Missionary Brooke Turner DONATE Hello! My name is Brooke, and I am about to join the staff at YWAM Ships in Papua New Guinea and Townsville, Australia to serve the native people of PNG. My call to missions has been surprising journey that had many stops and starts throughout the years. God called me to the mission field when I was seventeen years old but at nineteen, I wandered from God and no longer had interest in serving Him this way. When I returned to Him at twenty-four, foreign missions was the furthest thing from my mind. Although I participated in ministries as a worship leader, prophetic team member, and even did some teaching/preaching back in the States, going to the nations wasn’t on my radar… not even a little! In 2017, my life was disrupted yet again, and I returned to college to finish my Bachelor’s degree in English followed by a Master’s in Creative Writing. While completing my degree, I had no idea God had intentions to use my writing gift. Shortly after graduating, I moved to California where I worked as an editor/writer for a Christian human rights organization, supporting persecuted Christians worldwide. That’s when Jesus began stirring my heart for the nations again, giving me compassion for those suffering around the world. About two years into my work with the organization, I felt God leading me out of my position there. I didn’t understand why God would allow me to leave a job I loved so much but without a job, I had a lot of extra hours to spend with the Lord. I remember distinctly telling Him, “I’ll do whatever you tell me to do—no matter what it is! Just tell me what I’m supposed to do!” That is a dangerous prayer, friends. Through a series of prophetic dreams, the Holy Spirit began to unfold His plans for me—very specific plans—and in a matter of a couple months, I found myself at YWAM missions training school in Kona, Hawaii embarking on the adventure of my life. Since then, Jesus has made His mission clear to me step by step. It has been a matter of learning to closely listen to Him and obey His leading—even when it sounded completely crazy! I will be working with the communications team as a mission builder in the beginning, followed by an outreach in PNG where I will work as a journalist and writer, chronicling the amazing stories of healing on YWAM Medical Ships while getting to minister to PNG natives through evangelism, prayer, and Bible distribution—after that, I will continue to pray about coming on staff with Ships full-time—doing the work of fulfilling the Great Commission. The call to PNG was also a surprising one. My heart was to work with creatives and artists in Europe, so when he began giving me visions, dreams, and prophetic words from others that He had much different plans for me, I didn’t know quite how to receive it. As I’ve been asking God what He wants me to know about my time in PNG, He has given me the verse from Matthew 25:40: “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Serving the poor isn’t a glamorous job—it’s not one I would have expected—but it is one of the most complete ways to know the heart of Jesus. Right now, I’m looking for a team who will support me with prayer and finances as I obey the leadership of Jesus. Will you consider being a part of my support team? In the beginning, I will need finances for a flight from England (where I’m at now) to Townsville Australia (anywhere from $900-$1,300), money for food (about $6 a day) and housing ($7 a day) at the base while I mission build, funding for personal expenses like my phone bill and other items needed for living, flight from Townsville to PNG (another $300), and the outreach fees ($555) I need to complete my mission there. As I continue to pray about remaining on staff, I will need similar expenses for housing, food, and other personal expenses—but we will cross that bridge when we come to it. I need both monthly supporters and supporters that will provide one-time (or two-time) gifts for my upcoming outreaches. Please prayerfully consider my invitation to partner with me on this beautiful mission of serving Jesus. I also want to be an encouragement and support to you on your journey with Jesus so please share with me how I can pray for you. Brooke Donate

Now residing in Rhode Island, I am embracing new opportunities, building connections, and creating a path for my future while staying closely connected to where I come from.

Missionary Paul Zgambo DONATE Hey family! ‎God has been doing something deep in my heart over this past season. He’s been showing me that I’m called into missions not just to go somewhere, but to help people encounter Him through worship and to walk with them in discipleship. ‎I’ve realized it’s not enough for people to just hear about Jesus. I want them to actually know Him, experience His presence, and grow in a real relationship with Him. That’s what I feel God sending me to do. ‎Right now, I’m stepping into that calling, and honestly… I can’t do it on my own. ‎I still need people who believe in what God is doing in my life to stand with me especially in this season where I’m preparing to go and serve. ‎If you feel led to support me financially, it would mean so much. Any amount really helps. And if you can’t give, your prayers genuinely matter to me. ‎I’m trusting God with this, but I also know He uses people and maybe that’s you. ‎If you want to partner with me or just hear more about what I’m doing, feel free to message me ‎Thank you for being part of my journey.

Missionary Destiny Hodges DONATE Hey Family! My name is Destiny and I’m currently looking to attend a summer training with Circuit Riders to get equipted in my calling for Christ. But first, here's a little background. In 2022, I left my hometown of Atlanta to attend university in Oxford, Pennsylvania. My freshman year was extremely tough. I battled with severe loneliness, anxiety, depressive episodes and so much more that I can not put into words. In the midst of all of that, I still had goals and the ambition to maximize my college experience. With that, sophomore year I decided to study abroad as I thought it was for the reason of gaining experience and adding to my resume. Not knowing that I was truly running away from reality and wanted to build a life that was centered around myself that stemmed from hurt and pain. Long story short in the middle of my study abroad experience, the Lord encountered me and the foundation of my walk with Jesus is His love. I graduated this spring, and I continue to be hungry for the things of God as He has transformed me within these last two plus years. The summer school is through Circuit Riders. Circuit Riders is a missional community based in Huntington Beach, California. Their mission is to see evangelism trend in America. A Jesus movement is coming to America and it has already begun. They have built several missions platforms, projects and campaigns to empower and train leaders, activate every believer, and inspire our generation to love like Jesus. Circuit Riders is empowered by Youth With A Mission.- crmovement.com . I cannot express my thanks to God and to you who support me in making my dream of being trained become reality. I would love to ask for you to partner with me through financial support and prayer! I need $1,000 for: • Tuition • Housing • Food • Transportation (flights) And prayer for: • Peace • Clarity • Protection • Wisdom If you’d like to commit to being a supporter, 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 Julia Ramos DONATE Hey! My name is Júlia, and I am a full-time missionary serving with YWAM Paris Connect in France since October 2022. I am originally from Brazil, and God has led me to live in the suburbs of Paris, where I am part of an international community passionate about seeing lives transformed by Jesus ❤️🔥 YWAM Paris Connect is a global community that aims to transform cities by connecting this generation to their missional calling. We are focused on reaching people in the city and beyond through evangelism, discipleship, and community outreach. We are especially passionate about serving in places where hope is often lacking, building relationships, and creating spaces where people can encounter God in a real and personal way. Through our work, we desire to activate faith, proclaim Jesus, and see cities transformed. 🌏 My heart is to empower the younger generation, especially women. This includes training and discipling young people, while also reaching the unreached in areas of prostitution. I have been working to see the Lord bring redemption and restoration to their lives. As a missionary, I have a team of people who partner with me through prayer and financial support. Just like Romans 10:13–14 teaches us, we are working together to see people saved in the name of Jesus and revival happen in our generation. 🙌🏻 Paris is a bridge to the nations, and we need your partnership to see lives transformed across Europe and in the 10/40 window through the proclamation of Jesus. Join me in this calling! Júlia Donate

Missionary David Stamper and Jocelyn Turner DONATE Hi! We are Jocelyn and David! After getting married this August, we will be heading to the YWAM (Youth With A Mission) base in Bozeman, Montana, to attend their 6-month Discipleship Training School! At the YWAM Bozeman base, the vision for the Discipleship Training School (DTS) is centered around worship, prayer, and calling a generation to fulfill the Great Commission. It’s a place where students encounter Jesus, are refined in His presence, and discover their purpose in His story. What begins in the prayer room becomes a movement in the nations. YWAM’s DTS is a 5–6 month intensive program — three months of training followed by three months of outreach to the nations. The heart of DTS is to lead students into deep friendship with Jesus and into a life defined by one thing: to know Him intimately and make Him known in every nation. Together, we are excited to pursue youth ministry and worship ministry. We believe this season at YWAM’s Discipleship Training School will prepare us spiritually for the life God is leading us into. Through worship, prayer, discipleship, and outreach, we will grow deeper in our relationship with the Lord and be equipped to share His love wherever He sends us—whether that’s serving our communities, mentoring youth, or sharing the gospel around the world. Our heart is to bring what we learn back into the places God calls us, living missionally and investing in the lives of others. We also know this journey isn’t something we walk alone. Many people have a heart for what God is doing in the world, but may not have the opportunity to go themselves. By partnering with us in prayer and financial support, you become part of this mission. Your support helps send us to be the hands and feet of Jesus—sharing the gospel, serving communities, and helping build God’s kingdom both locally and globally. As we prepare for this season, we need to raise $22,000, which will cover our housing, food, training, and travel expenses for the full six months. Because neither of us will have an income during this time, we are trusting the Lord to provide through the generosity and prayers of those who feel led to partner with us. Every gift—no matter the amount—helps make it possible for us to say yes to what God is calling us into. We would appreciate your prayers! Please pray: That God would use our “yes” to impact lives and bring more people into His Kingdom That the Lord would give us boldness and courage as we share the gospel That during these six months, God would equip us for the callings He has placed on our lives individually and as a couple Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and for praying into what God has for us and His kingdom! We are expectant and excited to see how God will move. Your prayers and support truly mean the world to us. With gratitude, David Stamper & Jocelyn Turner Donate

Missionary Alex Moreno DONATE Hello everyone! My name is Alex Moreno!! I’m currently preparing for an incredible outreach opportunity! I’ll be serving for two months in Uganda and one week in Portugal through a program called YWAM or Youth With A Mission. During this time, I’ll be partnering with local villages, sharing my faith, and serving in practical ways to support the communities. I’m excited to step into this season of growth, purpose, and impact. To make this mission possible, I’m working to raise $2,200 for the Portugal (RISK) portion, along with $300 for required outreach immunizations and $400 to cover remaining school expenses.

Missionary Sunny Hesby DONATE Hi!! I’m so glad you’re here :)) A little about me- I started getting curious and slowly building my relationship with Jesus in 2022, which led me to reaffirm my baptism at 17 during my junior year of high school. Throughout this time He met me in some of the lowest points of my life and kept drawing me back, even when I walked away. At the end of my senior year, I dropped my plans for college and moved to Hawaii to do a six month Discipleship Training School with YWAM. What I thought would be a short season completely changed my life. It was there, at 18 years old in Kona, that I fully gave my life to Jesus. I chose to live for Him instead of myself and no longer have one foot in and one foot out in my faith. After that, I went on my outreach to Amsterdam and Germany for three months, where I saw God move in incredible ways, revealing Himself as a Father and friend to so many people, including me. During that time, my faith deepened and I began to understand my “why.” It was also when I felt the Lord calling me into full time ministry. Now at 19, I’m trusting that where God calls, He WILL provide!! I’m in a transition season as I move to North Carolina with Fire and Fragrance to keep growing in my relationship with Him and to pour into others. I feel especially called to unreached people groups and am preparing for both short-term and long-term missions through Fire and Fragrance, while also discipling young women in following Jesus. In every season, support means so much. First, I ask for prayer, that I and other missionaries would lead like Jesus and continue to grow in Him. Second, if your heart feels led to partner with me financially these are my needs for the coming season- $1,500 in monthly support. This will include: $600-700/month rent and utilities Gas Groceries Other living expenses Savings towards future outreaches Thank you for your support and reach out with any questions:)) Sunny Donate

Missionary Elijah Markey DONATE Hi! My name is Elijah, and I am currently a missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). I just finished my Discipleship Training School in Aalesund, Norway, and am now serving through mission building in Europe/North Africa and Asia. I will be beginning a secondary school called the Bible School of Nations (BSN), in July. This school is one of only two in the world, located in Mazatlan, Mexico. It focuses on studying the entire Bible thoroughly, with an emphasis on teaching and sharing the word. Not only will I be able to strengthen my own faith and hone my skills, but I will be able to bring the word to the indigenous peoples of Mexico, and share the Good News of Jesus with them. This is a beautiful opportunity. My vision for this time is to build up my own faith and prepare myself for the future, whilst also actively serving the Lord and bringing the Word to His people. Come the end of this school I want to have grown in my ability to share the Word of God in whatever industry, line of work or setting I find myself in. I want to be someone who is able to make a difference for Jesus in difficult settings. I believe that the study of Scripture is imperative to the foundations of my faith. I chose this school because it gives me the opportunity to grow my scriptural roots deep, whilst giving me the opportunity to physically further the Kingdom by going out and proclaiming the Word of God. I also want to spend any available moment I have serving, which is why I am dedicating myself to mission building in order to prepare myself for this school. Elijah Donate
