Ellie is Radiance's first AMI 1 Year Intern being sent out to serve in Coban, Guatemala after she graduates from UC Berkeley this year. From the Los Angeles area, she was born and raised a Christian in another AMI church, Church of Southland. While attending UC Berkeley and experiencing Christian faith in the Bay area, God challenged and grew Ellie’s faith and ability to surrender all to Him. Over the past year, she has recognized her heart for those who need God but do not know Him, and has been inspired and blessed by Radiance’s intentionality in providing that for their community. This all accumulated into her deciding to be a 1 Year Intern to not only go and serve the Lord but to see how He is moving beyond California, the only place she has ever really known. She is excited to be able to go on this journey with Radiance and is looking forward to all the ways God will move and grow her in this new season of life.
