Meet Sonja.
Born and raised in Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula, Sonja was profoundly intelligent and genuinely curious. She studied math, mechanical engineering, and Biblical languages. And, of course, she drove a Jeep.
She was an animal lover. Never in the history of ever has anyone loved animals more than she did.
And she fiercely loved (and was loved by) her family and friends.
Then in December 2021, Sonja learned
her cancer had returned.
Sonja enjoyed spending time outdoors.
Sonja loved her family dearly.
Sonja was “Auntie” to many children.
On May 2, 2023,
Sonja learned she had months to live.
She didn’t understand God’s plans, but she trusted Him.
When Sonja was a little girl, a missionary came to her church and spoke about Jesus. That afternoon, Sonja went home and—with the help of her mom—asked Christ to save her.
And this decision changed everything.
On July 11, 2023,
Sonja first saw the face of her Savior
after a brave battle with cancer. She was 35.
Because she placed her faith in Jesus, today is now fully healed, worshiping wholeheartedly in the presence of Christ.
