My name is Lydia Gilger and I have been a missionary with YWAM since 2019! Beginning in 1960, YWAM serves to present Jesus Christ personally to this generation, mobilize people to join this task, and train believers for the great commission!

After giving my life to Jesus, my heart became deeply stirred by my Lord's command to "make disciples of all nations." I did not know where that fascination would lead, but I knew that following Christ meant surrendering my life for the sake of His name among the nations.

That same year, I was given a copy of a Muslim background Believer's testimony. As I read it, God did something in my heart and mind, bringing me to the realization that, for me, missions meant ministering to these people. Through this, a quiet but persistent gospel-driven conviction formed in my heart: "my life for theirs."

Now, I am committed to long term ministry amongst Muslim peoples in the Middle East. It is my aim to see the nations of the Muslim world behold the glory of Christ through multiplying discipleship movements. I want to see the good news take root in hearts, households, and communities, resulting in indigenous, multiplying movements of Believers who worship Jesus as Lord and walk in unwavering obedience to Him. Will you help me do it?

My monthly goal of $2,200 enables me to maintain a sustainable and focused presence in the Middle East while engaging in relational ministry and discipleship training. Your support enables me to serve effectively and sacrificially in the Muslim world!  

It would be an honor to have you partner with me!
