Hi! My name is Milena Aguilera!

I am 20 years old currently serving in Asia, Hong Kong with YWAM Gateway! I met my boyfriend (Agustin) here and we feel that God is calling us to stay in Hong Kong and from here mobilize to different countries in Asia.

How did I get to missions? I was born in Puerto Rico and raised in YWAM Argentina. My family including my parents: Julio (Argentine) and Sheila (Puerto Rican), and my siblings: Briana and Santiago (Both Argentine), served as a missionary family full time in Argentina but later in 2014 God called us to move to Puerto Rico to start a YWAM base. So, we moved to Puerto Rico, the country I was born in, but didn’t know that much about and later ending up loving.

We continue to serve the Lord, trusting in Him for everything. We have a lot of opportunities to serve the elderly, kids, youth and families and that is when I realized I want to continue to share God’s word and show it in a practical way, not just words.

Why Hong Kong? When I turned 18, I wanted to do my DTS (Discipleship Training School) but I didn’t know where. That year my Godmother (she serves in HK with her husband and children) came to visit us and told me everything about YWAM in HK. In the beginning it was a NO for me, I was so scared and it was really far away from Puerto Rico. But as I prayed I felt God telling me more and more to go to Hong Kong. So suddenly I felt peace and excitement. That is when I decided to go.

Now being here, I realize that people really need God. Some people have never heard about Jesus! And a LOT of them worship their ancestors. I know God sent me here to be a difference and for people to know Him!

What I am planning to do in Hong Kong? Now with my boyfriend Agustin we feel really called to be here in Hong Kong. This is really a Gateway for all Asia and it is really easy to enter other countries. God is constantly reminding us that worship brings a breakthrough and that is what we want to continue to do, bring people closer to God with our songs and worship. Not only that, we also feel called to work with new generations (Babies, Children, Youth, Families). The key of transforming a nation is through them!

Also, we want to have our own missionary family in a near future! So, we hope to continue to make Jesus known! Until the ends of the earth!
