe Reeser. We weren’t sure how all the ends would meet financially, but we were sure of this: God never asks us to do something that He won’t provide the means for.
After stepping out in faith, with Joseph taking a pay cut in order to say yes to what the Lord had asked him to do; the Lord provided for us in a surprising way. In November of 2025, I was given the role of Youth Director at The Ramp with a part time salary. This was a huge miracle and provision from the Lord for us! So now my day-to-day work looks like overseeing and leading all the different areas of youth ministry at Ramp Church. From leading and regularly preaching at our weekly youth services, to 1-1 mentorship, Bible studies, and leading a group of young adult volunteers.
I have so much vision and passion for the future of Ramp Youth now that I am in this leadership role. We have several testimonies of our current young people growing deeper in their walks with God and their passion for Him growing brighter; however I am hungry for more of these stories. My aim is to work to multiply the reach of Ramp Youth Ministry over the next year to see more and more young people encounter Jesus and grow in discipleship.
I am still a apart of leading Chosen UK - and their ministry is growing swiftly! In 2025 they ministered at several local youth events and outreaches. Preaching the gospel to young people their own age. In August of 2025 they minister at Prayer Storm’s: Battle For Britain conference - reaching around 5,000 people. Our heart is to get them out ministering even more in 2026.
The most exciting news of all for 2025… Joseph and I are expecting our first child in July 2026! With Joseph’s salary and my part-time salary, our fundraising needs have dropped significantly. However, with a baby on the way, we still need to raise £9,630.00. This will bring up my salary to “full-time” and support us to cover all the costs that come with a new child, and flight costs to travel to the US to see family in 2026.
All the glory of every salvation, miracle, and life touched over this past year goes straight to Jesus. It is all because of Him. Your support of our now family ministry, is greatly needed and deeply appreciated. Thank you for your partnership in this harvest through your giving.
Vision for 2026
We are currently raising funds to support our family ministry in Manchester. We need £9,380 to bring my salary up to full-time, cover and support the costs of having our first child in July, and cover travel expenses to see family in the US. There is a great need for the gospel in post-christian England. Less than 1% of the population of Manchester attends an evangelical church. In our city alone over 200 languages are spoken. The nations are literally at our front door. The gospel being proclaimed in this city is proclaiming the gospel across the world. Will you join our team and help us see Manchester awakened to God?
