Hi, it's Annika :)

Welcome to a little collection of stories and memories from my adventures in Australia and beyond! Here I will be sharing some brief updates about everything I'm doing as well as photos of all I am up to and all I encounter - from the craziest experiences to the most special moments! Enjoy!

Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise.

Psalm 96:2-4a

Here I am. Send me.

Currently, I am in Townsville, Australia where I am participating in a 6-month Discipleship Training School (DTS) program through Youth With a Mission (YWAM), a international Christian ministry organization and missions movement centered around knowing God and making Him known.

I am excited to be on their global health track, learning and experiencing how I can bring my passion for global health into the missions field alongside peers from around the world who have the same heart after the Lord and the needs of His children as I do.

This program runs from October 2025 - March 2026. The first half is in the classroom during which I will be serving and getting equipped for the second half - going out into greater Australasia and joining what the Lord has already started through clinics, community health promotion, and health education efforts.

There are exciting things ahead and while I don't know exactly what they look like yet, I trust in a bigger plan!
