Rachel was born in the Philippines to a Canadian dad and American mom who were missionaries there. In 1997, the family moved to the United States and settled in North Carolina, where they became involved in a church community dedicated to honoring God's Word and sharing the Gospel. Rachel was raised in an environment that valued discipleship and international service. During the fall of 2014, while living with Dutch relatives in the Netherlands, she met her husband, Julian, a Belgian citizen who was there attending seminary. Their connection began with a mutual love of Jesus and an understanding of the great spiritual need for workers in the fields of Europe. This connection blossomed and led to marriage in 2016.
Rachel’s background is as a professional social worker with multiple areas of experience including working with refugee resettlement, homeless populations, adults with disabilities and foster care. Her concern and compassion for the individual will be her focus as she starts ministering in Brussels, Belgium. Concentrating on making disciples through small group Bible studies which emphasize caring for the individual, she desires to see lives transformed and Western Europe impacted for Christ.
In association with Community Bible Study International (CBSI), Rachel will take on a variety of tasks including starting Bible study groups, caring for and leading groups and encouraging and training members of these groups to become disciple-makers and leaders themselves.She has participated both internationally and in the States with CBS, and believes the discipleship approach is effective, compelling and inviting.
Julian pastors a church in Brussels, Rachel is thrilled to be called to serve alongside him and within the context of CBSI to advance Christ's kingdom in Belgium, where Christianity is represented in less than 2% of the population.
The needs are great and the Belgian harvest field has two new workers!
The LORD says, "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will also make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth." Isaiah 49:6
