Greetings and dina namona (good day) my name is Ashley Rot, I am originally from St. Augustine, FL however I have been calling many different places “home” ever since I heard the call of God to GO and make disciples.
I have been a missionary with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) since 2023 and I have had the privilege of living in Papua New Guinea and testifying of the Lords goodness as I hope to continue bringing the gospel and discipleship training with me wherever I go. YWAM is an international and interdenominational non-profit missionary organization dedicated to knowing God and making God known.
In September 2024 I completed a Disciple Bible School (DBS) in Amsterdam where we read the whole Bible in 3 months, discovering God’s character and nature and His redemptive plan. I then had the opportunity to go back to PNG where a team and I pioneered the first DBS in Madang. The Lord has been so faithful in revealing Himself to me through the Scriptures and my desire is for believers all around the world to also have access to studying God’s Word like I did.
Currently I am base staffing at a YWAM base in Madang, Papua New Guinea; but the Lord has already begun giving me vision for what He wants to see across the whole nation and beyond. I am actively involved in Bible study groups with local villages as well as kids ministry. My heart is for Papua New Guineans to not only have a Bible, but fully be able to understand and comprehend what they are reading and having it transform their lives.
I have a periodic email newsletter that I would love to get you connected to if you email me at:
Otherwise, I just want to thank everyone who has been so faithful these past few months and who will continue to be faithful in fundraising and prayer! I live off the Lord’s provision and I am so honored to trust God in every aspect of my life, including finances!
The Lord has me in the palm of His plan and I wouldn’t wish to be anywhere else! Tanikiu!
Ashley
