Hello! We are Eli and Sakurashun Whitesell 

We are full-time missionaries serving with Youth With A Mission, based out of Lausanne, Switzerland. Our primary ministry is centered around discipleship, worship, and hospitality. We also serve in equipping worship leaders out of YWAM Lausanne's School of Worship, which has served and trained missionaries and worship leaders around the world. Through worship leadership and discipleship, we serve on our home base in Lausanne, in local churches, ministries, and communities. 

In addition to full time ministry in YWAM Lausanne we also have a long-term vision for seeing a transformed and renewed Japanese church and have served in many different ministries throughout Japan. We have taken a team to Japan already and are planning on taking more teams in the future to see more and more Japanese come to know the Lord. 

To support our full time ministry, we have a monthly goal of $5,000 or $60,000 a year to cover housing, food, health insurance, and other costs of living. 

If you would like to partner alongside us, we would love to have you on our support team!

Matthew 28:18-20 "18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Blessings,
