Hey guys! My name is Ross Van Gorder. I love camping, music, and the outdoors. I have a passion for helping out those in need, and I love meeting new people.

Jesus is my main man. I love glorifying him through service and I especially have a passion for helping the homeless. I believe God has pointed me towards helping out the less fortunate for a reason; He is leading me towards working in ministry. I gave my life to Christ this past summer while preparing to embark on my mission trip to El Salvador. Since that day, I have felt His calling for me to be his disciple (whether that was in my hometown or overseas). He has been pushing me towards doing His work.

I am so excited to have this opportunity to serve Him for nine months! If you would have told me two years ago that I was going to go on a nine month long mission trip after I graduated, I would have called you crazy. God has taken the life I used to live and done a full 180 with it for the better. I am so unbelievably grateful for this opportunity to go share the gospel and help out those in need in Guatemala, Lesotho and Cambodia.

Thank you so much for your support,

Ross Van Gorder
