Hi friends!

My name is Hanalei, and I’m a missionary with YWAM Kona (Youth With A Mission). YWAM’s heart is to see young people raised up and sent out to fulfill the Great Commission—Jesus’ call to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:16–20). This is a vision I wholeheartedly believe in. My passion is to see the nations come to know and love Jesus.

I began my journey with YWAM in January 2025 by doing a Discipleship Training School (DTS). During my outreach to Norway, I was blown away by what God is doing beyond the U.S. He truly loves the nations, His inheritance, and He is moving in powerful ways.

After DTS, I felt the Lord call me to join staff with YWAM Kona. This means I’ll be helping to lead others into missions planning outreaches, training and discipling teams, and being a part of lives transformed by encounters with the love of Jesus. I’m so excited to step into this season and watch God work in and through me!

I’m reaching out because I cannot do this alone. I would love to invite you to partner with me, both financially and in prayer, as I step into full-time missions. I’m raising $1,500–$2,000 a month for room, board, and other ministry and living expenses.

Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me as a monthly supporter or through a one-time donation? Every prayer and every gift makes an eternal impact. Together, we are working for the sake of the gospel.

If you’d like to give, you can do so below

Thank you so much for your support it means the world to me. I’m honored to be sent by you, as together we join God in reaching the nations.

If you have any questions or would like to connect, feel free to email me at hcridgway@gmail.com. I’d love to chat with you!

With love and gratitude,

Hanalei Ridgway
