Hi! My name is Bryce Gaut.

Last September I left my home in San Diego, CA on an awesome journey to Australia to go to a mission organization called YWAM (Youth With A Mission). I stayed there for eight months and was able to complete two YWAM schools - the Discipleship Training School and the Discipleship Bible School. I learned so much in those schools, like how to actually go out in the streets and evangelize and also how evangelism is more than just going out and sharing the Gospel with others—it’s a lifestyle. We have the opportunity every day to evangelize to show others who Jesus is by the way we live, speak. and act. My biggest takeaways from those schools was learning to love God so much more and learning to actually listen and have open ears to what God is saying in all areas of my life.

For two-and-a-half of those eight months, I had the chance to go on outreach with ten other students! Our team traveled to Vietnam, where we served in local churches, shared our testimonies of how we came to love Jesus, played soccer with the college students, and had the opportunity to really get to know them and share the Gospel with them.

Now that I am back in the United States, God has put it on my heart to go back to Australia and serve at the YWAM base through their two-year Staffing Internship. YWAM Gold Coast has a dream of growing and being able to have more students attend their schools each year. But they can’t do that unless they have more staff members who are willing to serve and invest in those students. I have prayed long and hard about this decision, and I am ready to commit the next two years of my life serving the Lord by serving the YWAM Gold Coast base.

My desire is to help YWAM reach more young people while mentoring and encouraging students in their faith journeys of following Jesus.

In order for this opportunity to become a reality, I need to raise $800 per month to help cover my housing, food, ministry expenses, and outreach costs so that I can help lead outreach teams and continue serving wherever God calls me.

I can't do this alone. This journey is only possible through the prayers, encouragement, and financial support of people who believe in what God is doing through YWAM Gold Coast. I would be grateful if you would prayerfully consider partnering with me as I step into this calling.

Most importantly, I ask for your prayers—that God would continue to guide me, provide for every need, and use this season in my life to impact the lives of students and young people who are seeking Him.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering being a part of what God is doing through this ministry. Your support, whether through prayer or financial giving, means more than you know.
