Hello! My name is Kayla Baumann. Since I was a kid, I wanted to be a missionary. I have been in full-time ministry since 2009, aside from a few years between 2015-2017 and 2019-2020 during which I was still in ministry every summer. From 2020-2024 I was on staff with YWAM Philadelphia. That was the one thing I never expected. To be called to the city I grew up in. 

Currently, I believe God is asking me to pioneer another YWAM base. I am in the beginning stages of this and reaching out to other leaders and elders in YWAM for wisdom and guidance as I take steps towards obeying this assignment and learning what this might look like.

The world is coming to Philadelphia. Tourists, immigrants, students, and more. We have the awesome ability to reach people for Christ from around the world without leaving our city!

My heart’s passion is to enable and support people to fulfill their God-given destiny. To lead and serve in such a way that others can follow God’s call on their lives. It’s to inspire and encourage young believers to discover their identity and pursue their God-given destiny. These things make me feel alive and I know I am doing what I was created to do.

Part of the way I feel called to do this is to help churches and ministries in the city to be able to support each other so we can better work together in accomplishing the great commission.

I'm working with my pastors and a few others in the congregation to form a missions team so we can do consistent outreaches in the neighborhood. We want to provide training and opportunities for those who want to learn and practice a more missional lifestyle as well as connect people who already are living one. 

I work with the youth group at my church, serve on the women’s ministry team, co-lead the welcome team, and serve every Tuesday with another church in the city as they run a food distribution and outreach.

I also feel called to write Christian Fiction that shows how a person's faith can impact his or her daily decisions and what it's like to live out your calling, whether you want it or not. I have self-published four fiction books and worked with other authors on a self-published devotional. I am currently working on a Christian fantasy novel. 

Ministry is hard... and we can easily feel isolated. But we weren't meant to do this alone. We need each other.

In order to fulfill God's call on my life, I need to work with a team of people who want to be a part of all He is doing in this city and through my life, both through prayer and financial support. Would you consider investing in the Kingdom by joining this team?

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
