Hi friends! My name is Lauren and I have the joy of serving with YWAM Lakeside in Montana!

Did you know that there are 3.2 billion people who are unreached? Having never heard the gospel simply because they have no access to it. What will be our response?

The gospel is the best news any of us will ever hear! In Matthew 28:19-20, we as believers have been commanded to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations”. There is no greater joy than to lay my life before God and say YES! For it is God’s heart that all people would know this gospel!

I first did my DTS (discipleship training school), with YWAM Kona and it is here where the Lord met me and completely changed my life and I first became truly in awe with the beauty of his gospel. I knew right then that I had to spend my life knowing everything I can about who HE is and telling everyone else about Him!!

From here I knew I wanted a biblical foundation. I then did my School of Biblical Studies with YWAM Montana and fell in love with the words of God and grew closer to Him like never before. I was heartbroken to find out that so many people, even those who have heard the gospel, don’t have access to his word and biblical literacy. To apply this, I did a Bible teaching program called Titus Project and with my team, was able to teach the Bible in the nation of Thailand! The nations are hungry for His Word!

God has given me many passions, such as youth, dance and His Word.  I know that God is calling me to live a life of missions.

This fall I will be joining YWAM Montana's Dance Ministry Team, learning and being equipped in what it looks like to take the gift of dance into the nations.

Starting  Spring 2027, I have been accepted to staff the Discipleship Training School at YWAM Montana! This 2 year commitment will look like discipling, equipping and leading teams of young people to take the gospel all  around the world! There is so much need for missionaries, and how will people go unless they are trained?!  Here I will get to invest in the lives of students, watching God transform their lives, and lead them to share the gospel in the nations! God encountered me so much in my school, I saw my life and others be changed for the gospel, and I can’t wait to see the same for these students!

Friends, I am beyond grateful to be surrounded by the body of Christ, knowing my spiritual family is covering me in prayer and support! I am excited to ask you all to partner with me in financial support, as I can’t do any of this without you! I believe God provides in absolute fullness, and his provision can come through the church body!

I am raising $1,500 monthly, as this will cover both ministry essentials, living expenses, savings, etc.!  If the Lord leads you to partner with me financially, you can help support me investing into the lives of others!

Thank you for all your love and prayers! If you have any questions or would like to sign up for newsletters to hear about updates, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

The best is yet to come!

Much love,

Lauren

And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?

And how are they to hear without someone preaching?

 And how are they to preach unless they are sent?
