Sara Fay SAUDER
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Sara Fay was born and raised in a Christian home in Ontario , Canada . She has worked in a variety of administrative roles for several Christian ministries and mission organizations. After completing her DTS in 1988, she went on to staff and consequently lead schools. Sara Fay has led outreaches to various locations including the Caribbean , South-East Asia , and North Africa .
Since completing a School of Strategic Missions , Sara Fay has had a real burden to see workers equipped and sent out to the most unreached areas of the world. She also has a passion to see students and staff grow in their knowledge and application of the Word of God. This was enhanced through her completion of a School of Biblical Studies . Sara Fay's teaching and training of DTS students and staff across Canada , and her various leadership roles within Canada clearly reflect these two passions.
Susan grew up in Eastern Washington State in a family that doesn't know
the Lord. She became a Christian at age 16, and even then the Lord began
to speak to her about serving Him full time. In college she knew she was
called to Missions, but thinking she should get some security for the
future first began working awhile, to gain a permanent teaching
certificate. After a few years of not being able to reach her goals, and
beginning to drift , she finally realized that the Lord wanted her to
trust HIM for her future, and that delayed obedience is disobedience.
After that she worked with her church for a short time before going to
serve in YWAM Nepal. Since that time (May 1988) she has served in many
roles in YWAM Kathmandu including leading DTS's and serving on the
leadership in Nepal, and for some time has been the Training Director in
Kathmandu. Her passion is to see young people know God intimately and be
discipled and that discipleship to be multiplied so that they can bring
change to their nations and beyond.
