My first experience with YWAM was a short term Mission Adventures trip in 2012, where I first felt a call to go in to missions. I did my Discipleship Training School(DTS) a few years later in New Zealand, where I came to know God in a deeply personal way. I decided to go into full time ministry because I want …
While I was attending the Discipleship Training School in 2018, God grew in my heart what I’ve known for a long time: missions is the call He placed on my life. God grew a passion in my heart for children and for telling stories through photography. I’m so excited to be able to use the passions God grew in me …
I am a full time missionary here in Madison, WI. God called me here in 2015 to take a Discipleship Training School. It was during DTS that I understood the depth of his love for me. I know he has called me to missions long term, because everyone deserves to know about God and His great love for them!
After attending the Fall 2014 Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Madison, I returned in 2015 to staff the Fall DTS. Over the years, my passion for seeing God be known in the nations has expanded. The greatest way to share the Lord with others is to know Him yourself, and what better way to strengthen this but through discipleship. My …
Our journey with YWAM began in the late 80’s and early 90’s when, as singles, God called us to join this movement with the motto “To Know God and to Make Him Known.” We met each other in 1994, married in ‘96, and have been blessed since then with 8 children. Over the years, our service in YWAM has taken …

All these ministries are done with a passion to refresh and empower young Christian leaders to fulfill the great commission. They live on Madison’s east side and have the privilege of raising …
I joined YWAM in 1980 in Tyler, Texas. I then spent 13 years in Europe working in accounting, and then to everyone’s relief, moved on to training and pastoral care for our staff. Since 1994, I’ve served with YWAM Madison. I have a heart to see young people championed and released to their fullest. I love having the opportunity to …
My heart beats for people to really know who God is. To know his character and his ways, and to have real, deep relationship with Him. I love working with people to help them learn how to shape their lives to reflect more of God’s character and His Kingdom. This desire has led me to many different areas and roles …
