Hi! My name is Tikva and I grew up in a missionary family in El Salvador. My parents introduced me to Jesus from a young age, but seeing my mom faithfully spend time with Him every morning made me want that relationship for myself. At five years old, I asked her to pray with me and invited Jesus into my life as my Savior.

When I was 14, I truly came to understand what it meant for Jesus to be not only my Savior but also the Lord of my life. That realization led me to fully surrender to Him, deciding there was no turning back—I wanted to follow Him wherever He called me. From then on, I became actively involved in ministry through YWAM, serving in youth discipleship, teaching, and leadership roles, including helping lead missionary camps for teenagers.

Through my DTS, DBS, and School of Worship, God continued shaping my heart. But it was during my Discipleship Bible School that I became completely captivated by Him and His Word in a whole new way. As I studied Scripture, God ignited in me a passion to teach and disciple others. The same Word that continues to transform my own life is the Word I now feel called to spend my life teaching.

I am now preparing to attend the School of Biblical Studies (SBS) in Germany as another step in equipping me for that calling. My desire is to faithfully teach God’s Word, help people know Him more deeply, and see lives firmly built on Christ. While I don’t know every detail of where God will lead me, I am committed to saying yes and serving wherever He opens the door.

I am currently building my team of prayer and financial partners to make this next season of training and long-term ministry possible. By partnering with me, you are not simply helping me attend SBS—you are investing in a lifelong calling to teach God’s Word, disciple others, and help people encounter Jesus through the truth of Scripture.

Thank you for considering joining me on this journey and for being part of what God is doing in me and through me.
