Hi! My name is John Gabriel Luther.

I am a missionary serving in the South Pacific with the organization Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Originally from North Carolina, USA, I’m now based in Whangarei, New Zealand—calling the YWAM Zion/Northland base my home.

The heart of every YWAM base is to “know God and make Him known,” and this is primarily done through walking with young adults as they grow in their faith—most commonly through a Discipleship Training School (DTS). As a staff member at Zion/Northland, I’ll be walking alongside both students and staff, encountering Jesus through lectures, small groups, street evangelism, worship, intercession, outreach, and so much more.

Though I’m based in New Zealand, following the Lord has taken me across the Pacific—especially to Indonesia and the Pacific Islands. I believe deeply in meeting people in their own culture and language, and I’m passionate about helping others know the Bible in its full context. I’m so excited to be part of what God is doing in these places!

YWAM is a volunteer ministry, which means I rely on support—both spiritual and financial—from others. I’m currently raising funds to help cover staff fees, outreach missions across the South Pacific, and my basic living expenses abroad (such as food, health care, and travel).

Whether you feel led to give a one-time donation or partner with me through monthly support, every bit helps—and I’m incredibly grateful.

Thank you for your time and consideration. God bless!

💛 – John Gabriel
