About Aerin

I began a relationship with Jesus at 11 years old. Throughout high school, He became my secure anchor amid the chaos around me, largely through the influence of a woman named Sylvia Ryan. Sylvia took the time to truly know me so that I could come to know Him. She walked alongside me, pointing me to Jesus in everything she did. She prayed over me, never demanded, but gently influenced me to become the woman He created me to be.

Through her consistent presence over five faithful years, I fully surrendered every area of my life to Christ at the age of 19. Now, I feel deeply called to live out the legacy Sylvia left in my life. I want to be the kind of mentor she was to me. Someone who shows up consistently and loves unconditionally. Powerfully pointing others to Jesus through everyday moments.

I believe God has called me to know and walk with youth so they can come to know Him. I want my life to be an example of His love and truth. To be someone who helps others see who they are in Christ.

I believe the best way to reach the next generation is away from screens. Immersed in God’s creation, building genuine relationships, and creating memories rooted in adventure that will last a lifetime.

My husband Porter and I would be honored to have you partner with us in this mission. Pouring our lives out so the next generation can encounter the love and truth of Jesus Christ.
