Hello
Meet Faith Nelson
Staff Missionary at Ponderosa

About Faith
Faith Nelson, the 25-year-old daughter of Jeff and Ann Nelson, has a deep and lifelong connection to Ponderosa Bible Camp, having been born and raised in this unique environment of faith and service. After graduating from high school, Faith pursued a career as a medical assistant, gaining valuable experience over the past six years working in both family medicine and dermatology.
​
Although her professional path has been in healthcare, Faith's heart has always been in ministry. Her passion for missions is evident as she faithfully serves in Honduras on short-term mission trips at least once a year. Despite the demands of her medical career, Faith’s love for Ponderosa never faded. She would often spend her evenings back at camp, leading worship or jumping in wherever she was needed after a full day at the doctor’s office.
​
Now, Faith’s dream of serving at Ponderosa full-time has become a reality! She reached 95% of her support needs and officially joined our staff on December 30, 2024. In her role as Administrative Office Assistant and Guest Group Coordinator, Faith will bring her versatile skills to the office, assist with Released Time, help manage both the Gift Shop and Snack Shop for Summer Camp and Guest Rental Groups, and serve as a Lifeguard. Her heart for service and ministry is sure to be a blessing in every area she touches.
​
Faith is still trusting the Lord to provide the remaining 5% of her support. Would you consider partnering with her through monthly giving?
​
Your support will not only help Faith continue in her calling but also allow Ponderosa to keep impacting lives for Christ.
