Hi, we’re Adam, Danae, and our four-year-old daughter, Ilona — a family called to bring Christ’s hope to the world through music and medicine. For years we’ve served faithfully in our local church and community — Adam as a worship leader and Danae as a nurse — helping people encounter God’s presence and compassion. Now, God is inviting our family to take that calling beyond our borders by joining Youth With A Mission (YWAM) full-time, beginning with their Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Kona, Hawai‘i.

Our vision, Melody & Mercy Missions, is to unite the healing power of worship and the compassion of healthcare — so that hearts and bodies alike can be restored in Jesus’ name. At YWAM’s University of the Nations, we’ll be helping equip the next generation of missionaries in these very areas: Adam will teach and mentor worship leaders, while Danae will help train and care for medical teams serving communities around the world. Even little Ilona will be growing and learning alongside us as part of YWAM’s family community — discovering early what it means to live on mission with Jesus.

We can’t do this alone. As full-time missionaries, our family will rely fully on the prayers and financial partnership of those who believe in this mission. Your support makes it possible for us to teach, serve, and send others into the nations — multiplying the reach of the Gospel through both music and medicine. Every prayer, word of encouragement, and gift directly helps sustain our family and advance the mission God’s placed in our hearts.

We’re deeply grateful for each person who chooses to stand with us — not just as donors, but as friends and co-laborers in what God is doing. Together, we can bring melody and mercy to the nations.

Adam, Danae & Ilona
