Zion Kuriyama is a Japanese "jack of all trades," with a Canadian passport, married to an American! Kailyn is crafty and caring, with a fire of faith that surprises those who mistake her quiet for timid.
We have been in YWAM since 2010 and have traveled all around the world sharing what we believe in. From Hawaii to Kansas City, we discovered we had out-taught our experience, which drove us to serve in Jordan and live out the YWAM foundational value of "do first, then teach." We are currently in YWAM Colorado Springs working with the BAM (Business As Missions) department, where we coach and teach in schools and disciple young men and women on the campus for the nations.
Zion has a passion for pioneering, championing, and business as missions. His goals are to alleviate poverty and provide long-term, holistic spiritual transformation within the 10/40 window. He loves to get his hands dirty and dive straight into the matter of things.
Kailyn has a passion for hospitality, the poor, and injustice. She is a voice for the voiceless and a friend in a time of need. Her goal is to see holistic freedom in every category of life — from poverty to physical, spiritual, and mental freedom.
Asa(saurus) is a leader among leaders — fearless and courageous, kind and generous with friends and strangers alike. We can't wait to watch him grow into more than we could ever imagine.
Axel is a Lion at heart, fierce and tender at the same time. WILD and FREE are his MO. Full in every direction — great highs and low lows — but the greatness is calling.
Koa means "valiant warrior," and he lives up to it. Persistent and unrelenting even at his tender age, we believe he'll grow into a bold truth-speaker.
We believe our boys are going to be great leaders and world changers, but more than that, followers of God and expanders of His kingdom.
Watch out world — we can't wait to see the transformation!
We couldn't have done this without your partnership. Thank you.
Zion, Kailyn, Asa, Axel, & Koa
