Missionary Briggs Szanto DONATE My name is Briggs Szanto and I am an 18-year-old high school graduate who first and foremost loves Jesus. After my application to the U.S. Air Force Academy was denied, I believe that God is calling me to do something different than all my peers, who are heading off to college this upcoming fall. In addition to that, one of my cousins has recently participated in a mission program for youth called, Youth With A Mission (YWAM), where he had an incredible and life changing experience. Inspired by his experience, I decided to look more into this ministry. The Bible clearly calls ALL believers to participate in the great commission, so through much prayer, advice, and wisdom from family and close friends, I believe that God has called me to do His work. YWAM is a six-month long mission trip for young, college aged men and women where they will experience two different phases. The first phase is the 3-month long Discipleship Training School (DTS) where we will be prepared for the mission field and spend extended periods of time studying the Word of God in group and personal settings. My DTS will take place in a small town on the northeast coast of Australia called Byron Bay. The second phase is called the Outreach phase, where I will spend 2-3 months in the mission field somewhere in southeast Asia. The location of the outreach phase will be revealed towards the end of the DTS phase. First, my biggest ask is for your prayers, because as Paul says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood” (Ephesians 6:12). As a follower of Jesus, the most pressing opposition, and battle I face in going on this service adventure, is not financial but spiritual. In addition to your prayers, please consider a financial gift. The total cost of the trip is $10,000 which includes the cost of the DTS tuition as well as my room and board during that time. It will also cover the cost of all my travels during the Outreach phase, being that during that time we likely will be traveling to more than one country in Southeast Asia. Will you join me in this adventure for Christ and support this effort with prayers and any financial gift you feel led to give? Briggs Donate

Missionary Osi Charley DONATE Hey Everyone! My name is Siosi Charley and I am a full time missionary! I serve at one of the largest mission training and sending organizations in the world, based out of Kona, Hawaii called YWAM ( Youth With A Mission). I did my DTS (Disciple Training School) last Fall of 2021 here at YWAM and my heart was stirred for Missions. My life was completely transformed to love Jesus with my whole heart. I am from Micronesia, Kosrae and I have been living here in Hawaii for 21 years. I met and gave my life to the Lord in 2019 when a good friend of mine shared the Gospel with me and from there my life has been radically transformed. I now believe that if God could do that to my life He can do the same to other islanders lives. My passion is to see islanders be activated into going to the Nations. Osi Donate

Missionary Elizabeth Curtis DONATE Hi! I’m Liz Curtis. I was in South Africa from 2015-2017 with Youth with a Mission (YWAM) completing my Discipleship Training School (DTS) and then staffing a DTS on staff serving in logistics like ministry outreach and hospitality. I experienced major health challenges from 2017-2022 including being diagnosed with Celiac Disease (2017) and for an unrelated reason needing surgery in 2019. During this time of medical unknowns, I remained in Michigan (2019-2021) and felt the Lord calling me to business school. I applied to GVSU and earned my Bachelor’s in Business Administration and Minor in Hospitality and Tourism Management. I also learned to sew during this time and ran an Etsy shop for 3 years as a hobby, while in school full-time and helping manage my parent’s restaurant 25-30 hours a week. Little did I know, the Lord was preparing me in many ways for the next big opportunity He was leading me towards. I am currently serving at Made by Mosaic in Potchefstroom South Africa, a job creation initiative for foster parents who are a part of Mosaic Community Developments. Mosaic Community Developments is a nonprofit in South Africa that serves foster parents taking care of two or more orphaned and vulnerable children in three locations (Potchefstroom, Paarl Valley, Gqeberha (PE)). Mosaic Community Developments has a three layered approach to orphan and vulnerable child-care programs which included Parent, Child, and Job Readiness/Skills Development. The Mosaic Model consists of family, employment, housing, education, and sustained flourishing. At Made by Mosaic, I get to serve alongside foster moms each day. We laugh and have fun, sometimes we dance, we rejoice and pray for each other, and we work hard. At our job creation initiative, the leatherworks department is where our moms create beautiful handmade leather bags that we sell in shops throughout South Africa on consignment and in seasonal markets. My years of medical adventures where I acquired a love for sewing, a business degree, and more knowledge about running a business gave me the ability to serve well at Made by Mosaic. I assist with product design, production, marketing, integration of systems and processes, and continuing to seek out international selling opportunities. I get to do all of this as a volunteer, receiving no financial salary, but able to serve with the gifts the Lord has given me because of your prayers and financial support. Would you partner with me in what the Lord is doing at Made by Mosaic? Oh, and on 1 November 2022 Jesus did a miracle and healed my Celiac Disease! I continue to witness the Lord using all things for His glory and that His timing is perfect. With a heart of gratitude, Liz Donate

MISSIONARY Aleisa Sevold DONATE About 5 years ago I moved to Brisbane, Australia to be a missionary with an organization called YWAM (Youth With A Mission). I Loved my time there, the people I met, the places I got to see, and the people who got to meet Jesus. God ended my time there a few years back, but I knew my time with missions was not yet done. Fortunately, I was right, and a couple months ago the Lord reopened the door to missions. However, this time it was not in sunny Australia. He asked me to go to a different YWAM base which was in snowy Turner Valley, Canada. I have since been accepted to staff at this base and I will be helping to run an evangelism based Discipleship Training School. I will also be leading teams on overseas missions. I wanted to thank you for being one of my supporters, because I cannot do this without you! God Bless you! Donate

Missionary Ephraim Lonsako DONATE Hello! My name is Ephraim Lonsako. I’m from Phoenix, AZ and come from a home that’s been saturated with history and love for Jesus. I come from a missionary home and my father has served as a missionary to Ethiopia on and off for over 15 years. Going out with my family as a child I never realized it could leave such a mark on my heart to see nations under the lens of what Jesus is doing within them. Joining Circuit Riders is my first real step in this direction. Ever since I was a student in college I had a feeling my life was meant to be on the field serving in every capacity I can to see the gospel shared and within this space I’ve been able to serve like never before. I long to have my life stretched and pruned within a community that has made Jesus everything and the spread of His Gospel their life mission. Circuit Riders is a missions movement planted in Huntington Beach that prioritizes raising up a generation that burns to not only be saved but to be sent out as missionaries of the gospel. Missionaries sent out from familiar spaces like college campuses, local neighborhoods, urban key areas and to the nations across the world lacking the freedom and consistency of hearing this Gospel! Recognizing the burning desire in this community, I quickly found my heart feeling alive like never before. To live out this life, it’s going to take more prayer, counsel, and support than ever before! I look forward to chasing after this mission and spreading the message of Jesus resurrected beyond every expectation I’ve ever had for myself! In order to do this, to live this lifestyle and serve at this capacity, I realize I will need your support. It’s a beautifully humbling moment to recognize your need for support from family and friends like yourselves. I’m so grateful you’ve taken the time to briefly hear my heart on this wild transition. Please genuinely pray and consider being a part of this story as a supporter at any capacity you are able to give. Should you need any further clarity on this journey do not hesitate to contact me directly! I look forward to updating you as often as possible on how the Spirit of God is alive and well in the earth through my small but wide open lens in this experience. Anything you bring is such a beautiful offering to the Lord, be it prayer, support, or simply reaching out with encouragement - my heart is open to it all. Ephraim Donate

Missionary Esther Cho DONATE Hey everyone! My name is Esther, and I’m a full-time missionary with Circuit Riders, a movement committed to seeing a generation saved, activated, and sent. We take the Gospel to universities, high schools, and cities across America and the nations—through evangelism, catalytic gatherings, and more. But in today’s world, missions isn’t limited to in-person gatherings. The digital space is one of the most powerful places to reach people, and social media has become a key tool for evangelism. As part of the Circuit Riders media team, I help lead our social media efforts, using videos, campaigns, and creative content to amplify the Gospel, mobilize believers, and reach the lost in ways traditional methods can’t. And we’ve seen the fruit. We’ve watched our content open doors for people to encounter Jesus, activate believers to step out in boldness, and even spark missionary callings. Every post, every video, every campaign—it’s all about making Jesus known to a generation searching for truth. I’ve seen firsthand how God is using media to change lives, and I believe we’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible. The harvest is ripe, and this generation is ready—but we need laborers. I’m building a team of partners who believe in reaching this generation with the Gospel. If you see the need and want to be part of what God is doing, you can support this mission directly through this page! As a full-time missionary, I rely on the generosity of people like you to keep going—every prayer, every gift, every step forward makes it possible to keep pioneering, creating, and saying yes to what God is doing. Let’s build this together! Esther Donate

Missionary Gabriella Darling DONATE Hello! My name is Gabriella “Gabi” Darling, and I’m joining Youth With A Mission (YWAM) as a full-time missionary in Osaka, Japan. The Lord placed a deep love for Japan on my heart from childhood, and over the past few years, He has confirmed this calling through prayer and my Discipleship Training School with YWAM Japan. I will be serving in both the university ministry and the English teaching ministry, building relationships with college students and language learners so I can share the love of Jesus in everyday life, classes, and conversations. I also feel called to attend the School of Biblical Studies (SBS) hosted by YWAM in February 2027. This program is designed to teach students how to study all 66 books of the Bible using an inductive approach—observing what the text says in its proper context, interpreting its meaning, and applying it to life today. Through this school, I desire to be further equipped to take part in the Great Commission. “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.” — Matthew 28:19 I am trusting God to provide a team of prayer and financial partners so I can focus fully on ministry. Monthly and one-time gifts help cover living expenses, health insurance, transportation, and SBS tuition. Would you consider praying about partnering with me to see Japan transformed by God’s love and truth? If you have any questions, I would love to connect with you.
