Her job was to homeschool three American missionary children so the parents could focus on church planting among two specific Malagasy people groups. God also opened up ministry opportunities for Rachel to tell Bible stories in Malagasy to neighborhood children and to invest in a Malagasy club basketball team. Throughout her time teaching the missionary children, she fell in love with teaching Bible curriculum and watching her students grow in knowledge of God and His Word. Next, God has called Rachel to pursue a Masters in Christian Education from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina.
