Rabe, Rachel

Rachel has always had a passion for international missions. After she graduated from college with a degree in classics, she felt God calling her toward full-time mission work. She completed a yearlong internship in Japan, where she was able to teach and mentor students.

God placed a deep love for Japan on Rachel’s heart. While there, she was struck by how lost the country is, with fewer than 1 percent of the population professing faith in Christ. But she was encouraged to see that Japan is also very full of hope, with a growing community of believers. Rachel is both ecstatic and humbled to get to be a part of raising up the next generation of Christians in Japan, who will then go forth and impact their country for the Lord.

Rachel will return to Covenant Community School International (CCSI) in Chiba, Japan, with a newly completed master’s degree in education. At CCSI, she will continue teaching, encouraging, and discipling students. She will also have opportunities to witness and reach out through English classes and relationships with local non-believers. Rachel is excited to be a part of what the Lord is doing in one of the world’s most under-reached countries.
