Ayoooo!! My name is Jack Dede, and I am a missionary with YWAM!
Did you know that there are 1.5 billion people globally who do not have access to the Word of God in their native language? The Bible teaches us to lay down our needs for the needs of others, taking on suffering and servanthood, because of the love we have received in Christ. I have seen this love!
I was encountered by Jesus in my high school years, encountering his presence and seeing Him change my from the inside out by surrendering to the Holy Spirit. He has given me the desire to share his word amongst a world of unbelief and confusion. God is my Father, my deliverer, and my closest friend, and I want to see others find the same comfort in Him that I have!
Now, I believe God is calling me to make him known in the nations, working on my heart to follow him to the ends of the earth. I will give my entire life so that even one more person would hear of the Savior of my life.
To start this journey, I will be joining YWAM (Youth With A Mission) and enrolling in a 6 month Discipleship Training School in Lakeside, Montana! I will spend 3 months getting built up in biblical knowledge and falling deeper in love with Christ. To follow, I will be sent with a team to a foreign nation (likely in Southeast Asia) to proclaim His name amongst the people I encounter. I will get to serve the practical and spiritual needs of others, as God continues to show me His heart for ALL PEOPLE!!
I believe God is calling me to a life on missions, one that will last far beyond these 6 months! Whatever it may look like, whether being overseas longer or coming home, I have no idea. However, I am trusting Christ in His direction for my life, and will follow wherever He leads me.
With that, I am also placing my trust in God’s provision. I believe He will provide through His Church, that is the body of believers. I could not support the work that I do, and that is done in me, on my own. So if you feel inclined to partner with me financially, you can aid in me taking this message across the world! The total cost for this DTS Course is $9,300 and will cover all of my living and travel expenses for the full 6 months!
Please contact me further for any questions, and how to sign up for my newsletters and prayer needs!
Much love and blessings with you all!
