Missionary Lia Payne DONATE I serve as a full-time missionary focused on biblical literacy, evangelism, and discipleship, particularly among Muslim-majority nations and unreached communities. My calling is to equip new believers with the Word of God and raise up disciples who can strengthen the Church in places where access to the Bible and Christian teaching is limited or restricted. I am currently completing Word By Heart, a YWAM program devoted to memorizing Scripture word-for-word so it can be shared in nations where the Bible is illegal. My school is learning the book of Acts on location in the real places where the events occurred, including Lebanon, Turkey, Israel, Cyprus, Rome, Greece, and Malta. Alongside study, we engage in regular evangelism, working with unreached communities, sharing the gospel in Muslim contexts, and serving vulnerable populations. In 2026, I will be leading Bible schools for Gen Z while pioneering the first prison ministry on the Big Island of Hawai‘i, partnering with New Hope Waikoloa to bring discipleship and hope to incarcerated individuals and their families. In the fall of 2026, I will move to Azerbaijan to pioneer and lead the first Bible school for newly converted former Muslims, equipping believers who are eager to grow in the Word. Hawai‘i is my sending community and home base, where I am discipled by my church and serve locally through youth discipleship and prison ministry. My long-term vision is to continue serving throughout the Middle East, bringing the gospel, biblical training, and discipleship to the nations. Lia Donate

Missionary Valerie Ruiz DONATE Hello! My name is Valerie Ruiz. I was born in El Paso, TX and raised in Colorado! I never grew up knowing Jesus but got radically saved in high school in the midst of addictions and emotional trauma. Ever since I have been chasing Jesus with all my heart finding Him in everything and everywhere! Since being saved I have always burned for the heart of unity in the church and the heart of the body! I desire to see unity in the church! But above all things I know I have been called to sit at His feet all the days of my life! I walk in ministry now simply because I know this is where His feet have guided me! I am need of your help to help partner it what I believe the Lord has led me in! Asking and receiving has always been something I deeply struggle with, but I know part of walking with God is letting go of myself! I am seeking help and partnership in this season to see the will of God come alive. Whether that is partnering in prayer or giving! I am so beyond grateful for every one of you! I love you!!

MISSIONARY Scott & Chelli Bryson DONATE We are the Bryson family: Scott, Chelli and our 4 kids. We served as full-time missionaries in Indonesia in 2017. Then in 2018, God re-directed us to serve with YWAM Marine Reach, based in New Zealand. Since 2018, we have contributed to medical / dental outreaches and teaching ministries in various regions of Polynesia, Indonesia, Melanesia (Vanuatu), and Africa. Scott is an Emergency Physician, and Chelli is a Dentist. Nutshell Version of Our Vision: We aim to imitate Jesus Christ, by sharing His love and compassion internationally through prayer, teaching, mentoring, discipleship, evangelism, consultation, and direct medical / dental patient care. May God give us strength and be glorified as we seek to serve Him! Coconut-Sized Version of Our Vision: To expound upon this vision a bit; Our ministry is modeled after Jesus' earthly ministry as summarized by Matthew 9:35-38: We function as a Regional Resource for multiple locations: ("Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages..." Matt 9:35a), with a multifaceted approach to Kingdom work, including: - Teaching / Training courses in Medical Missions: (Jesus "...taught in their synagogues..." Matt 9:35b), - Evangelism and Discipleship: (Jesus "...preached the Good News about the Kingdom..." Matt 9:35c), - Direct Patient Care: (Jesus "...healed all kinds of diseases and sicknesses." Matt 9:35d) - Compassionate Mentorship; pointing the hurting toward the Good Shepherd: ("When [Jesus] saw the crowds, he felt compassion for them because they were hurting and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd." Matt 9:36) - Providing Remote Medical/Dental Consultations for other Missionaries; because so many missionaries are isolated, not medically trained, faced with medical dilemmas, and few in number: ("Jesus said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.' " Matt 9:37) - Prayer for the Nations & Intercession as led by the Holy Spirit: (Jesus instructed us to "pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest." Matt 9:38) If you have any questions or want to know more about our ministry, contact us at: BrysonBeacon@Protonmail.com We are able to serve in this much-needed capacity because of God's provision through your generosity!

Missionary Persis Lugalia DONATE Hi friend! I’m so glad you’re here. And just so you know, if I could send you a confetti-filled hug or do a cartwheel in your honor, I totally would! If you know me, you know I love blowing bubbles, baking sweet treats, dancing to music like no one’s watching, and spreading joy like butter on a warm slice of sourdough (yum). But more than anything, I love sharing the radical love of Jesus with a world that deeply needs it. Ever since I was a little girl, every day I would pray for children who didn’t have enough to eat. I thought I was praying for a generation of kids who were hungry for food. But little did I know, I was actually praying for a generation whose hearts were hungry — hungry for love, hope, identity, and truth. That childlike prayer grew into a calling. Today, I’m serving with Circuit Riders, a branch of YWAM (Youth With A Mission). We’re a missions movement fueled by love, built on faith, and driven to reach a generation with the hope of Jesus. Whether it’s on college campuses, in neighborhoods, or across nations, we equip and launch movements to see lives transformed by the Gospel. Here’s where you come in! As a full-time missionary, I rely completely on monthly support and one-time donations from people like you — people who believe in the power of the Gospel and want to be part of what God is doing in this generation. By sowing into this mission, you’re not just donating… you’re helping send joy, hope, and transformation into some of the darkest places. “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” — Romans 10:15 Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me? Every gift, big or small, is a spark that helps fuel this fire. Let’s chase Jesus together. Let’s make heaven crowded. And hey — let’s do it with some music, bubbles, and a whole lot of joy. With love, Persis Donate

Missionary Patty Darrah DONATE Patty is a missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). She has been pursuing the call of missions since 2017 when the Lord called her to fully surrender her life and will. Since saying yes to Jesus, she has experienced a great transformation as a disciple of Christ, and also a heart change for God's people throughout the nations. She has a passion for every unreached people group to know the name of Jesus and worship Him as a worthy king - to reach the Least, the Lost, and the Last. The people which she feels called to are those in Central Asia. Central Asia's largest religion is Muslim at 99.4% with a population of over 10 million people (in the country of work). Many of these individuals have fled from their home countries and are refugees, seeking refuge. Patty has a passion to minister to those whose hearts are broken, longing for comfort amidst their troubling situation, and to those in need of a savior. She is passionate about people encountering the love of Jesus and being transformed in their entire being and identity. God has given her a vision to be a part of the restoration He is bringing to the Muslims in Central Asia. Patty will be working alongside other workers to serve needs, and make disciples in Central Asia. This will be done through a variety of ministries. Patty is currently building a team of partners who would give $3,000 a month, which will allow her to fully serve what God is doing in the hearts of Muslims in Central Asia. Would you prayerfully consider joining this team of monthly investors, or contributing a special donation? Donate

Missionary Ivan Perez DONATE Dear friends, My name is Ivan Perez, and I am 24 years old. I was Born to missionary parents but my journey began when I felt God's unmistakable call on my life at the age of 16 . Although I was tremendously shy I could not resist sharing the Best News I had heard in all my life, the Gospel of Jesus. Without any external coercion, I began faithfully witnessing any and everywhere I went of the Salvation found in the person of Jesus. Sharing the Gospel became an intrinsic part of who I am. After many years of serving God faithfully wherever He placed me and living in Brazil, my mothers home country, I was recently called to join a remarkable Missions Ministry in Southern California known as "Circuit Riders," an organization under the umbrella of YWAM (Youth With a Mission). Circuit Riders draw inspiration from an Old Methodist movement during the first Great Awakening, where evangelists would ride on horseback, engaging in soul-winning, discipling, church-planting, and even freeing slaves. While we no longer ride horses, the spirit of the Circuit Riders lives on. Our modes of transportation have evolved however the essence remains unchanged.We now travel by cars and planes, continuing the legacy of soul-winning, discipleship, movement starting, and social justice. Our heart's desire is to saturate campuses and cities with the Love of Jesus, connecting the saved to local congregations and equipping them to share their faith with their peers. Within Circuit Riders, my current role involves planning and leading mission trips, both locally and globally. Recently, we returned from an intense season of outreach, witnessing awe-inspiring moments. We saw over 28,568 people gathered in Gospel events across the USA, Mexico, South Africa, Europe, the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand. Even more remarkable is that we celebrated upwards of 4,344 documented decisions for Christ. Those who decided for Christ are being followed up with, plugged into local churches, discipled, and trained into sharing the Gospel. There is an undeniable mandate from our Lord for His church to carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth until His coming. This mandate has deeply marked my heart, and I have been called by our Lord to dedicate my life as a full-time evangelist. My mission is to equip disciples to boldly share their faith and preach the Good News to the lost. Because this is a full-time commitment, the way our Lord meets the various financial needs is through the faithful generosity of His people. Although I do try to work on the side (tentmaking) it's not enough to fully supply the financial needs to be wholly dedicated to the Lord’s ministry. Our God did not intend for His body to function independently but interdependently. I long for the accountability and encouragement of a group of partners. For the sake of the Lord Jesus, the Son of God, who visited the Earth and cried out with a broken heart, ‘’The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few!’’, would you consider partnering with me in this so that I can be a laborer fully funded in God’s harvest field? In the words of William Carey, ‘’I will descend into the pit, if you will hold tightly to the rope.’’ I will give my life away to reach the lost if you will pray, give, and keep me encouraged through correspondence. My goal is to raise 3,000 dollars in monthly support to cover my living expenses, transportation, and housing. I don’t expect a particular contributor to meet the entire financial need, but I believe that many people giving sacrificially will meet all my needs. Thank you in advance for prayerfully considering supporting me. Blessings, Ivan Perez Donate

Missionary Danél Van der Merwe DONATE Hi Everyone! My name is Danél, and I'm currently serving as a missionary with Every Nation in South Africa. This movement is currently in more than 80 nations and expanding to more nations as we are on mission with God to reach those who have not yet heard the Gospel. As a child, growing up in Namibia, I was exposed to missionaries and missions, which in my adult life played a great role in deciding to join vocational ministry when the Lord called me to be full-time. I did a 2-year theology course with them and also did Ministry School for 3 months. I currently serve by engaging the community and campus by sharing the Gospel and also discipling those who have committed their lives to Christ. Raising these disciples to be disciple-making leaders to also raise others. I invite you to ask God if this is the place you should sow into prayerfully and financially for the Great Commission. Thank you! Danél vandmerwe.danel@gmail.com Donate

Missionary Sarah Reiff DONATE Hello! My name is Sarah Reiff. I am currently in the process of raising funds for a 7-month discipleship training program called the CR Experience. This program is run by a Christian organization called Circuit Riders. Circuit Riders is a complete ministry of Youth With A Mission that is based in Huntington Beach, California. The purpose and plan for Circuit Riders can be summed up by their mission statement, which says, “Save the lost. Revive the saved. Train them all.” The Circuit Riders’ focus is on impacting students within university campuses and high schools. The overall goal is for these students to not only be impacted but also trained and sent out into life with the confidence to share the gospel wholly and unashamed. Through the CR Experience, I will be participating specifically in the Carry The Love tour. This tour is an international outreach to hundreds of schools around the globe. Carry the Love aims to culminate hearts that pour out the love of Jesus, establish community that is gospel-centered, and build a culture of living as Jesus would have. Numerous others and I will have the opportunity to be trained and activated within our skills and passions to carry the love of Jesus onto universities and schools. This 7-month program will be broken up into two separate phases: the training phase and the tour phase. The training phase will kick off on October 1, 2023, and end in December for a short break for the holidays. Following the training phase, the tour phase will commence at the beginning of January 2024 and wrap up mid – April 2024. The training phase of this experience will look like a weekly schedule filled with classes, corporate prayer, messages, and specific training within each of our chosen tracks. The track that I have chosen to study is the worship track. This means that I will expand and deepen my knowledge of worship arts throughout my time training. My goal is to learn more about vocals, all the tech that goes into music, and how these skills will be used for the Kingdom. At the end of training, all of CR Experience will be broken up into different teams and tour regions. These teams will tour all over the United States and some other countries, as well. At each tour stop, pre-planned events will be held for students containing worship, messages, prayer, teaching, and fellowship. When not holding events, teams will take to campus for evangelism and outreach. The intention behind each stop is to share with others our findings. That God is good, Jesus overflows with love for you, and that the gospel is meant for everyone. Now, as for the why. Why Circuit Riders? I have had the privilege of watching how the CR people change the lives of others and I have also experienced it for myself. Circuit Riders has a role to play in the redirecting of my life toward Jesus and so, they hold a special place in my heart. I hope to be able to do for others what was done for me through Circuit Riders. I want to share the gospel and the boundless love of Jesus with others the way it was shared with me. I hope that you would prayerfully consider financially partnering with me in this journey. Even if you cannot give financially, I would be so utterly grateful to be included in your prayers. If you have any further questions, I would be delighted to answer them. Thank you for your time! Sarah Donate

Missionary Makayla Uram DONATE My name is Makayla, and I am a missionary with an organization called Youth With A Mission, based out of Kona, Hawaii. This is one of the largest missionary training centers in the world. Throughout the past two years as a missionary I have gone to Kenya, Israel, Cyprus, Lebanon, Germany, England, Turkey, Greece, Malta, and Italy. Through all of these places I have been able to share the Gospel with people for the first time in their lives. I have seen salvations, healing, and deliverance from demonic oppression. In this process God has revealed to me that I am called to the inner cities of America to work with prisoners, and gang members, those who believe they are too far gone for God’s grace. I feel that God has me in a ten year period of preparation at this time. I know that as I follow His voice and leading, He will equip me in every way for my calling. He’s been preparing me through various Bible schools, as well as opportunities to help others pioneer training programs, and through leading new missionaries across the globe. In order to continue in following God’s leading as a full time volunteer missionary, I need to have consistent support from a community of believers that want to see these changes made around the world. In partnering financially with my ministry you will be sowing seeds with me into the Kingdom of God! Makayla Donate
