Hello, my name is Austin Strehlow!
At the age of seventeen, I was transformed by the Gospel of Jesus through experiencing the unconditional love of God displayed by a small group of believers in the heart of Kansas City. I believe that the Lord has placed a deep calling within me to exemplify the wonders of this love to all who may be willing to receive it. In pursuit of this calling, I was led to the Pacific Islands, where for the past five months, I have been serving as a full-time missionary with the organization Youth With A Mission (YWAM).
I believe that God is calling me to accomplish great things with Him and that He has blessed me with very specific giftings to do so. Loren Cunningham, the founder of YWAM, once said “The way you discover your gifts is really by serving, not by searching.” My time here so far has been spent doing various acts of service: fixing toilets, ministering to the homeless, leading worship, babysitting children, wiping tables. I believe that being a missionary is about choosing to dedicate one’s life to upholding the image of Christ Jesus. It’s about denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and following Him wherever He may lead.
In this next season, I hope to attend a Discipleship Training School so that I may be further filled with God's wisdom and equipped to take the heart of service I have found here, in Hawaii, to the nations! To continue this call on my life, I humbly invite you to partner with me in bringing the steadfast love of Jesus to the least, the last, and the lost. Thank you for prayerfully considering joining me in prayer or financial support.
With Love and Gratitude,
Austin Strehlow
