Kia Ora, I’m Josh Jellard, and I’m privileged to serve as a missionary based in Potchefstroom, South Africa, with Fire and Fragrance South Africa (FFSA). My heart beats for the next generations, particularly Generation Z, because I believe they hold immense potential to make a profound impact. Connecting with them meaningfully in their spiritual journeys is essential, and my mission is to share the love of Christ in ways that resonate with their unique experiences and challenges.

At FFSA, I’ll be staffing discipleship programs specifically designed to equip Gen Z with a foundation in discipleship. Knowing that this generation values authenticity and relevance, I strive to create an environment where they feel safe to explore their faith, ask tough questions, and grow. Through mentorship and engaging activities, I aim to empower them to deepen their relationship with God and discover their unique callings.

My commitment to the Great Commission drives me to engage with Gen Z through outreach initiatives that help them build a biblical worldview. This includes prayer meetings, worship, local missions, evangelistic efforts, and fostering community through a biblical perspective. By doing so, I hope to inspire young people to make a lasting impact in their communities and even in other nations, if that’s where the Lord calls them.

This journey is one I can’t walk alone, and I would love for you to partner with me in several ways. First and foremost, your prayers are invaluable. Please pray that God would continue to open hearts and doors as we reach people in Potchefstroom and beyond. Secondly, if you feel led to support this mission financially, your help would sustain and expand these efforts, making it possible to reach even more young people. Finally, your words of encouragement mean so much, reminding both myself and those I serve that we are part of a larger, caring community.

I believe every young person has a role in fulfilling the Great Commission, and their voices are essential in shaping the future of the church. Together, let’s encourage this next generation to step into their identities as leaders and followers of Christ. I’m excited about what God is doing, and I invite you to join me on this journey of discipleship, love, and purpose.

Josh
