Missionary Helanca Van Heerden DONATE Dear Friends and Family, I'm Helanca van Heerden, a long-term missionary based in Potchefstroom, South Africa, serving with Fire & Fragrance South Africa, a part of the Youth With A Mission (YWAM) organization. Our mission here is simple: to witness the power of the Gospel change South Africa and the rest of Africa! At Fire and Fragrance South Africa, everything we do falls under six core areas: 1. Prayer and Worship : We begin each day, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 to 9:30, in fervent prayer and worship. We recognize that we are completely reliant on the Holy Spirit to move mightily in our midst (Micah 1:11). 2. Evangelism : I am passionate about sharing the story of the Gospel, believing that its message holds the power to bring hope and transformation to lives. Just like it did to my life. 3. Training : We are committed to discipleship, equipping individuals for a life of faith in Christ and preparing them for effective ministry both locally and globally. 4. Media : In a world where hope seems scarce, particularly in South Africa with its prevalent narratives of racism and corruption, we aim to rewrite the story by spreading messages of hope and faith, especially through social media platforms where Gen Z is most engaged. 5. Ending Bible Poverty Now : As a base we recognize the significance of having access to the Bible in one's own language. Therefore, we dedicate a significant portion of our time to translating and delivering the Scriptures to communities where they have yet to be made available in their mother tongues. 6. Mercy Ministries : Inspired by God's heart of compassion for the marginalized and vulnerable, we also seek to meet both the spiritual and practical needs of those we serve, extending love and care to orphans, widows, and others in need. Thank you for considering supporting me in this vital work! If you have any questions or would like to receive newsletters and updates, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at helancavheerden@gmail.com . With gratitude, Helanca van Heerden Donate

Missionary Will Glenister DONATE Hey I'm Will. I am a full time missionary at YWAM Denver. I encountered Christ in high school and then in 2023 I completed a Discipleship Training School at YWAM and the Lord ignited my heart for young people and the nations/unreached. They are both things I want to pursue with Christ. My focuses here at Denver are discipleship and community evangelism. To see students discipled, loved and equipped. And then to YWAM Denver being a light in our community and city. My passions are to see the nations reached. And to see the Gospel, the love of Christ widespread in the remote, and the unreached nations. Also to see the lost and broken youth of our generation experience Christ and come into wholeness and fullness through relationship with Him! If you would like to partner with me and help support me that would mean the world. Information on how is all below. God bless you all. Will Donate

MISSIONARY Brian Cormier DONATE Hello, my name is Brian Cormier, and I am a worship leader, songwriter, and musician studying with YWAM Boston. I found God my freshman year at Berklee and was never the same. After graduating, I quickly learned that I could hear the voice of God when I sang and that became the beginning of my songwriting. At YWAM Boston, I will be studying serving God and using my talents in the arts, which for me means music. I hope to grow firm and learn more about my faith and surrendering everything to God. For outreach, I will be touring the United states and presenting the Gospel through an experience called Encounter. As a missionary, I am full of faith that God has called me to greater things than to just go on living. I have been ruined for ordinary life and am ready to live full of faith and Surrender for Jesus just because He is worthy. This means I will not be being paid for my work. That is where you come in. I am in need of a community around me to pray for me as I live out this Faith Journey. I am also asking that you prayerfully consider joining my team of financial supporters to help keep this mission alive. The finances would go to all school fees, housing and food (during lecture and on tour), tithing, donations, and car payments and insurance. I pray that God meets you and gives you peace throughout your walk with him. please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any prayer needs or want to know more about my faith. Bless you for taking this time to read this bio. Brian Donate

Missionary Kacy Monroe DONATE My name is Kacy Monroe, and I am planning on attending Youth With A Mission (YWAM) this upcoming Fall of 2024 for Discipleship Training School! I will be focused on learning deeper discipleship skills, Bible knowledge, and seeing the call of the Great Commission be fulfilled in the nations! Since I got saved, I've felt a calling to reach the unreached, and see God's kingdom be advanced. It started when I got super involved with the student ministry at church and became a student leader. I started to see the fruits in my life in that my heart-posture was to constantly be making disciples! I would try to bring new friends to church every week, and eventually even started a Bible study of my own that I led for a bit. My youth pastor at the time told me that he saw so prevalently this calling on my life to be a missionary, and that I have a mission-focused heart. He told me about YWAM and how he went there and encouraged me to look into it! After lots of thorough research and prayer, the older I got the more I dreamed of going there and kick starting my future into full-time missions. I have also had an interest in Labor and Delivery Nursing/ Midwifery for quite some time now as well, and my goal is to use my unique interest in that realm to advance God's kingdom by doing Midwifery and women's ministry focused missions! I plan on attending the Life Bearers track at YWAM, and learning more about women's health and unique capabilities, as well as maternal health skills to reach the unreached in developing-world countries where they don't have the same resources. This upcoming fall-spring, I plan on learning as much as I can about God, the Bible, discipleship, as well as women's health. After attending a DTS at YWAM Kona this fall, I plan on applying to the Birth Attendant School in YWAM Perth in Australia to further my education in ministry, missions, and Midwifery for the following two years. My objective is to see women and children of God in the nations get the resources they need to lower the percentage of death in childbirth each year, and most importantly to see the radical change in people's lives as the great commission is fulfilled. This season has been one of preparation and deep prayer. All my past experience in church leadership, ministry, and theological research has brought me to one conclusion- the world is a broken place, and the simple gospel of Jesus must be brought to each and every nation, every tribe and tongue, and every corner of the earth in order to bring light and love to the world. Each and every soul matters, Jesus died for every person to be reached! I am looking for brothers and sisters to join me in prayer, and/or contributing to a monthly or one-time donation. My goal is to raise a little over $10,000 to go towards my tuition at YWAM this fall. I believe and know that God has his hand on this amount and will bless any and all donations so abundantly! Thank you for your prayerful consideration. If you are interested in hearing more in depth about my time at YWAM, please DM me your email address to be added to my monthly newsletter! Kacy Donate

Missionary Julia Schlender DONATE Hi friends, my name is Julia Schlender and I'm currently a part of pioneering YWAM Yellowstone here in my hometown Bozeman, Montana! I first stepped into missions in 2019 when I did my Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Kona, Hawaii. Since then I've had the privilege of partnering with what God is doing in Africa, the Middle East, Europe and North America. Through all of this, my heart has only grown deeper to see people set free and transformed by the love of Jesus. He's awakening this generation to the unique calling He's placed on their lives. Now I have the opportunity to be a part of pioneering YWAM Yellowstone in Bozeman, Montana. Our vision is to be a community rooted in worship and prayer, grounded in discipleship, and mobilizing this generation to carry the hope of Jesus to every corner of the globe. I believe God wants to use this new base as a place where people don't only encounter Him, but are equipped, empowered, and sent out with zeal to impact the nations and ultimately fulfill the great commission. As I step into this new season, I'm building a team of partners who will walk with me in prayer and finances. My goal is to raise a minimum of $2000 in monthly support to cover living and ministry costs, including future outreaches, so I can be fully present in what God is doing. I'd love to invite you to prayerfully consider partnering with me either monthly or as a one time gift -- together we get to see lives changed by Jesus both here in Montana and around the world.

Missionary Sophia Cook DONATE Hi! My name is Sophia Cook and for the past six months I have been a missionary with YWAM Circuit Riders! Fall of 2024, I joined Circuit Riders' Discipleship Training School. I got to attend classes weekly, be immersed in the Word of God, worship the King, and was surrounded by a God-fearing community. Then I got to travel with a team and share the Gospel to different college campus in the US! So many young lives were touched by Jesus and captivated by His love. Circuit Riders is a missional community based in Huntington Beach, California. We focus on our generation and seeing revival hit the US and the nations. My heart is so joyous and grateful to now have the opportunity to become a full-time missionary with Circuit Riders. Little Sophia would be so so proud. I cannot express my gratitude to God and for you who have supported me being a missionary! I would love to ask for you to partner with me financially and through prayer! I am aiming to raise $2,000 per month for: • Housing/rent • Transportation (gas, car insurance, etc.) • Food (groceries, eat out, etc.) • Personal Care • Savings! If you’d like to commit to being a monthly supporter, or giving a one-time donation, please pray about an amount and you can give here! Your support means the world to me. Each prayer is heard, and each dollar is used for His Kingdom. You are each a part of this movement of God! By your prayer and support, you are with me as I go!

Missionary Zach Watson DONATE My name is Zach Watson. I am married to my beautiful wife, Kayce. We have three amazing children; Masyn (9), MadyAnne (7) and Mckinnyn (2). We live on our family farm in Winston Salem, North Carolina. Growing up there has never been a time that I have questioned God’s presence in my life. When my mother passed away in late 2020 it forever shifted the way I viewed life, my role as a father and the world. All children deserve to know the love Christ has for them! I made the decision to serve Mi Casa Kids International in El Salvador after God pulled on my heart to live my life in service to Him. This desire was born from a place of deep empathy and prayer after watching my wife, Kayce, serve this ministry over the past 7 years. Although we are unable to physically relocate from our hometown in North Carolina, our determination to make a positive impact on the lives of these children remains unwavering. As Kayce continues with her roles within the organization, I have boldly followed God’s call on my life by stepping out in faith and working for Mi Casa Kids full time. As the Mama & Baby Shelter Expansion Coordinator, Partner Development Lead & Team Specialist I plan to connect with individuals and organizations dedicated to supporting Mi Casa Kids. It is incredible to witness our local community coming together to support our mission, proving that the desire to help transcends geographical boundaries. My time and resources will be spent coordinating fundraising events, donation drives, and awareness campaigns in North Carolina. The responses have been heartwarming, as people from our community are stepping up to help me make a tangible impact on the lives of these children and mamas. I am raising my own fund instead of taking a salary so the orphanage can continue to honor its commitment to its donors to keep its overhead less than 10%. Historically, we operate around 5% and I do not want my desire to serve to affect the bottom line. I am excited to serve Mi Casa alongside my wife with the support of my family and live out the idea that distance is not a barrier when it comes to making a positive impact. Our experience illustrates that even from afar, lives can be forever connected and changed. Compassion knows no borders through the power of God. That is the largest reason one of my main goals is to partner with churches and other leaders in the community so that they too can fall in love with Mi Casa Kids - the same way I did. Zach Donate

Missionary Maggie Decubellis DONATE Hi, my name is Maggie Decubellis. I am a full time missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), a global non-profit Missions organization. There are over 100 locations. I am with one of the largest bases and it is located in Kona Hawaii. I am with YWAM because I desire to see the unreached reached and discipled. God has given me His heart for seeing His kingdom come to earth. Matthew 6:33, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all will be added to you”. I have learned to trust that as I seek nothing but the Lord, His plans and ways take place and begin to be what my heart desires. In staff training I felt the Lord equipping me for what life will look like in long term missions and at the end of the day, I can confidently say, the Lord is the one preparing me. I have seen how weak I am without the Lord and need Him to be my guide and strength. I believe God has put His light and hope in me to bring into some of the darkest places on earth. Since being a full time missionary and now joining staff, I raise my own financial support and I would be so honored if you would prayerfully consider partnering with me in prayer and financially to see the nations have a radical encounter with Jesus!! If you feel led to give, you can do so through this link. You are partnering in furthering God's kingdom with your giving and praying! For I have died to myself and been resurrected by Jesus Christ for His holy name. God Bless Maggie <3 Donate

MISSIONARY Morgan Bowen DONATE Hello Saints! My Name is Morgan and I am so happy you are here. January of 2019 is when the Lord began to speak to me powerfully about the missions organization I am now under: The Circuit Riders! Between hearing the Holy Spirit telling me what to google, my old prayer journals holding specific words of confirmation, and the physical relationships He put in my path– it was undeniable the invitation He placed before me. After finishing my ministry degree at Christ for the Nations Institute that same spring, I responded with my YES to pursuing full-time missions. Since then, I have had the great privilege to partner with His heart in Mark 10:45 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and give his life as a ransom for many.” and see the eternal fruit that comes when fully engaged with this lifestyle. The goal with CR is simple: Save the lost. Revive the saved. Train them all. You can read more about the many missions trips, projects, campaigns and schools that are a part of the Circuit Rider movement at: crmovement.com. Your support will allow me to continue with CR as we go on college campus revival tours, train & equip believers, and continue to urge forward a Jesus movement in this generation! You can choose below to give a one-time or recurring tax-deductible donation. Thank-you for sowing into my mission! Matthew 28:19-20 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” email: morganbethbowen@gmail.com cell: (410) 231-1333 Morgan Donate
