Hey y’all! My name is Annika Pape and I am a missionary serving the Lord with YWAM (Youth With A Mission)!
The Lord had put missions on my heart while growing up and after high school, but I explored other options because I never thought it would be possible to be sustained as a missionary. Then in January of 2023, I felt the Lord clearly call me into full-time missions while I was serving at YWAM Kona. I served there for 9 months from September ‘22 to June ‘23 as a 7th grade homeroom/assistant teacher. After that, I officially started my missionary journey in September of ‘23 when I did a Discipleship Training School at YWAM Mazatlan, Mexico. My DTS outreach was 2 months long in Mexico and the Amazons and I got to see the Lord work in beautiful ways.
I am passionate about leading and discipling the youth to come to know Jesus in a personal way and to find fullness of life in Him! This is what I hope to do in missions as well as whatever else the Lord calls me to do. God has also given me a heart for people of different nations and I love being able to share the love of Jesus with people who don’t know Him. Those are just a few reasons why I’m so excited to become a full-time missionary! :)
In September ‘24, I will return to YWAM Mazatlan to do a three month internship and then Lord-willing, commit to being on staff there for the next 2 years. This will help me grow and develop as a missionary through serving the Lord on the YWAM base, in the city of Mazatlan, and leading DTS outreach teams of young people to the nations to share the Gospel and build God’s Kingdom. I have felt the Lord calling me to go back to YWAM Mazatlan and serve Him there and I am so excited for all that He has planned for me to do there.
Would you consider partnering with me as I serve the Lord through YWAM in these upcoming months and years?
If you feel led to partner with me, I will firstly need your prayers! I can do nothing on my own and there is constantly a battle between the dark and light kingdom, so I need your prayers to help me walk by the Spirit and do what God calls me to do each day.
Secondly, to serve in the areas God has called me to, I need financial support. All YWAM staff are volunteers and raise their own support. If you feel led to give, you can give a one-time donation or become a monthly supporter so that I can be sustained in my ministry and keep serving the Lord. I want to ask if you could pray and consider supporting me monthly ($10, $40, $100 etc.) however much the Lord leads you to give. As a new missionary, I am starting to build my financial support system and I would be honored and so grateful if you would support me in this way!Â
Thank you for being here and for being a part of my journey in missions as I serve our beautiful savior Jesus Christ. It blows my mind that I get to work with Jesus every day! What a joy it is to be His child and His vessel of love and hope to the world around us.
Love in Christ,
Annika Pape
