Gracie Schauls #3697

Serving In: Japan
Gracie Schauls
Living through the negative effects of her parents’ divorce motivated Gracie to study psychology in college and work in the mental health field afterwards. In 2020 she started working for a Christian residential program for teens who are healing from past trauma. In working there she witnessed people’s lives completely change as a result of living in close community with the body of Christ.

In the past few years, God has been softening Gracie’s heart toward Japan which she learned has a high suicide rate and few mental health resources. In Japanese culture, people generally feel pressured to excel without asking others for help, and going to counseling can feel shameful. “They want relationships really badly, but they can have a hard time being vulnerable,” Gracie said. She doesn’t know where it will lead, but Gracie has committed to following God’s call by joining our team in Japan for an internship in 2024. 

Thank you for partnering with Gracie. Your gift will allow her to go to Japan where she will be able to use her mental health background and passion for Christian community to share the hope of Jesus with Japanese people.
