Hello!
My name is Ethan Lovelace, and I’m a full-time missionary with Fire & Fragrance YWAM Nashville (Youth With A Mission).
While YWAM is the global movement I serve with, Fire & Fragrance is our unique expression. We believe that worship and prayer are the catalyst for a missions movement—so we spend hours in the presence of God, contending for this generation, the church, our nation, and the unreached. Alongside that, we train and send those who are willing to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth. Our motto is simple but life-altering: “To know God and to make Him known.” We are raising up laid-down lovers of Jesus who will go anywhere for the sake of the Gospel—and by God’s grace, YWAM is now the largest missions-sending movement in the world.
In 2021, I did my own Discipleship Training School with YWAM, and during that time, I encountered both the deep brokenness of the world and the radical love of a God who came to save it. That’s when I knew I was called to missions for life. I believe radical reformation is coming to the Church, and it begins with a burning revelation: every soul is worthy of hearing the name of Jesus.
Today, I serve in several key roles with Fire & Fragrance Nashville:
Discipling and training worship leaders to step into their full calling and anointing
Leading worship for our community gatherings and outreach nights
Songwriting to release the sound of Heaven over this generation
Leading outreaches to the nations
Serving on the leadership team for our high school camps and ministries
This isn’t a part-time commitment. It’s a full-time mission. As missionaries, we don’t receive a salary—we live by faith and rely on the generosity of those who believe in the mission. I’m currently building a team of monthly financial partners and prayer warriors who want to be part of what God is doing in and through this generation.
We believe the Great Commission can be fulfilled in our lifetime (Matthew 28:16–20). The question is:
“Who will say yes?” (Isaiah 6:8)
Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me? I’d be honored to walk in this mission together—with you on the team.
With gratitude,
Ethan Lovelace
