Eight years ago, Danielle began teaching elementary school and thought that was all her life had in store.  She also started attending Brentwood Baptist Church.  THIS was the beginning of CHANGE in her life! She immediately became active in the Children's Ministry and this has continued through today! She has taught children's Sunday School, helped in Kids Worship services, lead a girls small group, lead the 5th grade mission trip, chaperoned Centri-Kid camps, and basically not saying no to helping in any area!

In September 2004, She went on a mission trip to Cape Town, South Africa and thought it was going to be like any other mission trip, she would work and have an amazing time but then come home and settle back into her everyday normal life. To her surprise... that was not what God had planned, because since returning from that trip her life has not been the same. Since 2004, she has had the privilege of returning to Cape Town, twice. This past summer while on the mission trip to Thailand, God really began to make His plans about South Africa known to her. Now, she is happy to say she has served there for a year and has commited to serve another year.
