Life with Christ is
A Wonderful Adventure
St John Paul II
a native Chicagoan, and from May '24- March '26, I served as a Full-Time Volunteer for the Jesus Youth movement, a Pontifically recognized lay missionary organization with presence in over 50 countries. The following is an account of a formative  journey through the context of mission that led to a time of, self discovery, and trust in God. Things that bring me joy are encountering Christ in the everyday people I meet, witnessing others transform into their fullest potential, and, of course, enjoying a good burger!
My travels included, supporting local communities through faith, service and relationships. Follow along with the Mission Scrapbook to experience a glimpse of the story through pictures, or read reflections from the Chronicles of a Vagabond to journey alongside the deeper moments that led to renewed encounters with Christ!
