Jessie Steenkamp

Zula Lodge

Jessie was born in South Africa but has lived in New Zealand for most of her life. She came to know Yeshua in her teenage years and it has impacted her life so deeply that nothing is more important to her than her faith. Her walk with the Lord is deeply rooted in the knowledge that Yeshua changed her life.

Jessie volunteered at the Zula Lodge in Wanaka in 2019 which really grew her understanding of the gospel the way it was intended to be understood. She grew in maturity of her faith so much in this season and it was in this time (19th Jan 2020) that Jessie was baptised in the Albert Town river. 

As she volunteered, her passion for the Jewish people continued to grow. She has done some biblical Hebrew studies and desires to also be more fluent in modern Hebrew in the future. She is excited to be back as part of the team working at the Zula again. Her heart is to see the Israelis coming to New Zealand saved. She loves connecting with Israelis, building relationships, and is excited for opportunities to share the Gospel. She doesn’t just want opportunities to share the gospel but to journey with people as they go through life, to be a listener, someone who cares deeply about their hurt. Her heart is to serve through Celebrate Messiah’s Zula Lodge ministry in order that the light of Christ may permeate through her. She is always eager to learn and grow in her faith and eager to serve with a true servant heart.   

Jessie is a humble, quietly working, team player who lights up the room with her presence. Jessie is a very serious believer in Yeshua and is a very intentional, conscientious person who seeks to build others up in all that she does. In her spare time, Jessie is a lover of all creative things, thus, loves to draw and paint. She feels led too that this talent is a gift from God to share with others and be a blessing to those she is surrounded by.
