Rachel D.

Rachel grew up in a Messianic home and watched her parents faithfully serve the Lord among the Jewish community. This instilled a passion to pray for and reach out to her Jewish people with the Gospel. Her enthusiasm sparks others to do the same!

Rachel received her undergraduate degree from Moody Bible Institute in 2002 in Jewish Studies and Bible as well as her Masters of Arts in Old Testament Studies in 2006. She joined the staff of Chosen People Ministries in 2002 and served for five years in the Chosen People Ministries’ New York City headquarters, among its vast population of Jewish people. She loves to disciple children and youth, teaches young people to confidently share their faith with their Jewish friends and is a mentor and encourager to many. She also coordinates conferences for global young messianic believers as well as organizing short term mission trips to Israel. She loves to grab those daily opportunities to share her faith with those around her.

In 2007, Rachel moved to Israel, serving at the Jerusalem and Tel Aviv Messianic Centers. Once in Israel, she met Steve, a British Jewish believer and they have been married since June 2010 and have two boys and a little girl. Rachel loves swimming, a good laugh and a cup of tea with milk and sugar, please.
