If you’re reading this, then you already know: time is running out. As your eyes move across this page, seconds are slipping by—seconds in which someone still hasn’t heard about the goodness of God. Someone is waiting for hope. Someone is waiting for truth.
What are we waiting for?
We need to go.
My Story
The first time I tried drugs wasn’t in an alley or at a party—it was in the bathroom stall of a church. From age 15 to 21, addiction ruled my life. I tried to fill the ache in my chest with smoke, substances, and anything that promised relief.
But everything changed the night I encountered the love of a Man with holes in His hands at a worship night two years ago. Jesus met me—deeply, personally—and He broke every chain that held me.
Today, I’m not defined by addiction; I’m defined by the arms of a Father and a King.
My name is Michael, I’m 22, and God has given me a burning passion to see young men discover their identity in Christ. I now serve full-time with YWAM Honolulu, a missions organization that trains and sends young missionaries to the nations to preach the Gospel.
What God Is Doing
This past year, I staffed a DTS and helped lead a School of Worship outreach to India, where we trained young believers, equipped local churches, and ran workshops on worship and music.
While in India, something unexpected happened—I was marked by the power of intercession. I watched young men gather to cry out for their families and their nation to encounter Jesus, and it awakened something deep in me.
I want to be a man of prayer, and I want to raise up young men who know the Prince of Peace, stand firm in truth, and carry the Gospel with boldness.
The DTS (Discipleship Training School) is one of the most effective ways to see young people find identity, freedom, and their God-given purpose. And I believe God is calling me to continue discipling, training, and sending out more young men just like me—men who once wandered but are now found.
Why Partnership Matters
Full-time missions is not something anyone does alone. In Scripture, God designed the gospel to advance through senders and goers working together.
Just as missionaries go, the Body of Christ sends—and every person who partners shares in the fruit of the harvest.
Your financial partnership is not simply supporting me;
it is directly investing in young men being set free, discipled, and launched into their God-given callings.
It is sowing into revivals in nations, into prayer movements, into transformed families, and into the spread of the Gospel.
What I’m Raising
I am currently raising $1,500 per month to cover:
• Tithes & giving
• Housing / rent
• Food & meals
• Transportation (car expenses + ministry flights)
• Savings for a future home & family
• Personal care / basic needs
Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me monthly or giving a one-time gift?
Ask the Lord what amount He puts on your heart, and sow it in faith.
“In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.”
— 1 Corinthians 9:14 (ESV)
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for considering partnership. Your generosity is more than support—it is a seed planted in the Kingdom, and God will multiply it.
