Since coming to YWAM with my son in 2018 and having the opportunity to see Christ's transformative work in the nation's through missions, my heart has become burdened for the marginal, the outcast, the addicted and broken of our world in need of His love and forgiveness. In 2019 I met a man with the same burden and he became my husband a year later. Our family has now grown to four as we just welcomed our daughter Dec 3rd of this year. I now serve at YWAM's Pregnancy Resource Center where I get to share the gospel and the love of Jesus to many women who are in desperate situations. Our family is proud to serve YWAM and committed to God's call for reaching the lost, loving the least of us, and giving our lives into His hands.

The Greatest New Year’s Resolution I Ever Made

By Jonna Russell on 30 Dec 2022

You have heard the stories in the Bible. In Genesis, God said to Abram, “Go…”. In Matthew, Jesus calls Simon (Peter) and Andrew and says to them, “Follow me…”. In John, Jesus speaks to the people saying that he is the light of the world and once again invites them to follow him. But these are the stories of people long ago. I grew up thinking the reality of these things happening again is so far-fetched and unforeseen. Is that really how God works today?
