Though many people remember the exact day or year they
first asked Jesus into their heart, Angie does not have
this recollection. For as long as she can remember, she
has loved and desired to serve the Lord.
The journey that would eventually bring Angie to Casa
Aleluya began senior year in college with a mission trip
to Costa Rica. During that week of ministering on the
streets and in schools Angie knew that some day she
would work on the mission field fulltime. Seven years
would pass before her next short term trip. This time to
El Salvador. Again ministering on the streets and in
schools and again Angie returned home feeling that same
call to fulltime mission work.
The following year, the Lord opened a door with the
opportunity to take a leave of absence from her teaching
job. She took it and moved to Brussels, Belgium to teach
in an international Christian school. Angie stayed on
for three years, coming home to the States with the
intention of returning to Belgium as soon as she could.
The following summer, 2000, her father invited her to
join a team from Mississippi that puts on vacation bible
school for a children’s home in Guatemala. This was her
first taste of Casa Aleluya. Each year after, Angie
would anticipate the next summer’s trip and each year
God would tug at her heartstrings for the children of
Casa Aleluya.
It was not until her third trip that Angie began to
seriously pray about a possible call to fulltime
ministry here at CPNA. Such a challenge to live with 400
children 24/7! While watching the movie Christy, a
fictional story about a missionary in rural Tennessee,
Angie felt God use a scene to say to her “You know the
answer; but you are scared to say yes because it is a
scary decision”. It was as if God stood in the room and
spoke the words audibly to her. In brokenness and tears
Angie accepted these words but did not have a peace in
her heart. Just two nights later, that peace arrived
during a Sunday prayer service. Then and there Angie
committed to a six month trial period with the
possibility of staying longer.
Angie arrived in January 2005 and within two months knew
that she had to take a further step of faith and say
“Yes, I will stay Lord”. Now a fulltime missionary,
Angie sees where her long missions journey has taken her
and believes that this is not the end, but rather a
brand new beginning.
