A note from Madi

Going where
the people are.

“Carrying the love God has shown me.”

For years I’ve dreamed of serving on the mission field, and after a lot of prayer I’m saying yes. I was officially accepted to Youth With A Mission’s Backpack Europe Discipleship Training School, and on January 10 I’ll begin in Paris.

This school is built for action, not just head knowledge. We’ll go to the streets, hostels, and gathering places of urban Europe to meet people and share the hope of Jesus.

I’m excited to grow closer to God, learn alongside my team, and follow wherever He leads. Thank you for standing with me.

With gratitude, Madi

The heart behind the journey

To know God.
To make Him known.

Youth With A Mission is a global family of Christians committed to knowing God and making Him known through evangelism, training, and mercy ministry. YWAM Paris Connect brings that heart to cities, young people, and communities across Europe.

For Madi, that means more than traveling somewhere new. It means drawing closer to Jesus, learning to love people well, and being ready to share His hope in everyday conversations.
