My name is Judah Pounds, and I am stepping into a full-time call to missions as I join the Circuit Riders team this coming August. My life carries a simple but burning message: what Jesus did in me, He wants to do in others. Everything shifted for me during the Fall DTS with Circuit Riders in 2025, where I had a real encounter with Jesus. In that season, my personal understanding of Him was completely changed and brought deeper than ever before. My faith became real, and my life began to take on new direction and purpose.
Circuit Riders is a missional movement focused on reaching and discipling young people with the Gospel. Through evangelism, training, and outreach—especially on high school and college campuses—they exist to see a generation awakened to Jesus. One of their main initiatives, Carry the Love, sends teams across the nation to call students into real encounters with Him and a lifestyle of living on mission.
As I step into this, I’ll be helping plan and serve on Carry the Love Tours, mobilizing students to encounter Jesus and live transformed lives. I carry a deep passion for Gen Z, as well as LGBTQ individuals in both the U.S. and Europe. I believe every person deserves a real encounter with the love and truth of Jesus. Ever since being on tour, I’ve been especially marked with a burden for European youth—I’ve been burning to see them reached and awakened.
Looking ahead, I feel called toward Europe when the Lord opens that door. I’m preparing now to go wherever He leads and to carry this message across nations. To do this, I’m building a team of financial partners and am currently seeking $3,000 in monthly support to stay fully on the field and committed to this mission.
Financial support helps cover:
        •       Food
        •       Transportation
        •       Rent
        •       Bills
        •       Travel expenses (missions)
        •       Car expenses
