Meet Anna

Anna served that first year at Illinois State University and Western Illinois University. She continued to surrender to God and hear the call to ministry. Anna served faithfully at Western Illinois University for five years; then, the Lord transitioned her to serve at Northwestern University. Anna will finish her eighth year in ministry, working full-time with Black students, in May. During the past eight years, Anna has been dedicated to serving in the Central Illinois area as a full-time minister for Christ through The Impact Movement at Illinois State University, Western Illinois University, and Northwestern University.

Throughout her years in ministry, Anna has also had the pleasure of serving Black and Brown students in Central Illinois, Texas, New Orleans, Detroit, Michigan, North Dakota,  Central Asia, and Mexico City. She has served these students through distance coaching, retreats, spring break, and Summer Mission Trips with students and other staff. Anna believes God has called her to pursue Black college students with the Gospel and minister to students in holistic and culturally meaningful ways while affirming their ethnic identities as beautiful creations made by a perfect God. Her time on campus is spent sharing her faith with students, mentoring/discipling students and student leaders, helping new believers grow in their faith, and doing life-on-life with students.

Anna says, “I love my job! I feel humbled and grateful that God would call me to such an amazing ministry with an amazing group of students, all for His glory.”
