Hello,

My name is Morgen Layton. I serve with YWAM North Cascades in Lynden, Wa, facilitating Bible training courses for the next generation of Kingdom workers and ministering to the under-served communities in Bellingham Wa, through TESOL (Teaching English to Students of Other Languages). I’m excited to use these tools to help bring people to Jesus locally and overseas when I get to serve Globally as well.

I am passionate about seeing people transformed by the love of Jesus and the power of His word. I was born and raised in the U.S., but my desire to serve alongside and in other nations has been influenced by my deep love for language. At a young age, I was exposed to the Spanish language, and that was only the beginning. My first four years of language learning in high school extended into my college years and I found myself signing up for a unique study-abroad experience. While attending a language school in Xela, Guatemala, and completing an internship in Managua, Nicaragua, I found myself deeply moved by the people and culture. In addition to these destinations, I have done missions in Mexico, Chile, Columbia, Peru, and Brazil!

Truly, there is something so remarkable about being unified in Christ; suddenly the cultural, lingual, and national barriers dissolve. This does not mean our differences cease to exist—rather the focus changes from “us” and “them” to Jesus. There is immense joy that comes with seeing someone be touched by the Word of God, but it is equally impactful to simply recognize the collision of lives the world would like to keep separate. The beauty that is created when we learn to work together is inexplicable, and more so when our cultures unite, and we worship YHWH.

As I serve at YWAM North Cascades and fulfill the Great Commission here, I know going international will come. My main roles at YWAM North Cascades include discipleship through the Bible and teaching English.

Thank you for partnering with me. Being a missionary requires the church, the whole body of Christ. Your involvement makes a difference in the lives of many.

God Bless,

Thank you.
