Alyssa

Raised in rural Manitoba this super talented, beautiful soul excelled in the sport world. She journeyed into high level volleyball with a scholarship to Université de Moncton, in New Brunswick. As the youngest of six children, she always looked up to her siblings and father when it came to sports. Aly’s close relationship with her mother always helped her flourish in the faith and was an encouragement to always use her gifts to serve God.

Although she felt called to play, study and serve during those four years of university, she often felt like God was calling her to serve those more in need. Through different trials, lessons, and joys, she knew it was time to start putting Him first. It was after her first missionary trip in Peru 2019, that she felt immense peace in serving others. After that unforgettable journey and a year of growing, praying and discerning, the Holy Spirit made it clear that, for the moment, He wanted her to stay in Manitoba and to serve those in her own community. God has led her to the beautiful vocation of marriage, in which her and her husband have welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world. 

Her tenacity and competitive spirit was not just for the court, you can count on Alyssa to provide challenges for you and to grow together past the habitual limits, not only in workouts, but also in your intellect and spirit.
