INVITE ME TO SPEAK
Stories of faith, hope, and what God can do with an ordinary yes.
I love sharing the story of how Jesus changed my own life—and the stories of the people and communities I have had the privilege of knowing and serving in Pakistan for more than a decade.
I am available to speak at churches, women’s gatherings, missions events, conferences, schools, small groups, and other gatherings about faith, Pakistan, missions, and the ways God can use an ordinary yes to take us places we never imagined.
Whether I am sharing my personal testimony, speaking about the work happening in Pakistan, or encouraging others to step into the places God is calling them, my hope is always the same: that people leave with a deeper sense of what God can do through a life surrendered to Him.
SPEAKING TOPICS
Messages, workshops, and teaching rooted in faith, experience, and the place God has led me.
FAITH THAT LEAVES THE BUILDING
Evangelism, street ministry, and learning to recognize the opportunities God places in ordinary life. Practical teaching that helps believers move beyond simply talking about faith and become more comfortable sharing Jesus with the people around them.
UNDERSTANDING ISLAM & REACHING MUSLIMS
Drawing from my own background growing up Muslim, I teach Christians about what Muslims actually believe, where Christianity and Islam differ, and how to build genuine relationships and share the Gospel with Muslims with understanding, respect, and love.
PRAYER & THE INNER LIFE
Teaching on contemplative prayer, listening to God, creating space for His presence, and developing a deeper life of prayer. These sessions can include both teaching and opportunities to experience prayer together.
BUILDING AUTHENTIC CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
What does it look like to create Christian community where people are truly known, welcomed, discipled, and given room to grow? Teaching drawn from years of building ministry in churches, classrooms, homeless communities, and unexpected places.
BIBLICAL FOUNDATIONS & PRACTICAL DISCIPLESHIP
Accessible biblical teaching designed to help people connect Scripture with everyday life—from foundational Christian beliefs to practical life skills, discipleship, and helping people build lives rooted in Christ.
FAITH, STORY & THE WRITTEN WORD
Christian writing workshops and teaching on finding the stories God has entrusted to us, writing with honesty and beauty, and using the written word to communicate faith in ways that reach people beyond the walls of the church.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
From classrooms and churches to streets and unexpected places.
For more than fifteen years, much of my ministry and teaching has happened outside the places we might normally expect. I have pastored two churches serving people experiencing homelessness, gathering on the streets and walking alongside people through both the spiritual and practical realities of life. Those years taught me that some of the most meaningful ministry happens when we are willing to meet people exactly where they are.
I have also spent years teaching in seminary classrooms, equipping students in evangelism, outreach, and practical ministry—including developing courses designed to help students move what they were learning beyond the classroom and into their own communities. I have taught college courses in world religions, helped Christians better understand Islam and engage their Muslim neighbors with both truth and genuine love, and taught on prayer, Christian community, discipleship, and writing.
Along the way, I have spoken in churches, classrooms, ministry gatherings, podcasts, and online teaching settings. And for more than a decade, some of my greatest teachers have been the people I have met while serving in Pakistan.
Whether I am speaking to a classroom, a church, a small group, or a gathering halfway around the world, I want teaching to do more than give people information. I want it to help people encounter Jesus, see others differently, and have the courage to live what they believe.
