Hi, my name is Amanda Carvalho.

I am a full-time missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Harpenden in the UK and have worked with YWAM the past 6 years. I grew up in a missionary family and was surrounded by people whose passion was simple: to know Jesus and make Him known. I stepped into full-time missions with a desire to see my generation encounter Jesus, discover their identity in Him, and live boldly for the Gospel.

 Today I serve in base leadership at YWAM Harpenden while also being a part of  Neighbours & Nations, a touring ministry that mobilises young people across the UK and Europe into a missional lifestyle. Our teams partner with churches, host gatherings, and send outreach teams to call young believers into wholehearted surrender to Jesus. My role includes mentoring and training emerging leaders, coordinating outreach teams locally and internationally, and helping shape systems and culture that enable missionaries to serve effectively.

 As a full-time missionary, my work is made possible through the prayer and financial partnership of others. I believe God is awakening a generation that is hungry to know Him and live boldly for Him.

Your support allows me to continue mentoring young leaders, sending teams into mission fields, and helping create environments where missionaries can thrive and serve effectively.

Amanda
