ABOUT SETH:
I grew up Maine but I moved to Texas in 2012 for school. I currently work as a contractor doing mostly construction and remodeling. I have done missions work in every continent (except Antarctica) either with Global Encounters or other people and organizations. I enjoy working with kids and teens and getting to the point where they can open up and be real with you.
I enjoy scuba diving, longboarding, disc golf, volleyball, gaming, playing music, and hanging out with small groups of friends and family.
SETH’S PERSPECTIVE ON INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY
As a kid, I was fascinated by the stories my aunt would tell of the countries in which she did short-term missions work. I knew that I wanted to do that some day. Even though I grew up with nine brothers and four sisters, I didn’t always enjoy being around children. After my first mission trip to Mexico, God gave me a love for children’s ministry and working with young people. As much as God works through us when we go on short-term trips, He never fails to do a work in our own lives as we go and share His love around the world.
