After spending a few years in the campaign and elections field, Ashley Guzik followed God's nudge and took a leap of faith to accept a job at the San Diego Rescue Mission, a faith-based shelter and rehabilitation program for those experiencing homelessness. With a quick stint assisting the Development Team, Ashley transitioned into the Church and Community Engagement department, where she serves as the Manager of Church Partnerships. For the past four years at the Rescue Mission, Ashley has inspired local churches to take an active role in healing the San Diego region from homelessness. Ashley and her team help equip churches with outreach training, resources, and tools to love our unsheltered neighbors as kindly and compassionately as Christ would. From speaking at Sunday church services and Vacation Bible Schools around the County, Ashley feels encouraged by the spirit of revival coming into San Diego's pews and streets. 
 
Ashley grew up in San Clemente, CA, and earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Peace Studies from Point Loma Nazarene University. She currently attends Park Hill Church in Point Loma and is working towards her Master of Ministry and Leadership degree from Western Seminary. Ashley will be married to her fiancé, Bryce, this summer. They're excited to continue their service to Christ and his Kingdom together.
