Hear from three InterVarsity Link staff as they share honestly about their experiences as single women in mission across three different continents: from building a supportive community and working through loneliness to overcoming temptations and building spiritual foundations for the soul. Listen as they share some key life rhythms to help you thrive on the mission field!
In 2018, Speaker E sensed God calling her to quit her job in university admissions and use her degree in Arabic Language to go into full-time ministry. She attended Urbana 18 as an InterVarsity alumna, where she connected with InterVarsity Link. She’s been serving with an IFES movement in the Middle East/North Africa region since December 2019. She works alongside local leaders to disciple students as they grow in their faith and equip them to reach their Muslim classmates and families. She also navigates daily life as a single American woman in a Muslim country.
Rachel said yes to joining God’s global mission in 2018 after being invited to join the IFES ministry in Israel through InterVarsity Link. She has served two years in Israel among Hebrew, Arabic, and English-speaking students. Rachel loves working alongside her diverse staff team and student leaders as they strive to creatively bring the gospel to campuses across the country. Currently, she’s in Montana serving her alma mater as an InterVarsity campus minister while she awaits her next visa to Israel. Rachel is familiar with the challenges of being a single American woman in a complex cross-cultural environment.
Currently working with InterVarsity Link in GBU Chile, Aisha Arias loves working with college students and numbers. An accountant at heart, she enjoys finding the correlation between business and the gospel while mentoring and training students in their love for their campuses.
