Hi everyone! I’m Kennedy Patterson, and a full-time missionary with Circuit Riders, a ministry based in Huntington Beach, California. Circuit Riders is a Youth With A Mission (YWAM)-affiliated organization and specifically focuses on reaching the next generation—high school and college students—with the Gospel through evangelism, training, and discipleship.
The mission of Circuit Riders is simple but powerful: to save the lost, revive the saved, and train them all. We do this through worship gatherings, discipleship schools, local and international outreach tours, and campus movements that ignite passion for Jesus across America and beyond. Everywhere we go, we’re seeing young people radically transformed by the love of God and stepping into their calling to carry the Gospel boldly.
I have such a heart for those in Gen Z who are searching for true freedom but are bound by the instant gratification and false promises of this world. I want to see them encounter the only true satisfaction—found in the freedom that Jesus offers—which is everything Circuit Riders aims to do. I’m also especially passionate about seeing women live the way God originally designed them to: in full surrender and submission to Him, while also walking in boldness and becoming world-shakers for the Kingdom. This aligns closely with Circuit Riders’ women’s ministry, Brave Love, which calls women into their God-given identity with courage, clarity, and conviction.
I feel deeply called to this mission because I believe our generation is hungry for truth, freedom, and real purpose. I’ve seen firsthand how God can take a life that feels stuck or broken and bring total transformation—and I want to be part of helping others experience that. Circuit Riders creates the space for that to happen. It’s a ministry marked by urgency, purity, and total surrender to what God is doing in this generation—and I’m honored to be joining full-time staff.

As a full-time missionary, I am responsible for raising my financial support. I’m currently building a team of monthly partners to help sustain this mission long-term. My goal is to raise $2,500/month and I’m trusting God to bring individuals and families who want to sow into this next generation—whether it’s through $25, $50, $100/month or whatever the Lord puts on your heart. I’d be so grateful for your partnership—whether through monthly giving, prayer, or helping spread the word. If you have any other questions, I would be happy to answer— you can contact me at:
Thank you so much for your consideration and support!
