Hello, my name is Rachel and I am a missionary with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) Columbus!

It’s been a journey to get here. I studied neuroscience in college and after I graduated, taught in Thailand. While abroad a friend asked me “Would you go anywhere for Jesus”? I wept because my answer at the time was no. This was a wake up call for me as I realized a deeper place of surrender to God and that the Great Commission hadn’t been a part of my life, but I wanted it to be. Since then, I have been equipped with the Gospel and God has given me a heart for the lost and a willingness to go anywhere.

I am currently part of the executive team of our 5-month Discipleship Training School (DTS), based out of Hope City Church, where I am helping to run the school, build a prayer room, teach on worship, and disciple students.

In our inaugural school’s outreach, we saw the hand of the Lord with us. We shared the Gospel and saw the unreached turn from their old lives and follow Jesus. The Church was strengthened as we saw pastors who served for decades, but were on the verge of giving up, filled with hope and renewed vision. We also served the poor and interceded in various nations in the midst of war, conflict and hostility towards the Gospel.

In all of these things, I can say with confidence that the Lord is moving on the Earth. He is making His Bride ready and His heart is positioned toward the lost. He is not done and has not given up on His people!

I am humbled and honored that I get to participate in what Jesus is doing locally and around the world through the Church. Would you consider partnering with me through prayer and financial support, to see the Gospel go forth?

Rachel
