Hello Everyone! My name is Teya Bale, and this fall until next spring I will be serving with Circuit Riders while attending their CR experience, which is a 5 and a half month training, equipping, and sending school. Circuit Riders, based out of Huntington Beach CA, is a Youth With A Mission ministry and training community that launches movements to reach the next generation.

A little bit about me: I will be 20 years-old this August. I was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and at the age of eight I was adopted into an American family and moved to Michigan. The call of missions in my life has been a seed that the Lord planted in my heart. In both my biological parents’ home and my adopted parents’ home, there was cultivated the Truth of the One we call Friend and Savior. At a young age, my heart desired to serve God by showing Him that I could be someone He could count on. Growing up, my adopted mother blended homeschooling with public school. It was during my homeschooled years when she would read to us about some of the great missionaries of our past such as Mary Slessor and Gladys Alyward, Nate Saint, and Hudson Taylor, that the Lord transformed my longing to serve Him into a burning desire to truly walk with Him. Amy Carmichael and Elizabeth Ellliot were women

whose stories the Lord still uses in my life to role model how to fight for love and live a life that perpetrates forgiveness and true compassion.Through all this, God has revealed to me His heart of Love, and that all steps of obedience to love Him and others and every “yes” for Him are big things in His eyes. As the Lord is changing my perspective to more align with His and forming in me a mind that is Christ-centered on serving through obedience; I truly believe my next “yes” is to enter this season with Circuit Riders.

With that being said, I would love it if you would partner alongside me in my “yes”, whether that would be in gifts of prayer or financial help. I truly believe that ministry is not meant to be done alone and as the Lord directs you I would be honored if you would join me in His heart for missions.

The apostle Paul says it best when speaking about those who sowed into God's mission through his life: “The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose.” (1 Corinthians 3:8)

Here are some things to pray for:

● Physical, emotional, and spiritual strength and perseverance

● Unity within community living (I will be living in a house with potentially about 10 other

girls)

● Unity within the school as a whole

● Open willing and obedient hearts for those we may encounter as we share the love and

good news of Jesus

● Smooth transportation (cars and flights)

● For those of us going in and out of country: prayer for no legal complications

● God's hand over all that we do, learn, and the encounters we have (on mission and with

one another)

These are the main aspects of the ministry that I am raising support for:

● Giving (tithes, offering, and generosity)

● Housing/rent

● Groceries

● Transportation/Tour Fees (car and flights)

● Class materials

● Books/school venue costs

● And the overall existence of being a missionary in California and on the road!

Please pray and consider how you would like to support me in my time with Circuit Riders. May the Peace and Love that is our Christ Jesus be made known to every heart!

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

Blessings,

Teya Bale
