Hi friends!

My name is Madeline, and I am currently serving with an organization called Youth With A Mission (YWAM).

Growing up, I believed that Jesus was real, but I didn't truly understand what it meant to know Him personally. In 2023, I surrendered my life to Him and began a genuine relationship with Jesus that completely changed the direction of my life.

In 2025, I attended a Discipleship Training School (DTS) with YWAM Kona. During that season, the Lord captured my heart in a deeper way and revealed the passion and calling He has placed on my life: to make Him known and to disciple young women across the nations.

I am deeply moved by the reality that so many people, especially young girls around the world, do not know Jesus or have someone to walk alongside them in their faith journey. God has given me a heart for the next generation, and my desire is to help young women encounter Jesus, grow in their relationship with Him, and become confident in their identity and purpose in Christ.

Because of this calling, the Lord has led me to staff a DTS beginning in September 2026. Through this opportunity, I will have the privilege of living out the passion God has placed on my heart by discipling and mentoring young women as they encounter Jesus and grow in their faith during their DTS experience.

What DTS looks like:

For the first three months, our staff and students will be based in Kona, Hawaii, for the lecture phase of the DTS. During this time, students will learn from weekly guest speakers who will teach on a variety of topics related to the Bible, discipleship, and living out their faith. The goal of this phase is to help students know God more deeply and develop an authentic, personal relationship with Him. As they spend time in God's presence and study His Word, they will experience transformation, renewed minds, and significant spiritual growth.

The second phase is outreach! An exciting opportunity to put everything we've learned into action and make Jesus known among the nations. During outreach, our teams will travel to another country to share the Gospel, serve local communities, and disciple others. I will have the privilege of co-leading a team alongside another staff member, guiding and discipling our students as we step out in faith and bring the love of Jesus to a new nation.

I am incredibly excited to see what God will do in and through this next season, and I am grateful for the opportunity to partner with Him in reaching and discipling the next generation.

I would love to ask to partner with me through financial support and prayer.

My goal is $1500 per month for:

• Housing/rent

• Food (groceries)

• Transportation (car rent/ gas)

• Giving (tithes / blessing others in discipleship )

If you’d like to commit to being a monthly supporter, or giving a one-time donation, please pray about an amount and you can give here!

Your support means the world to me! Every dollar counts and every prayer is heard. Together we can bring all glory to God to all people and every nation.

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28: 18-20
