Hello! My name is Marichie Barbasa, and I am a Campus Ministry Intern at Pearlside Church, located in Hawaii, USA. I graduated with a Master's in Public Health, specializing in Social and Behavioral Health Sciences, from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa.
My involvement in Every Nation started in 2017 when a friend invited me to a service at the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus as a college student. It was that night that I gave my life to Jesus. I was looking for hope and purpose in the wrong things, but that's when I found my hope and purpose in Jesus Christ. It was other campus missionaries who walked with me through my faith journey, and it empowered me to do the same.
After completing my first mission trip to Japan, I felt God's call to leave my full-time job in public health to pursue campus ministry. I am passionate and honored to help engage, establish, equip, and empower the next generation of college students, especially international students, to know more about God's love through Christ-centered relationships.
Thank you so much for your prayers and partnership with our passion for reaching college students from all nations. Together, we can change the campus and change the world!
