Hello, and blessings! I truly pray that you, your loved ones, and all that your hand touches are beyond blessed!
My name is Victor Miguel Rivera! I am a missionary evangelist who believes in equipping the body of Christ through discipleship, training, and Sending! I am currently stationed in Australia and called to serve as a bridge between America and Australasia, Oceana, and the Pacific!
For those who may not know my story, you can watch a full video of my testimony by going on the Australian YouTube Ministry, “Deliverance Down Under,” and searching, “Criminal Occultist finds Jesus after his throat is cut | Victor’s Jesus Testimony.”
But, just as a quick background into my story; I am born and raised in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California. I was born into a non-Christian family with occult practices. I turned to street crime life, was arrested several times, and almost lost my life in many different ways; including being stabbed in the throat at just 16 years old. At 18 years old, I was invited to a Bible study where I accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior! In 2010 I was baptized and joined the Foursquare Church Denomination where I have been a member for over 15 years, serving in several different ways, including being on church staff.
In 2023, I became a full-time missionary and joined YWAM (Youth With A Mission); taking me to several countries around the world to preach the Gospel, including several closed nations!
In July of 2024, I felt led by the Lord to move to Australia and get married. My wife was born and raised in Newcastle, Australia. The local Christian community, YWAM Bases, and Australian Foursquare Denomination accepted us with wide open arms; being invited to share my testimony, preach sermons, and messages all throughout Australia. Here in Australia there is much work to be done! The local churches, local ministries, YWAM Bases, and overall Body of Christ desperately needs workers! I feel compelled to answer the Macedonian call and to respond by saying, “Here am I, Lord. Send me,” - Isaiah 6:8. Pastors and leaders have dreams of re-pioneering ministries, worship events, community outreaches, disciplining a nation and much more! Work of this magnitude requires full-time dedicated missionaries; called by the Lord!
In addition to all of this work, the YWAM/ Para-ministry missions mobilization stadium event, called, “The Send,” is coming to the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia in October of 2027; hoping to gather thousands and answer the call to mobilize a generation for the sake of the Gospel! Even though Australia was a leading nation in the decline of Christianity, the last four years has seen a dramatic growth in Christianity among youth and young adults! Millions need to be discipled, churches need to be planted, missionaries need to be trained, much work needs to be done! The body of Christ in Australia also plays an important role in the region, as missionaries are sent all throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands! Australia is a strategic nation, called to influence surrounding nations to Christ!
Please prayerfully consider partnering with what the Lord is doing in fulfillment of The Great Commission! As you partner with me, you also play an important role in fulfilling the Great Commission! Some are called to Go, and some are called to SEND! This is the partnership! I am called to Go, and partners are called to SEND; through prayer and financial donations! In this partnership we are both fulfilling our part! I ask you to please consider partnering with what the Lord is doing! Amen!
Through intense fasting and prayer, I believe that the Lord has asked me to serve the nation of Australia full-time. This doesn’t mean that my time in America is done; we will absolutely work in America as well. However, for now, I am a missionary to Australia and the Pacific. I believe that the Lord has asked me to trust Him for my salary and let Him provide all that this work requires.
“In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who Proclaim the gospel should get their living By the gospel.” – 1 Corinthians 9:14
“The elders who lead well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, ‘You shall not muzzle the ox while it is threshing,’ and ‘The laborer is worthy of his wages.’” - 1 Timothy 5:17-18
I felt the Lord give me an image of 50/50. Meaning 50 People and just $50 Per Month.
In full transparency, my monthly minimum costs are:
$800 for rent
$100 for cell phone payment
$150 for car insurance
$500 all utilities combined
$800 groceries and markets
Totaling $2,450
50 people donating $50 per month would cover $2,500 monthly costs!
I ask that you may please prayerfully consider partnering with what the Lord is doing! Together we can see a great harvest for the Kingdom, in Australia and the nations! Amen!
“Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few, therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.’”- Matthew 9:37-38
