Abigail was born in San Antonio, Texas, but she later moved to Fishkill, N.Y., where she attends Our Savior Lutheran Church.

Over the last 10 years, Abigail has served the church in a variety of ways, including through the Lutheran Youth Corps (2014) and the LCMS Youth Gathering (2022). She has also served in English Bible Camps in Hungary (2018 and 2019) and at Our Savior as assistant youth group leader (2020–2024), handbell assistant director (2021–2024) and choir director (2022–2024). In her spare time, she enjoys inventing new games, designing posters, running and making music.

Pray for Abigail as she serves in the Dominican Republic. Ask God to give her health and safety and to be with her as she learns Spanish. Pray also for the people she meets and teaches, that they would be open to hearing about their Savior, Jesus Christ, and joining His family in the church. Give thanks to God that Abigail is serving His children in this part of the world.
