Karis is a 21-year-old MK from Papua New Guinea, and just graduated from Ethnos 360 Bible Institute last year. Through studying Romans she caught a glimpse of God’s heart for the Jewish people and prayed that He would use her to minister to them. At the same time she was also praying that He would open up a door for her to serve overseas. That week, BJ and Carissa came and spoke at her school sharing about an opportunity to minister to Israeli Backpackers in New Zealand! God opened every door possible for Karis to serve at the Zula Lodge in New Zealand for 3 months. She says, “BJ and Carissa patiently walked me through the whole process, teaching, guiding, supporting, and encouraging me.”
Karis says, “I 100% encourage anyone to be a part of what God’s doing in Jewish ministry! A short-term trip to serve Israeli Backpackers is a great start.” Please pray for Karis as she serves in Papua New Guinea next semester, that God would use her to encourage the missionaries there, and that God would give her wisdom and guidance for the future.
THANK YOU for your impact on Karis through your faithful prayer and financial support of the Kerstetters’ ministry!
