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 Alexa Jewel Lapid DONATE Hi! My name is Alexa Jewel and I send my deepest gratitude to you for being here. Over the past year, I have been living out one of the craziest adventures with Jesus which has ultimately ended in me waking up to the beautiful fact that He is calling me into missions. In the middle of my undergrad career at the University of Florida, I felt the Lord lead me away from pursuing the path to becoming a full-time architect after He told me He wanted me to be more available for His Kingdom. He then lead me to start my wedding filmmaking business, Alexa Jewel Films, which I was able to go full-time with last summer – an actual dream job, truly. But even past living out my dreams, checking off so much on my bucketlist, and watching God answer impossible prayers I've prayed for years, I remain deeply bothered by the fact that so many in the world are lost without hope. I’ve come to recognize one of the deepest burdens present in my heart is that I believe that Jesus is the most misunderstood out of all of us. The older that I grow, the deeper I fall in love with Him, and He has brought me to a point in my life where His Gospel is the most beautiful thing to me. I wish to spend my days sharing the love of Jesus Christ with the world through the products of my creativity, and begin to invite missions into that narrative. To learn even more about how Jesus lead me here, you can watch this Youtube series I filmed, telling the story in more depth: (channel) alexa jewel (playlist) start here: In this specific season, I will be taking part in a 6 month Discipleship Training School with the Circuit Riders. They are a branch of Youth with a Mission (YWAM) based in Huntington Beach, California, passionate about seeing the next generation of leaders know the love of Jesus. Starting October 2024, I will be taking classes in California learning more about God, before being sent out in January 2025 as a missionary to travel to university campuses all over America (or abroad) to most tangibly share Jesus’ love & His Gospel through worship nights and evangelism. I will be taking part in their music track where I will get to grow in my skills as a musician and learn how to lead worship well alongside my classmates. Because of this program, I will be taking a step back from my wedding business for these 6 months, to dedicate this season of my life to be a full-time missionary. It would mean the world to me if you joined in partnering with me throughout this adventure (whether prayerfully or financially). The estimated total funds for the 6 months is $13,000 which specifically goes towards tuition, housing, food, and travel during both the lecture and outreach phases. The Lord has flipped my whole life upside down in the most amazing ways as of late, and my heart is filled with gratitude knowing that this move to California is only the beginning of getting to most tangibly witness His love reach so many. It is a joy of mine to give this season of my days to most presently walk out the Great Commission [Matthew 28:16-20]. I can’t wait to keep watching Him save and transform lives. Thank you so much in advance for however you feel lead to give. Thank you for believing with me in how He is reaching hearts through my life. It is an honor to adventure with Jesus through this avenue. Your support means more than you will ever know. All for His Glory! Sincerely, Alexa Jewel Donate

Missionary Faith Pierce DONATE Hi! I’m assuming if you’ve stumbled across this page you’re looking to support me in either prayer or financially. My names Faith Pierce, I’m from St.Petersburg FL. I recently completed a Discipleship Training School (DTS) with Circuit Riders and Youth With a Mission (YWAM) this past January. My first 3 months for training were in Huntington Beach, CA and my 2 month outreach I spent with my team moving all over South Africa with our main ministry being High Schools. It changed my whole life. I got a huge heart for those who don’t know Jesus and realized Gods plan for my life is to just give up everything and follow wherever He calls me. I’m currently fundraising for my next step which is going back to South Africa specifically Potchefstroom. There I’ll be completing a 10 month Bible school called a School of Biblical Studies (SBS.) This is an intense 9 months of 40 hours a WEEK studying the Bible. Woah. In September we will get to help out with The Send South Africa and then after the 9 months there is a short mission trip following. I’m so ready to just seek Gods face so deeply in this next season. My whole school is around $8,000USD. $4,500 for my school and living costs. Around $2,000 for flights +visas and the rest of the money for food and any unexpected costs. I’m praying that you will join me on this wild ride through prayer and asking the Lord to put a number on your heart to give. Either this being a one time donation or joining me as a monthly donor to see what crazy things God is going to do! I thank you for your time and hope you have a great rest of your day! Faith Donate

Missionary Austyn Stilp DONATE Hello beautiful people !! My name is Austyn Stilp and I’m currently serving with an organization called YWAM! I attended their Discipleship Training School this past semester in January of 2024. Throughout this experience, God repeatedly left me in awestruck wonder of His infinite steadfast love! During that time, He gave me a new burning passion to invite His children to experience the same type of love and sweetness that I did. The ministry that I will be engaged with primarily focuses on training and equipping believers for their part in fulfilling the Great Commission. YWAM’s stated purpose is to “know God and to make Him known”. The nature of this specific ministry affirms the Bible as the inspired and authoritative Word of God.. as the absolute reference point for every aspect of life and ministry. It’s an international movement of Christians, from many denominations, that are dedicated to minister to this and future generations. All the while mobilizing people to “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone” (Mark 16:15 NLT) and “Go and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19 NLT). It’s truly an honor to further join this community and reach the nations for Jesus! Words can not express how grateful I am for the Lord's provision, all of the prayers, and to the people who have supported me thus far. My heart is sooo full! <3 If you feel led (or anyone that you know of) that would like to sow into this next season of my life, I would love to ask for you to partner with me through financial support and prayer! Your donation would help aid my costs of: • Housing/Rent • Food (groceries, eating out, etc.) • Transportation (car and flights) • Giving (tithes, offering, and generosity) • Self-care • Savings! If you’d like to commit to being a monthly supporter, or by giving a one-time donation, please pray about any amount and feel free to give here! With all of that being said, prayer is vital in order for any of this to happen! So, I am asking for prayer warriors to come alongside me on this journey! Details of financial funds, like-minded community, safety, flights, spiritual development, guidance, and an advancement of His kingdom… prayer is powerful!!! By your prayers and support, you are each a part of this movement of God! May all be done for His glory! Thank you, your prayers & support mean the world to me:) With so much love, Austyn <3 Donate

Missionary Chade Franklin DONATE Hey family and friends, its Chade! Last year I had the opportunity to go to YWAM. It's an international missionary program.

So this October I will be moving to Norway to get leadership training, I will then move to Kona Hawaii to staff. After that, I will be leading a team to a foreign nation. I will be gone 9 months in total, with the goal of sharing Jesus with everyone I meet! I am looking for monthly and/or one time supporters.

Missionary Autie Scott DONATE Hello Everyone! My name is Autumn (or you may know me as Autie), and I am so thrilled to share that I have been accepted, and will be attending a YWAM-DTS in Nashville, Tennessee beginning this October! Over the years of walking with Jesus, the Lord has rescued me from suicidal ideations, depression, anxiety, and addictions that began plaguing me at the young age of 14. He has also brought me peace following the losses of loved ones, including my older brother and my best friend, who passed away when she was 15. It is solely through the love and sacrifice of Jesus that I am able to live free from the chains that once bound me. In the past few years, I have lived in various states across the U.S., including Atlanta, Central Florida, Kansas City, and finally, my hometown on the Illinois side of St. Louis. Throughout these journeys, I joined various churches, from large congregations to small ones, and participated in several young adult ministries. Recently, I have also established an online small group for young women from different states who are new to their faith, guiding and supporting them in their spiritual journeys. I am looking forward to using my past and future experiences to help illuminate God's Glory to other nations. "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NIV) YWAM, or Youth With A Mission, is an international movement of Christians from many denominations dedicated to presenting Jesus personally to this and future generations, to mobilizing as many as possible to help in this task, and to the training and equipping of believers for their part in fulfilling the Great Commission. DTS, or Discipleship Training School, is a six-month intensive program that serves as an opportunity for students to deepen their relationship with God, guiding them to build the skills, character, and knowledge to bring revival and reformation in all nations. It consists of three months of lectures and three months of outreach mission trips. I am in awe of God’s goodness, to be joining the school called Fire and Fragrance: We will be reaching the lost, people who have never heard the name of Jesus, discipling and activating believers, serving local churches, all to make a deeper long-term impact in their region. These outreaches will be in places like Central Asia, Japan, the Philippines, Paraguay, Africa, and so many more places. The goal is to continue the work of evangelism, prayer, and worship uniting about Jesus and the gospel. The very first step into the ministry God has called me to begin. Your prayers will be greatly appreciated both leading up to my departure and during my time there. Please pray that preparations and travel go according to plan and that all necessary funds come in. Please keep the DTS team in your prayers that myself and the other members will come together and that God will give us wisdom. Lastly, please ask that God prepare the hearts of those we will reach, and that our team will be able to meet the needs of those we meet. In addition to requesting your prayers, I am asking for financial support as I follow God’s calling. I have estimated that I will need to raise about $12,000 by October 1, 2025. Additionally, I will need personal funds to support my lecture phase for basic necessities (food, gas, toiletries). Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me financially this season? Your support will help me cover fees including airfare and transportation, travel visas, lecture phase courses and materials, outreach phase costs, as well as food, room, and board. In addition to looking for sponsors, I have been working hard to save up as much money as I can on my own. A donation of any size makes an enormous difference and I would be incredibly thankful for any kind of support. In return for the donation, I will have a monthly update on my Facebook/Instagram pages and be sure to send to those personally via email or text to those without social media. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and I will continue to update you as I take steps on this path! Blessings, Autumn (Autie) Scott Donate

MISSIONARY Karina Seaborn DONATE Hi! I am Karina Seaborn, a full-time missionary with Youth With A Mission(YWAM) in Battambang, Cambodia originally from California in the United States. My missions journey started when I was attending CSU Sacramento and working on my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition. While I was a student there, I was part of a club called Chi Alpha(XA) under the organization called The Assemblies Of God. With Chi Alpha, I went on my very first mission trip to Cambodia in 2018 and then to The Philippines in 2019. After having gone on my mission trip to Cambodia, I was moved by God to do further missions training and did my Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Tauranga, New Zealand through YWAM in October 2019, the same year I graduated from university, until March 2020, before all of the lockdowns. During DTS, my eyes were opened to how good of a father God is and how He longs to be in a relationship with the rest of His children throughout the world. During my time in New Zealand, God revealed to me that He wanted to equip me in knowing what He has said through His Word and also be transformed by it. In the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic, God sent me to Cambridge, England in 2021 to be a student at the Chronological School of Biblical Studies (CSBS), where I studied God's word for 9 months! I was then led to do a Spirit & Truth Bible Seminar in Mendocino, California in 2022 after completing my Bible school, which brought an amazing conclusion to my Bible training. Since 2018, I have known that God’s plan for me was to go back to Cambodia and serve for however long God wanted. Now that I have done the training that God led me to do, I am now back in Cambodia after 5 years. I can now say that I am a bit more confident in: knowing what is in the Bible, as well as myself living in God, as I am sent out, whether it be in the jungles of Vanuatu, the slums of the Philippines, the ancient temples of Cambodia, one of the most prestigious universities in the world in England or even within my community at home in Northern California. I would be honored if you would prayerfully consider partnering with me as I try my best to be obedient to where God continues to lead me as an ambassador for His kingdom and bring more into the loving family that many of us know about. Thank you so much! Karina Donate
