Hi! My name is Natalie Castillo and I will be a student with Circuit Riders as well as serving as a missionary with them. Since graduating from Liberty University with a worship degree, I have served with evangelistic ministries in cities from Las Vegas and Nashville to Paris.
After spending several weeks in prayer for fresh vision and purpose, I felt the Lord put it on my heart to take a step away from my day-to-day life and spend a season that is completely set apart for Him through a Circuit Rider Discipleship Training School.
I am passionate about learning from and serving with the Circuit Riders because of the earnestness they so clearly display for Jesus as He truly is. This is an organization that wants their mission to be what Jesus' mission is. Their teachings of simple obedience to His teachings and their desire to lift up Jesus' name above all else has already incredibly reshaped my desire for this life as well as how I view the Lord. The Lord has given me a longing to pursue Him in a deeper way, and I believe it will be through this anointed time that my faith and relationship with Him will be forever marked.
My vision is for this season is to approach the Lord, sit at His feet with completely open hands, and allow Him to teach and equip me to live life mission-ally wherever I am. I have no idea what to expect after this season, but I know that I want to be equipped to share the Gospel, to teach and disciple others, and to foster community the way we see it in the Book of Acts. The Lord is calling the Church in deeper and He's calling me to be a part of it.
I want to thank everyone who stood alongside me, partnering with me through prayer and through finances. I'm grateful for how the Lord is using this as an opportunity to create testimonies, rebuild connections, and grow my faith throughout the process.
Natalie
