Hi friends! My name is Jesse Gerth and I serve as a full-time missionary with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in Kona, Hawaii.

I staff a collaborative non-profit missions school and organization called Fire and Fragrance empowered by Youth With A Mission. Our focus is worship, intercession, raising up believers, reaching the unreached, and training to be missionaries. We want to inspire a generation to look like Jesus, and most importantly, to love like Jesus!

I attended their DTS (Discipleship Training School) in September 2023 where God marked me for The Great Commission and filled me with a burning passion to see unreached people come to know the one true living God, Jesus.

I just returned from leading a 3 month mission trip to the wonderful country of TURKEY. Every day we would go to the streets, mosques, and even schools evangelizing and telling everybody the Gospel. We brought back many beautiful testimonies from Turkey; my favorite was a man we met from Turkmenistan (a very dangerous closed nation) who gave his life to Jesus and got baptized in the Black Sea! This was absolutely CRAZY to witness. God is MOVING in the nations and the harvest is ripe!

This summer, I will be heading back to Hawaii to staff the upcoming DTS, and lead another mission to an unknown location somewhere in the world; possibly back to the Middle East or maybe somewhere new!

As I am commissioned into this next season of my life, I ask that you would prayerfully consider partnering with me financially. I believe that the Lord has called me to be a messenger of the Gospel proclaiming the Good News to the unreached people of the world, and as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:14: “those who proclaim the Gospel are to get their living from the Gospel.” As Jesus commissioned His disciples out two by two, insisting that they do not bring normal necessities such as their bag and staff, He promises provision on the basis of faith, for “the worker is worthy of his support.” - Matthew 10:9-10

I believe with full faith that the Lord will provide through the generosity of His children. As I’m getting ready to follow Jesus into full time missions, I’m asking for your financial support, “Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.“ (Philippians 4:17) Your support to me is an investment on your behalf, and as you give, there will be fruit and blessings delivered in your lives as well.

Thank you everyone in advance for your radical generosity in prayer and financial support. Whether it’s one time, or a monthly partnership, all donations are greatly appreciated!

May Christ be with you,

Jesse Gerth
