Missionary Stories - Iona
Read about the missionaries we’ve funded, and the impact they’re having.
My name is Iggie, I’m 25 years old and I’m from England!
I began dreaming of becoming a missionary when I was 10 years old. I was attending my first church camp, and every night in our cabin, our leaders would read us a chapter from a book called “10 Girls Who Changed The World”. Each one of these chapters told the story of a different incredible female missionary, such as Jackie Pullinger and Corrie Ten Boom. Every night, I got so stirred up and excited by their testimonies, and I decided that I would be one of those women!
My passion for evangelism and mission grew and as a teenager I would join in with any outreach I could in my city! At university, I met a Circuit Riders team for the first time, and was blown away by their boldness, passion and how they shared the gospel literally everywhere they went. I hosted their teams eight times over four years as a student, and knew that as soon as I graduated I would join them!
I am now a full-time missionary with Circuit Riders, a grassroots movement aiming to reach our generation with the love of Jesus!
Our team goes to 500+ schools and universities across America, Europe and Africa each year, training and empowering students to reach the lost where they are! We are focused on activating believers, reaching the lost, providing community and calling people into further action.
My role involves organizing tours, evangelistic events and training schools across Europe! These gatherings can range from living room size (15-20 people) to stadiums (10,000+ people!), both with the same vision of reaching Gen Z with the message of Jesus! I do lots of behind the scenes admin and logistics work to make these events happen, such as figuring out venues, transport and accommodation in each location, managing budgets and writing schedules.
I also spend hours on Zoom calls every day, talking and praying with students in different countries who will be hosting our teams. Every year, I lead a 10-week university tour called “Carry the Love” on which I am one of the preachers as well as being an administrator and pastoral leader.
In the past year I have been to 21 countries on 3 different continents and have seen more than 300 salvations and rededications, along with many physical healings, as well as thousands of young people activated to preach the gospel and evangelize in their cities!!
I’m longing to see young people coming together, growing in excitement and courage about sharing the gospel and seeing a wave of new salvation and discipleship spreading all around Europe!
