My name is Nancy Fröse, I am 19 years old and I come from the Mennonite congregation in Bielefeld Milse. Since August 2025, I have been serving as a teacher at the Horizonte colony.
I made a decision for the Lord at a relatively early age and reaffirmed that decision more consciously during my time in the youth group.
I’d wanted to spend a year abroad for quite some time. But when I started working with the youth group in September 2024, that desire took a back seat for the time being.
At a girls’ evening, where we had a guest speaker, she said to me that I’d probably be a good fit for Bolivia, even though we hadn’t discussed the subject at all beforehand. I told my mum about this, but not because I’d seriously considered actually going to Bolivia.
Some time later, we spoke to my brother and his wife about it, and they encouraged me to spend a year abroad after all, as I could gain a lot of valuable experience there. Shortly afterwards, my parents encouraged me to do so as well. However, we weren’t entirely sure whether it was God’s will, as I was already involved in youth group work, so we prayed about it.
At the time, we were studying discipleship at Bible college, which also encouraged me to go abroad and serve the Lord there. After some back-and-forth deliberation, I asked one of our church leaders whether there was a need for someone abroad and if I could spend a year overseas. And because that was the case, I’m now here.
I’d be absolutely delighted if you’d remember me in your prayers.
United
in the Lord,
Nancy
