Hayley knew her sophomore year of college that she was called to Africa and she could think of going nowhere else. Since returning to the States after serving in Northern Uganda with a Christian non-profit, she prayed for the Lord to send her back to the continent. She wondered how her passion for justice and healing in post-conflict societies could align with Bible Translation. When she discovered trauma healing, she knew this was what the Lord was calling her to do.

Today, she works with SIL Eastern Congo Group. There she serves the office and community, in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, helping them meet their needs for trauma healing and scripture engagement. She hopes to help others heal through Christ, and is thrilled to be a small part of others finding this hope and the healing only Christ can bring.
