About me
Hey! I’m Ezra and I’m staffing an extreme places school to go to the hardest to reach and darkest places for sake of the gospel!
My story
I grew up in church, but for the longest time it was simply words on a page. I knew full well about Jesus but hadn’t personally encountered Him. Feeling depressed, empty, and weighed down by my sin, I had just wanted life to be over. So when I was fed up with the heaviness I felt, I called out to the God I had heard of my entire life and He completely changed my life! The Lord has redeemed my life from the pit, therefore I will follow Him all the days of my life. The Lord is good and His love endures forever, and I cannot stop speaking of what I have seen and heard!
Philippians 3:7-16
“But whatever was gain to me I count as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to Him in His death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should embrace this point of view. And if you think differently about some issue, God will reveal this to you as well. Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained.”
Ezra 7:10–My life verse
“For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the Lord, to practice it, and to teach its statutes and ordinances in Israel.”

This girl had felt depressed and suicidal, but after praying, the Lord took it from her and she said she physically felt lighter afterwards! Glory to God!
Every life matters and it’s an honor to be used by the Lord to step into their story and proclaim the hope of Jesus.
The Lord brought us to many schools where we saw Him use us to encounter thousands of youth for the gospel!
We got the opportunity to share the gospel with these children in Botswana because there’s no one too young, and the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these!
