My name is Kelsy Francis, and I am a full-time missionary with Fire & Fragrance South Africa.

YWAM is an international missions organization with the core values of ‘knowing God and making Him known.’ As Fire & Fragrance, a movement within YWAM, we are passionate about raising up a generation whose hearts burn for Jesus and whose lives carry His fragrance to the lost. 

In July 2023, I moved to Potchefstroom, where I serve with Woven, a ministry focused on reaching some of the most lost and overlooked—women in prostitution and gang members. We are committed to addressing areas of injustice by sharing the Gospel, making disciples, and creating practical solutions. With a vision to multiply, our aim is to activate believers to respond.

This work is a beautiful partnership between those on the ground and those who give to see lives transformed. As I commit to serving in Africa, I am building a team of partners who believe in this mission and want to be part of what God is doing here. To sustain long-term, I am trusting God to provide $1,800 in monthly support to cover my living expenses, travel, and the ability to invest in others.

If you feel led to be part of this mission, whether through a monthly donation or a one-time gift, I would be incredibly grateful. Your support is more than provision—it fuels the Gospel, bringing the hope of Christ to those who need it most.

I am in awe of God’s faithfulness in leading me down the path I’ve dreamed of since I was a teenager. Thank you for believing in me, loving me, and making space in your heart for this mission. It’s an honor to do this with you.

May the Lamb receive the reward of his suffering. 

With love,

Kelsy
