Hi! My name is Isabella! I am a birth worker and missionary serving with YWAM Kona!
I felt the Lord tugging on my heart for missions in 2021 at the same time He began to reveal His heart for birth work as an open door for the Gospel. When I decided to do my DTS with YWAM in 2022 I was able to pursue a doula training as my focus! Since then the Lord has gripped my heart for maternal health! I decided to join YWAM Kona and take their maternal health school called Lifebearers! I absolutely loved being a part of the school! I learned so much and had the amazing opportunity to serve on the maternal health field for a three month outreach in Southeast Asia!
I am now preparing to join on staff with the Lifebearers ministry. The heart of Lifebearers is to train up missional maternal health workers and activate them to go out into the nations! I am so excited to be a part of this ministry!
Â
My time will also consist of  providing support in the community with the local pregnancy center, supporting new moms with my doula services, education and working with the postpartum team! As well as working with a doula and learning new skills myself.
The Lord has tugged on my heart for the many injustices that face mothers and families in the area of pregnancy and birth. I've been called to take action to pursue this ministry wherever it leads me! For now the Lord has spoken very clearly that I am supposed to be a part of this ministry! I will be in Kona for 9 months and will need monthly support for my basic living essentials. Â
I ask that you pray and consider joining me to be a part of what the Lord is training up in this ministry. I so appreciate your prayers and support and ask if you would pray about partnering with me monthly.
Thank you, God bless!
Isabella
