Leah Nelson is a missionary with Every Nation Ministries and serves as the Administrative Coordinator for the Schools of Empowerment. Originally from Maryland, she grew up in North Carolina. At the age of seventeen, Jesus became real to her and she committed her life to follow Him as her Lord and Savior. Shortly thereafter, she felt the Lord call her to serve Him in full-time missions. In 2012 she graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and worked at the North Carolina Central University and Duke University equipping and ministering to college students. Concurrently, she began working with the Schools of Empowerment.

She travels nationally and internationally, seeing hearts and lives dramatically healed and transformed by the power of Christ.
