My name is Mallorie Nicole Ramsey and I am 23 years old. I live in Ada Oklahoma where I am the secretary for my church, The River IPHC. I’m a lover of people and believe that through the unfailing love of the Father we are free from bondage and can live in sweet peace and inexpressible joy. It is that love that I long to carry and lavish over those that I meet.
Advocate of laughter, deep conversations, hearing people’s stories, walking in my identity as a child of God, child-like faith, wildflowers, antiquing, coffee, chap stick, crocheting, painting, sunsets, sushi, and hiking.
Missions has always been my deepest passion. People always ask me when I felt called to missions, and it’s really hard to pin point a specific day or time in my life that I felt called. It’s as if it was built into my DNA to have a heart for the world. However, my favorite story is one that my mom recalls of a very young me coming to her, matter-of-factly after church one morning, and telling her that I was going to be a missionary one day.
It was right after I graduated High school in 2011 when I went on my first missions trip. Me and a couple of girls I went to high school with decided we were going to go love on some kiddos in a small village in Guatemala. I still remember the excitement coursing through my body as I boarded my first plane; I could hardly keep myself from jumping out of my skin. I was finally stepping my feet into the promises that God had been whispering to me for so long. Even though I ended up being unbelievably sick, I don’t think I have ever felt so at home, than when I was washing the feet of Guatemalans. It was confirmed in my spirit that serving the least of these, is what God had called me to do.
Two years later God took me to beautiful Thailand, the land of smiles. My heart broke as I looked into the eyes of the Thai and saw so much spiritual oppression. There, God taught me just how important it is to rely on Him to be my strength, even though I may feel overwhelmed by my weaknesses. It was in Thailand when the Holy Spirit planted the seed in my heart to do the World Race.
In 2015 God romanced my heart in Haiti. Maybe this is a story I will be able to share with you later, but simply put, it was in Haiti when I caught a glimpse at just how much the Father loves his children. I saw his love in my Leader Shannon, as she spoke victory and life over my life and the circumstances I was facing. I saw his love in the dying woman my team and I sang and prayed over. Even though we craved her earthly healing, we rejoiced that she was entering the very presence of her King; we knew that she was receiving the ultimate healing. I saw His love in my little spunky June’s wild eyes as she decorated her face in stickers and smiled from ear to ear.
My heart was made for the nations. I was created to look into people and see them the way the Father sees them. To be Jesus to those that need him.
But, why the world Race?
It’s simple. God told me to do the world Race, and although for the past two years I’ve been on the fence on whether or not I should do it, I decided to kick fears butt and walk on the water with Jesus. For a while now I have been yanking the drawing pen from God’s hands, trying to figure out, plan and orchestrate my own life. I’m done with that. I want to say yes to the Father every time, no matter how crazy, uncomfortable, or foolish it may sound or look like. I have a passion to love on the least of these. To feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, cast out demons, and love the unlovable. To simply be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Acts 20:24–However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
Matthew 10:8–Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
