Meet our Live Simply Interns Rachel and Becca
Rachel Lenzsch
This May I will be graduating from Texas A&M University as an Allied Health major with the goal of pursuing a career in Occupational Therapy. While at A&M I have dedicated my time to a ministry called Young Life Capernaum, where our goal is to share the Gospel with high school students with disabilities. Capernaum has given me the opportunity to pursue real and meaningful friendships with these high school students that will last me a lifetime. I have served for four summers now at a camp called Camp Blessing Texas, which is a Christian camp for kids and adults with special needs. Camp Blessing is where I decided I wanted to commit my life to Jesus and discovered my passion for people with disabilities to know and experience the Lord. Volunteering as an intern for Live Simply for Peru, my desire is to share the love of Christ through serving the children and mothers within the community. I want nothing more than for every person, disability or not, to know that they are loved, cherished, and completely covered by God’s Grace.

After volunteering at a Christian camp for children and adults with disabilities in high school I found my passion and I wanted a future where I could work with those who have special needs. I will graduate from Texas A&M University with a degree in Allied Health and hope to pursue a career in Occupational Therapy. I have spent the last 3 summers working at Camp Blessing, which is a camp for children and adults with special needs. Through my time there I have seen the Lord work in incredible ways as he allows us to be the hands and feet of Christ and share his love so that the campers may know him. I have had some incredible opportunities to take my love for kids and go overseas. I have spent time in Haiti and India volunteering at orphanages and hospitals whose mission is to show the love of Christ to the abandoned and disabled. Through time in these places, working with these precious children that were seen as “the least of these”, I felt the Lord calling me to spend time after I graduated to pour love and truth into children in a different continent. The Lord has been faithful and answered our prayers and given us this great opportunity to travel to Peru volunteering as an intern with Live Simply for Orphans.
