Hello! Welcome to my support raising page! If you don’t know me, my name is Natalie Krekeler, and I am graduating from Ohio State University in May. I am the current Team Director for the Delight Ministries chapter at OSU and have been leading since my sophomore fall semester. Delight has been an amazing blessing for me and played a crucial role in my college experience and development and now I have the privilege of working with them full time as a Regional Director! 

Delight is a college women’s ministry that seeks to provide a space for women to feel like they belong, to grow in their faith, and to be fully known. Delight strives to create and sustain Christ-centered women's communities at college campuses across the country. Delight is more than just a bible study! Delight is a community where college-aged women can come together and get real with each other about following Jesus as a college student. Each Delight chapter across the U.S. meets weekly to share stories of God at work. Throughout the semester, chapters have worship nights, community service events, and fun get-togethers that foster relationships. Delight truly believes in the power of stories and doing life together. 

As a Regional Director, I will get to come alongside the Delight leaders at around 25 universities in the Florida region. I will be serving as a mentor and resource to other Delight leaders and chapters to ensure that each chapter can thrive on their college campus! As a student-led ministry, it is vital that college women have the opportunity to be mentored, as they have a unique opportunity to be a leader, raising up strong disciples of Christ, on their very own campus. 

My goal is to raise $45,000 to cover the cost of the position as guided by Delight headquarters and my support raising coach. This amount covers my living expenses plus all ministry expenses, including travel and transportation, for 10 months. My goal is to be fully funded by August 1, before the start of fall semester for the schools I will be working with. 

Delight not only changed my relationships with others, but ultimately with the Lord and changed my life! As being involved in Delight since the fall of my freshman year and being in leadership for 3 years now, I have experienced firsthand how God moves through Delight. I believe in the power of vulnerability and sharing our stories. I will be encouraging and empowering college women to be bold and to use their voice on their campus and in their Delight chapters to make a difference and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is exactly why I am excited and believe God has called me to be a Regional Director. This position has been on my heart since I was a sophomore. The Lord has affirmed in so many ways that He has called me to work for Delight Ministries during this next year. I appreciate you taking the time to invest in me and to see the ways that God has worked in my life. I would love for you to consider partnering with me financially and prayerfully to help me launch into this incredible ministry. Thank you!
