Hi, I’m Anna! I am excited to share that I will be serving as a short-term missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) at their Northland campus in Whangārei, New Zealand. YWAM is a global Christian missions movement dedicated to “knowing God and making Him known,” equipping believers through discipleship, evangelism, and outreach around the world.
From September 2025 to February 2026, I completed a Discipleship Training School (DTS) at YWAM Northland. During that season, God deepened my relationship with Him and strengthened my passion for sharing the Gospel. Combined with previous ministry experience in Asia, Europe, and youth and camp ministries in Minnesota, I sensed a clear calling to return and invest in the next generation of missionaries.
Beginning in August 2026, I will commit to two years of service at YWAM Northland. My role will include mentoring and discipling DTS students, helping lead outreach teams to Asia and the Pacific Islands, building relationships within the local community of Whangārei, and continuing to grow through training and discipleship. My desire is to walk in my calling to make Him known and help others encounter the love of Jesus.
As with many missionaries serving through YWAM, I will not receive a salary and will rely on the generosity of ministry partners. I am building a team of people who will partner with me through prayer, financial support, and ongoing relationships as we work together to fulfill the Great Commission.
Thank you for considering being part of this journey! Your partnership enables me to serve, disciple others, and share the hope of Jesus both in New Zealand and among the nations.
Anna
