Hi, my name is Rachel Padilla and I have decided to commit the next 8 months of my life serving as a leader on a mission trip with YWAM (Youth With A Mission).

My heart breaks for the 3.4 billion people who have never heard the Gospel before. As a student I had the opportunity to serve the nation of Peru this past year. I fell in love with the people & saw lives restored, and healings while getting to proclaim the name of Jesus from the deepest parts of the Amazon jungle to the high Andes mountains of Peru. Coming home my heart for the nation’s only burned more than ever before.

I have been blessed with an opportunity to continue missions through being on staff with YWAM in Kona. As a leader my prayer is that the students coming will have the opportunity to experience the love of the Father in a new way while becoming the hands & feet of Jesus in countries around the world. Young people are longing to give their life to something meaningful. YWAM gave me an opportunity to see what it looks like to join a community of people who truly live their lives sold out life for Jesus.

I believe when zeal and passion is mixed with deep, intimate love for Jesus, it results in revival. Romans 10:14 “But how can they call on Him to save unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him?

DTS is a 6-month missionary training program that is split into two 3-month sections. During this time, we are trained and equipped through in-depth Bible study, Christ-centered worship, and practical mission experiences that encourage spiritual growth and prepare us for lifelong ministry and service. After training the team will then spend 3 months in the nations living amongst the people, learning their lifestyle, and serving them in every way to ultimately spread the gospel! Our team often partners with long-term missionaries who live in these countries.

Being a YWAM missionary, means I get the privilege of reaching out and building a team of supporters to partner with. I am trying to raise $1,000/ month which would go towards housing, food, and then my outreach fees. Would you be interested in partnering with me financially? This team is a vital part of my ministry and is the reason that I am able to go! If not, no worries, please let me know!

If you have any questions or would like more information feel free to reach out to me!!
