Ministry Description
About Ryleigh
I was not raised in a Christian home, so faith was not something I grew up with. When I was 14, I was invited to attend Word of Life Island as a camper. That experience introduced me to the Gospel and showed me what it meant to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Through hearing God’s Word and learning about the Gospel, I came to understand my need for a Savior and placed my faith in Jesus Christ. As I continued growing in my relationship with Christ, God began giving me a desire to serve Him and reach others with the Gospel. I eventually attended Word of Life Bible Institute for two years, where I was able to grow deeper in my understanding of God’s Word and prepare for a life of ministry. During my time at the Bible Institute, God continued to develop my burden for missions. I believe God is calling me to serve Him as a missionary in the Dominican Republic, using the opportunities He gives me to share the Gospel and disciple others. I am excited to see how God continues to lead, equip, and use me as I seek to faithfully serve Him and make Christ known in the Dominican Republic.
Life Verse
"But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9
