Hi Friends!

My name is Vanessa Makarenko I am staffing DBS (Discipleship Bible School) for YWAM Amsterdam reading through the whole Bible in 3 months and seeing the Word transform peoples lives.

In 2025 I did my DTS (Discipleship Training School) with YWAM Gold Coast in Australia where God opened my heart to missions and got the amazing opportunity to do my Secondary School in Amsterdam where God changed me completely inside out. Learning about His Character and Nature through the intensive school and learning to lean on Christ when it got hard.

God called me to Staff when my whole heart said no over and over again. Through signs the Lord showed me I was too afraid to step out and come back to staff. Now I am trusting the Lord through this next step of life of staffing and I am so excited to be a part of what God is calling me into!

I cannot express my thanks to God and those who have encouraged me to take this next step!

I would love to ask for you to partner with me through financial support and prayer!

To make this possible I will need $1,200£ per month for:

• Housing/rent

• Food (groceries, base food, etc.)

• Transportation (car and flights)

• Self-care

• Savings for mission trips with DBS

If you’d like to commit to being a monthly supporter, or give a one-time donation, please pray about an amount and you can give here!

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me!

Vanessa
