Hello Friends!

My name is Jackie and I am a missionary with YWAM, Youth With A Mission. My heart in partnering with YWAM is to be able to help staff their DTS, Disciple Training School. When schools are not running I would love to invest in the local community by finding ways to be engaged, whether that means partnering with a local church or checking out community gatherings to become plugged in. My heart is to be able to invite people to coffee, a meal, a walk and be able to invest in them. My vision is to go wherever God calls me and share His love by being a listening ear and a friend to those God places before me. Whether that is while I help staff DTS schools or just by making friends in my local community. I want to see people know God through the gift of friendship.

A little back story, in 2016 I did the World Race, which was an 11 month mission trip in 11 different countries. Through that experience my heart for the nations and cultures expanded and I knew I wanted to continue to go, but God had other plans and called me back home. From mid-2017 to mid-2023 I spent most of my time at home serving in my local church. I still had the desire to go back to the nations, but slowly that desire was fading as I became comfortable at home. I had a job I loved and I was content with the life I had. But then God asked me to do a DTS.

I did my DTS in 2023 in a small town called Castiglioncello, Italy. That DTS focused on the heart of hospitality. During that time God reminded me of how much I enjoy pouring into people and my heart for missions. He showed me how an invitation can open the door of peoples hearts and sometimes it looks like walking with someone through the good, the bad, and the ugly. Just like he does with us. I've had the privilege of seeing hearts open up as we sit together and share our stories.

I would like to invite you on this journey.

As a missionary I do not get paid, but instead get to partner with people through monthly or first time donations. Will you consider partnering with me as a monthly donor or a first time donor. I need to raise $2,000 per month in order to be able to do what God has called me to.

The money raised will go to:

• Rent

• Food expenses

• Transportation (airfare, local trans, etc.)

• Giving (tithing, offerings, etc.)

• Savings

• Insurance

• Personal needs

If you have any questions, would like to hear more about what I get to do, or would like to sign up for my newsletter, you can email me at jaquelynmarquez@gmail.com

Thank you for your partnership whether it's through prayer, financially, or both. Thank you!

Jackie
