For the last 13 years, I've been a full-time volunteer with YWAM (Youth With A Mission). I am based and serve in Perth, Australia. Our mission work is global, giving opportunities for every generation from every nation to respond to God's calling upon their lives.
Every YWAM worker, including our founder, Loren Cunningham, raises funds to meet our financial needs. This means that I haven't had a stable income for the last 13 years. I don't know how this has been possible, but God proves Himself to be faithful in providing for every need, mainly through the generosity of people who want to partner with and send me as a missionary to the nations.
Even more so, I have travelled to all of these countries to share and experience Jesus in the mountains, villages, and big cities. I've seen the excitement of a girl hearing the Gospel for the first time in a big city in Asia, experienced the hospital emptying the day after we visited and prayed for the patients in Africa, and travelled through the sparse country to give the Bible to a family of nomads.
In the day-to-day, I lead a ministry called Remarks. Our desire is to tell stories that there is no place too hard to be reached by God's love, using photojournalism tools. During one ordinary time with God in 2015, He spoke about this vision when I had no storytelling or photography skills. Over the years, God kept confirming this vision and how He wants to use my desire and help grow my skill to tell stories of God's goodness in the nations (Nepal & Myanmar magazine).
Amid the global pandemic in 2020 when running an existing operation was challenging, I embarked on pioneering the Remarks ministry. It is only by miracles that the ministry is running, and I continuously mobilise people in the ministry to reach communities in Perth and the nations. I see YWAM Perth as a training hub for missionaries to be trained and sent. In accomplishing the Great Commission, a part of my role is to multiply and mobilise missionaries by working in YWAM Perth. And from a few years ago calculations, our training centre has trained 18,000 missionaries!
To put it simply, the vision in my heart is to inspire others about missionary work and what God is doing in the nations through the tools of photojournalism. There are still many who have not heard the Good News, and that "the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few." I believe that my calling is to tell God's stories in the nations to others through the work of YWAM Perth.
