Hi, I’m Dasha. I’m 19 years old, and my life is a testimony of God's redemptive power. I didn’t grow up in the best environment, and for years I moved from house to house, never really having a stable place to call home. But in 2017, everything changed — I gave my life to Jesus, and that decision has shaped my entire future. Through all the transitions in my early life, I discovered a love for travel and movement, and deep down I knew that God would use that part of my story for something bigger.
After completing my Discipleship Training School (DTS), I felt God speak clearly: He was calling me to be a missionary — to travel not just for myself, but for His gospel. That’s when I committed my life to sharing Jesus wherever He would send me. I’m now stepping out in faith as the first missionary in my family, something that’s not common in my community. It’s not easy, but I know this is exactly where God wants me.
This next chapter of my journey is in Norway, where I’ll be serving as a full-time missionary with YWAM Grimerud. My work will include outreach to European youth, developing faith-based content for social media, and doing hands-on community service with the YWAM base. Our mission is simple but powerful: to see the lost saved, the saved revived, and to use media in a way that honors God — especially in a world where people spend so many hours online every day.
This is a full-time role (40+ hours a week), but since YWAM is a non-profit, I won’t be receiving a salary. I’m stepping into this calling completely by faith, trusting that God will provide what I need each month. I’m currently raising about $900/month to cover basic living expenses, housing, food, and travel costs. If you feel led, I would love to invite you to partner with me — whether that’s through financial support or committed prayer. Together, as one body, we can make a lasting impact for the Kingdom.
Some ways you can pray with me:
• For God’s provision as I raise monthly support
• Peace and strength through this big transition
• Clear guidance and direction as I serve
If you’re interested in giving or joining my support team, I’d love to connect with you personally. Thank you for believing in what God is doing through my life!
Dasha
