Balie Lester

Hi, my name is Balie, and I am 21 years old. I have been a full-time missionary for over three years. When I was 17, I knew the Lord was asking me to leave all I knew behind and calling me to be a missionary. When I graduated high school in 2021, I moved to Mexico to work at an orphanage. I worked there until 2024, experiencing personal growth and fulfillment as I shared the love of the father with the children. In June of 2024, God started to speak to me about joining YWAM South Dallas. I officially joined the staff there in November of this year. I have a passion for seeing the younger generations come to know Christ and walk out in their true identity. My hope is that through discipleship and love, we would see young people know they were made for more and set on fire to follow Jesus wholeheartedly to the ends of the earth.
