Hi I'm Ruby, thank you so much for your interest in my page.

I am 19 years old and am currently a missionary in Australia. I serve for a mission organization called YWAM. I grew up in the US, more specifically Minnesota and just recently made the official move to Australia on September 14th, 2025.

After I graduated high school, I decided I wanted to take some time away from school and pursue God and that is how I found YWAM. The moment I stepped foot in the Whitsundays God overwhelmed me with His peace and I knew I was exactly where I was meant to be. I decided that after my DTS (Discipleship Training School) that God was calling me back to YWAM Whitsunday to be a part of their staff team and lead the next DTS. So... Now that you are caught up a bit, let me tell you a bit about my passion and what God is calling me to specifically. My vision statement if you will.

I long to see people know their identity in Christ. To know they are loved and oh so valuable in the eyes of God. I value people. I love to love people; it has been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. Specifically, here in Airlie beach Australia, I have such amazing opportunities to meet so many people from so many places. Airlie beach is a backpacking hotspot for young people all over the world. Airlie is known for its party night life; to let loose, have fun, and drink away your problems. I believe God placed me here to spiritually impact this region. As a place known for brokenness and depression, to a place full of hope and firm identity in Christ, I pray to see a movement started here in the Whitsunday region. Ambitious, I know. But I serve a God of love, and I believe He is ready and desires to heal our broken generation.

Like I said above, this may sound ambitious, but I know I'm not alone. Thank you all who continued to read this far and it is an honor to ask if you would partner with me. I am seeking people who are fervent in their prayer life as we know movements start with a prayer movement. Here are some more broad prayer points you can be praying for:

   • A revival in Aussie youth

   • God to be revealing himself and softening hearts in Aussie youth

   • Safety for my team as we do outreach

   • God's provision

   • For God to provide my needs as well as my campuses needs

   • For God's will to be fulfilled within our region

As a missionary in YWAM I trust God for all my needs including my financial needs. I am not paid by YWAM but supported by people like you who would like to partner with me in this mission. Funds will go to my daily needs such as:

    • Rent

    • Food

    • Transportation

    • School fees

I am currently in need of around 800 USD monthly.

I will also be fundraising for our upcoming outreach phase, which is a 2-month mission trip to the nations that happens every DTS. This cost is about 4,000 USD for each school I staff. This is a one-time payment and not part of my monthly needs.

Thank you again, your support is greatly appreciated.

May the Lord bless you and Keep you.

Ruby
