Hey!!

My name is Bella, and I currently live in Kalamazoo, Michigan! (yes kalamazoo is a real place. I didn’t make it up.)

I moved here about 2 years ago to join Radiant's School of Worship, where I grew in my heart for Jesus, desire to worship, and passion for prayer in the Church. I fell in love with ministering to the Lord, singing and playing instruments for him in a tiny little room in the heart of Kalamazoo. It became all I wanted to do.

In the prayer room, you can come from wherever you are and gather and pray - whether it’s before work or dropping kids off at school or on your lunch break. It’s a place where people can be in the presence of God and worship him together, as the church. It’s a beautiful place of fellowship with Jesus, and I have been marked by so many encounters I’ve had with the Lord in that room.

I was recently approached with the opportunity to step into leadership as a Prayer Department Resident, something I am really excited about! I will be continuing to serve in the prayer room as we develop new initiatives and pray and worship in the heart of the city. I will also be partnering with Radiant’s School of Ministry in discipling students as well as sitting in on the missions track of classes!

This next year feels like one of strategic preparation in the place of prayer, discipleship, and missions training. Last year I felt the Lord put the Middle East on my heart and my dream is to one day take what I’ve learned to the Middle East and partner with prayer rooms there.

It’s an honor to run with community and I’m honored to have YOU be a part of what God is doing in my life and where He’s taking me!

THANK YOU for partnering with me and supporting me in this exciting adventure!

Bella
