MISSIONARY Suro & Ayaka Lopez DONATE Suro and Ayaka served as the Creative Arts Pastors at myChurch in Jacksonville, Florida from 2017 until August of 2022. They stepped down from their positions to answer the call God put in their hearts to minister not just to the Japanese Christian community, but also to the Japanese people as a whole. They are now serving as independent missionaries in Japan. Suro and Ayaka believe God wants to move in Japan in His powerful and unique way. God is a creative God and He created us to be creative for Him. Japan is a land of deep traditions intermixed with cutting edge technology, and so our goal is to help create opportunities for God to be glorified in a uniquely Japanese way: Incorporating Tradition and Technology. Our vision is to create original Japanese worship music, to encourage and help Japanese worshippers who have a song in their heart to bring that song to life. We want to help provide creative and innovative ideas for churches and worship teams and we aim to create an encouraging and nurturing community of worship leaders, singers and musicians in Japan. Suro and Ayaka have a God given dream to build a dedicated Recording Studio in Japan that would primarily serve both experienced and new worship songwriters and musicians alike, so that the Japanese Christian community can create more original worship music in their own language, and eventually Suro and Ayaka hope to have a performance facility with a connected coffee house, to make available primarily to churches for services, events, trainings, retreats, and other church activities. But we can't do all of this without your help! We would love for you to prayerfully consider supporting us as we take on this monumental task that God has put before us! Thank you and may God return the blessing to you tenfold! Suro and Ayaka Donate

MISSIONARY Caleb Gresser DONATE Hello Friends & Family This letter is an informational letter for you. As you may have heard I have been led to missions with Circuit Riders, a YWAM (Youth With A Mission) affiliate. On September 28th, I will be headed for the west coast to Huntington Beach, California for the DTS (Discipleship Training School). This letter is geared towards fundraising, but I hope through this you hear my Heart and the passion I have for Jesus to be known. On October 1st I will start my DTS that will go from Oct. 1st to December 15th. There I will learn knowledge in my track, in a classroom setting, which my track is evangelism. Evangelism is deeply rooted in my family on both sides, growing from my mother and father and his parents and my mom’s mother, and now onto me, that is where I received this deep love for evangelism. To spread the Love of Jesus, in my true heart is evangelism. During this time, we will focus on the communities we are in. Due to having holidays in the middle of school they have decided it would be beneficial to take a break from December 15th to January 3rd. Once our break has completed, we will be traveling to the region we are called to which is where the missions will occur. The Mission behind Circuit Riders is geared towards Young Adults and so much of my heart is as well! We will be going to college campuses reaching young adults to Jesus Christ and building a relationship with God the Father. I will be on this mission from January to middle May where it’ll come to an end and head home! Being a young adult is such a precious time we have to be bold and live with fulfillment of Christ. I am excited for this new journey that God has me on, trusting in him for everything including finances. If you feel led to come with me on this journey, then there a few ways you can do this. One please PRAY! Prayer is a huge part of my journey, also you can GIVE! Giving is also an important aspect too. The trip in total will cost $6,000, this includes all room, board, and travel expenses. I ask if you would consider prayerfully donating any funds to this mission! You can do a one-time donation or I have other friends/family doing monthly! Sincerely, Caleb Gresser Donate

Missionary Elizabeth Leon DONATE Hi! My name Is Lizzy Leon! I am so grateful to be headed to Youth With A Mission (YWAM) this September in Mazatlan, Mexico! Mexico plays a huge role in my life! It is where my Dad's family is from and a part of my culture. It is a beautiful place where I am excited to be a part of the Lord's work. Through YWAM I will be taking part in a five month missionary training program, this is a DTS or a Discipleship Training School. A DTS is a three month lecture phase where I will be learning about who God is and all that He is calling me to for His Kingdom! It is a place where I get to discover more of who God is, grow and learn in my passions and engage the isolated! I will be learning how to spread the good news of Jesus Christ and his love to all of the world. "He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation" Mark 16:15. After the first three months, I will be doing three months of outreach where my team and I will be sent to spread the good news of the Gospel all throughout Mexico! I am so grateful for this opportunity, but in order to go out to this school I need support both financially and through prayer. Financially, I need to raise $7,000! While this is a big number I know all things are possible through Christ. "Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible”, Matthew 19:26. These costs will help me to cover the lecture phase and outreach. This covers all of my housing, food, and transportation while on the YWAM campus in Mazatlan, where I can focus solely on the word of God. It will also cover all of my transportation, housing, food, during the outreach where I will be pouring out to others. This is a huge ask, but I would love it if you would consider supporting me and what God is doing in and through me financially and through prayer!! I love you and, but I know the Lord loves you so much more!! If you have any questions or want to hear more about what I am doing, you can call me at (708) 595-4181, or email me at lizzyleon29@gmail.com ! Thank you so much, and may God cover you in blessings! Love, Lizzy Leon Donate

Missionary Kirsty Madziyire DONATE Hello, I'm Kirsty Madziyire. I'm from Zimbabwe, I've known Jesus since I was 5 years old. There's so many vulnerable people who don't know Jesus, who don't have a voice, aren't seen and are in hopeless situations. Jesus has called me to be their champion, and through my life that they'd encounter Jesus. Kirsty Donate

Missionary Trayveon Larkin DONATE My name is Tray’veon Larkin, I am a 21 year old African American missionary serving with a missions organization called University of the Nations (Youth with a mission) in Kona, Hawaii. I am apart of the staff crew here in a DTS school called Fire and Fragrance. You may well ask, "What is a DTS?” well, DTS stands for Discipleship Training School and it is where young people come and spend 3 months living in a missions-focused community learning about, and being discipled in living out their faith. Whether that’s in their local communities, workplace, friend groups or a different country. It's followed by approximately 2-3 months living as a boots-on-the-ground missionary (in the nations), preaching the gospel of what Jesus did for us (Colossians 2:13-14) and to disciple the nations (Matthew 28:16-20). This training has helped by giving me opportunities to put into application the unique giftings and calling I believe God has given me. For example : 1. Learning how to share my faith with others. 2. Learning how to hear the voice of God. 3. Stepping even more into my true identity in Jesus. 4. Learning how to study and communicate God’s word (The Bible) effectively. Being a part of the staff here is so encouraging! To be able to partner with God in seeing young people from all over the world and different backgrounds come and begin to walk in hearing God’s voice. We are all also learning to be able to preach the Gospel and grow in learning how to study the Word of God effectively. To continue to do what I love, I have formed a monthly financial/prayer partnership team. I would love for you to pray about joining this partnership with me to help me to continue to do what I love and to help see the Kingdom of God continue to advance. Tray'veon Donate

Missionary Melody Hays DONATE Hi! My name is Melody Hays and I am 20 years old! I am originally from Auburn Alabama, but currently live in Nashville Tennessee. A little bit about me, I grew up in a Christian household with 5 older siblings. I’ve had a relationship with Jesus most of my life, but I haven’t always wanted to live for Him. That changed in July of 2023, when Jesus help me see what I was missing by not giving Him my everything. Now all I care to do is live to please Him and glorify His name. I have the opportunity to go to a missionary school called YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in Kona, Hawaii. I am wanting to attend their all women’s ministry called Brave Love, where they raise and equip women in their original design. My biggest passion besides Jesus is dance! Brave Love has a new dance track that I will be trained in. My goal is to be schooled at YWAM and become a missionary that helps with sex trafficking. This school is only my first step. I need your help! I leave in January and have till March of 2025 to raise about $5,000. By fundraising me, you will be taking on this journey with me! You will be helping me fulfill the great commission! More than anything, pray for me as I take these steps in obedience. Thank you!! Melody Donate

Missionary Lani DONATE Hey there! My name is Lani and God is calling me to Circuit Riders in January 2026 for six months! I have always had a heart for missions as I was first called to do my first DTS (Discipleship Training School) when I was ten years old in Colorado Springs, South Africa, Mozambique, and Swaziland. That 6 months changed my whole life, and I knew God wanted me to live a life looking to bring more of His children to Him and it is such an honor to do so! God is so kind and so faithful! I am looking to raise about $16,000 to cover all the expenses for this six month journey. This cost will cover food, living expenses, transportation, flights, and my whole schooling experience. God has called me to further the kingdom and I won’t let lack of finances stop me! He is kind and faithful and will always provide. It would be an honor to be able to put your money towards furthering the Kingdom of God and spreading the gospel! Any support means a whole lot! Lani Donate
