Hello!
My name is Raychel Manko. Legally, it's Rachel. The"y" is the result of once being in middle school, and it has now become a personal preference. I can't imagine myself without it.
A little bit about me:
I'm 22.
I was born in San Antonio, Texas, but I was raised in Boca Raton, Florida.
I'm a recent graduate of the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. Go Gators! I recieved my Bachelor's degree in Public Relations with a double minor in Organizational Leadership for Nonprofits and Elementary Education.
From the beginning of my college career, God gave clear direction that I should work toward eventually doing communications for a Christian humanitarian nonprofit that somehow works with children.
While I am sure that I will one day have a career in full-time ministry, a job seems to be on hold for now.
As I sought the Lord about His plans for me in this upcoming stage of my life, He spoke to me from Isaiah 43:19.
"Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not percieve it?"
I am confident that the Lord is calling me on The World Race during this next, completely open season of my life. God has made it clear to me that He is doing a new thing in His Kingdom and He is doing something new in me as well. I feel so blessed and humbled to be a part of whatever He is doing, and I am excited to allow Him to work in and through me. I can't wait to see the new things He does.
Thank you so much for supporting me and for following my journey.
God bless.
