Hello Friends and Family!

My name is Adam Shultz and I'm a 19 year old missionary from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

I completed my DTS (Discipleship Training School) with YWAM Lancaster in the fall of 2025 where I encountered the Lord in POWERFUL ways! During my outreach to Nepal, I fell in love with global missions and going on wild adventures with/for Jesus!

In the middle of my DTS, God gave me SO much clarity and direction for my future as His follower. The Lord clearly called me to remain in missions and move somewhere long term, I just didn't know where. Just several days after feeling confident about this calling, I learned of a vision YWAM Lancaster has of sending 72 missionaries to Central Asia, specifically the Fergana Valley in Uzbekistan. I viewed this as my perfect opportunity to fulfill my calling and help fulfill this vision for YWAM.

However, it will take some time before I am prepared to move. In preparation, I will be attending the CBS (Catalyst Bible School) at YWAM Lancaster in the fall/winter of '26-'27. Then I plan on joining staff at the Lancaster base where I will go on rally tours across the US, staff Training Schools, help mobilize long term missionaries and definitely grow a LOT in my knowledge and understanding of the Lord!

As of now, the hope is to make a 2 year commitment to living in Uzbekistan starting in late 2028 or early '29. I'd most likely go with a group of 3-4 other missionaries and our main focus would be forming 'Jesus Groups' made up of young people who are willing to go against cultural norms and follow Jesus! Weight lifting and fitness is a big passion of mine so it is my dream to start or own a gym overseas and use that for ministry!

I would greatly appreciate if you would consider joining my team through prayer or financial support! Partner with me as we long to see the Great Commission fulfilled in this generation!

Thank you SO much for your time and attention,

Adam
