After encountering Jesus Christ through a face-to-face experience in high school that drastically changed her life, Ivy has been following hard after the Lord and His mission to make His glory known in all the earth. With a background in worship leading, prayer/intercession, and missions, and for the last 15 years practicing in the medical field as a Family Nurse Practitioner, Ivy is passionate about mobilizing and equipping the Bride of Christ in these last days to usher in His return. Currently, she is stepping into a special role with Perspectives Study Program USA as the Regional Director of Texas to mobilize and awaken the Body of Christ to pursue the fulfillment of God’s global purpose within every people group for His glory. She has also in the process of launching a non-profit organization called “Medical Arts Team” that has a vision to bring healing through Jesus’ presence via comprehensive medical and mental health care for the underserved here, near, and far–through street medicine and mobile health care. Her medical team has also mobilized an initiative to serve orphans in Mexico – with the plan to build an urgent care center in a remote mountainous region of Chihuahua state. Ivy considers it a joy to partner with those who’s heart is to invest into further advancing the Kingdom of God through being the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus.
