Throughout my life, I have been involved in church life, until a few years ago when peer pressure and a family death caused me to question my faith. Throughout university, I always felt there was something missing from my life and now that I have joined Exodus and their Moldova team, I have realised what it was.

Once I qualified from university, I decided that I needed to try new things, out of my comfort zones and to meet new people. A good friend decided to take me to Exodus in Lisburn for the two of us to make the move together, this turned out to be the teams launch night. I realised through talking to a range of like-minded people that I have been provided with an opportunity to do something really worthwhile and useful with my time and my holidays.

The Express topic of Ministry has opened my eyes to a new side of my faith, which I had never considered before. Through this experience so far, I have met amazing new people and grown in my faith. I can only hope that these relationships with both God and my fellow team members will continue to blossom in the months to come.
