Meet the Baias

Hi! We’re Tiago and Mia Baia. We got married in the summer of 2025, and our shared passion is simple: to see God’s Kingdom advanced in every area of life—whether in missions, music, women’s ministry, or the workplace.

Mia serves full-time with YWAM Harpenden, where she works behind the scenes in the ministries that keep the base running. She’s also part of Brave Love, a movement that equips women to understand their biblical identity, dive deep into the Word, and be sent out to bring the love of Jesus into their homes, schools, workplaces, and the nations. She also leads worship and co-writes worship songs with Tiago, with a heart to see worship and missions woven together.

Mia first felt called to missions at 19 and has since lived in several places, serving in ministries that reach women, children, worship, and even coffee shops.

Tiago was called into missions at 18 and served full-time with YWAM Harpenden for several years before stepping back to work and provide for our family. He’s a skilled barista who sees his workplace as his current mission field—bringing Jesus into everyday encounters. Tiago continues to serve in worship at both our local church and the YWAM base, and dreams of returning to full-time missions in the future, particularly in the areas of music and media.

Together, we carry a vision to combine the arts and missions—writing music that points people to Jesus, discipling creatives, and equipping the next generation of believers to live boldly for the gospel.

Our Next Steps

For the next two years, we’re committed to serving faithfully at YWAM Harpenden. We’re also staying open and expectant for whatever God has next.

We’re inviting you to prayerfully consider partnering with us—through prayer, encouragement, or financial support—as we pursue the call God has placed on our lives to make Jesus known in every sphere we step into.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us!

With love,

Tiago & Mia Baia
