Missionary Trista Hickey DONATE Hey Friends! My name is Trista and I’m currently serving on staff with Youth With a Mission (YWAM) Twin Cities! Since the age of 9 God began to speak to me about missions. From that age on I always knew I would go to YWAM. In the Fall of 2023 I did my Discipleship Training School in YWAM Kona. During my time there my heart began to burn for the nations and the Great Commission. I had the absolute honor of doing my outreach in Turkey. While I was there God gave me a dream and a vision about fiery-eyed college and youth running with the Gospel. Since coming home I couldn’t shake these visions from the Lord. He began to speak to me about a youth missions movement in my home state. “Why not Minnesota?” YWAM Twin Cities’ vision “to cultivate a sending and receiving missional community in the Twin Cities reaching every sphere from neighborhoods to nations”. Our mission field is our local communities, colleges, but also the nations. We want to activate everyone, in every sphere, into the Great Commission. One of the initiatives out of YWAM Twin Cities is a youth missions movement. Practically this could look like van outreaches, circuit riding colleges, speaking at youth groups, and various other platforms. We want to see Gen Z launched into the Great Commission! We want Jesus to receive His full reward in our generation! I cannot begin to express my thanks to God and you who have supported me for making my dream of being a missionary real life. I would love to ask for you to prayerfully consider partnering with me through prayer and financial support! If you’d like to commit to being a monthly supporter, or giving a one-time donation, please pray about an amount and you can give here! You are each a part of this movement of God! By your prayer and support, you are with me as I go! Thank you! With Love, Trista Donate

Missionary Kaitlyn Duffy DONATE Hi! My name is Kaitlyn Duffy! The Lord has sparked my heart for missions and given me a passion to see revival in our nation. This past year, I went on World Race, which was a 9 month mission trip with about 45 other teens to share the love of Jesus and to serve in Guatemala, Romania, and Eswatini. It was amazing and taught me so much about the Lord and His desire to see all people come to know His perfect love. God continued to break my heart for the brokenness in this world and for those lost. He showed me that there is no greater calling on my life than to follow wherever He wants me. Through praying and seeking the Lord’s will, I believe that He has called me to another season of ministry on the field!! Beginning in October, I will spend about six months doing Circuit Riders, a non profit missions organization through Youth With a Mission (YWAM). Circuit Riders is an organization whose goal is to “build your relationship with Jesus, develop you as a leader, and send you as a missionary.” I will spend the first half in Huntington Beach, California taking classes and learning how to give messages publicly, while simultaneously doing outreach and ministry in the community around me. The second half of Circuit Riders is mobilization. Here, we will be split off into smaller groups and sent out! We will travel around and partner with high schools and colleges and put on events with the hopes of seeing revival in our generation. It is estimated that only 4% of our generation has a biblical worldview, which means that we live in a generation where most people do not truly know Jesus. I believe fully that the Lord’s heart is for redemption, reconciliation, and revival for our generation. My heart is to see a generation on fire for Jesus. A generation whose hope is placed in the only One who will never fail them. A generation whose identity is not in the wavering idols of this world, but in the One who created them with purpose. I want to see a generation that many have been labeled as lost, found. I want to see the Holy Spirit move and revival break out. I believe that no nation, state, school, or person is too far gone for the love of Christ. I am beyond excited to see all that the Lord has in store for this season. I believe that the Holy Spirit is moving and that “the harvest is ready, but the laborers are few” (Matthew 9:37). As I prepare for this mission, I am reaching out to ask you for your support and prayers. I am aiming to fundraise $10,000! This would pay for my food, flights, training, classes, and housing. I am so amazed at the provision of the Lord and your willingness to pray for me and join me on this journey. Kaitlyn Donate

MISSIONARY Christian Tenguan DONATE Aloha and mahalo for your heart to partner with me in Japan! With less than 1% of Japan identifying as Christian and thousands of pastors preparing to retire by 2030, the church’s future depends on raising young leaders now.

Missionary Ethan De La Cruz DONATE Hey Guys! I have such an amazing opportunity to share the gospel across the U.S. and internationally. Words cannot describe how excited I am to share that I’ll be attending Circuit Riders’ 5-Month Discipleship Training School in Huntington Beach, California! This school is a movement-focused, Jesus-centered training experience designed to raise up a generation that lives fully surrendered to the Gospel and radically committed to reaching those who are lost. For the first two and a half months, I’ll be in the lecture phase—where I’ll be surrounded by passionate leaders and students from around the world, all hungry to grow deeper in their walk with Jesus. We’ll be diving into core topics like: • Intimacy with God • Identity and freedom in Christ • Evangelism and missional living • Hearing God's voice • Living by the power of the Holy Spirit • Character, integrity, and leadership It’s not just about knowing the Bible—it’s about the transformation of hearts. Through daily worship, prayer, teaching, and community life, I’ll be learning how to live a lifestyle of surrender, passion, and obedience to Jesus. My personal track and focus will be as a MESSENGER—which is such a huge part of my heart and calling. Being a messenger of God’s Word means that I am the Lord's vessel which means sharing the truth of the Gospel, proclaiming His Word with clarity and power, and bringing His message of hope and love to a world in need. I’ll be trained specifically in how to effectively communicate the heart of God, whether through preaching, teaching, or personal conversations. This track also focuses on building a heart of purity, humility, and boldness, ensuring that I’m living out the message I’m sharing. After the lecture phase, I’ll be stepping into a 2-month outreach phase internationally! I will be traveling with a team to high schools, universities, churches, and public spaces to share the love of Jesus, preach the Gospel, and see lives transformed. It’s about being the hands and feet of Jesus in a generation that’s hungry for hope and truth. I truly believe this is a Spirit-led season of equipping, sending, and walking in faith. I would be honored to have you partner with me through both prayer and financial support. I am currently raising $9,000 to help cover the costs of living, travel, and ministry. Whether it’s a one-time gift or monthly support, every bit goes toward helping me step into this calling and bringing the message of Jesus to the world. Thank you for believing in me and being part of what God is doing! -Ethan Donate

Mervin Lapp DONATE Hey my name is Merv Lapp and I’m a first year student at Jesus School. Jesus school is a place where people that are hungry to grow more in-depth with Jesus Christ and know Him as our Bridegroom King. Their focus point is the cross as Jesus is “the one thing that’s needed”(Luke 10:42). I believe God has called me here for me to know Him in a deeper way and to teach me the importance of the secret place. I want to invite you to partner with me in prayer and financially as I continue to surrender to His will and calling He has placed on my life. I love y’all and I’ll be forever indebted to you. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior Amen Merv Donate

Missionary Natan Marcal DONATE Hey, welcome to my page. I hope you are doing well and I would like to tell you about my life and what I do in missions. My name is Natan I was born and raised in Brasil I am the youngest of 2. I lived in Brasil for 11 years. I lived in a city located on the coast of Brasil between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo called Espirito Santo. I lived there with my grandma and my uncle and my two brothers. After years went by my dad told us that we would be moving to the United States. In 2011 my brothers and I moved to New Hampshire in the United States. This city is located in the Northeast very close to Boston. I lived there for 12 years with my dad, stepmom, and my brothers. I was blessed to get a little brother who was born in 2011. His name is Felipe and I love him so much. After 12 years of living in New Hampshire, I heard about YWAM( Youth With Mission) and talked to my friend who told me about YWAM's DTS Program( Disciple Training School). I was so excited and decided this was the next step for me. Last year in September I came and did my DTS and it was one of the best experiences that I ever had in my life. I was able to learn more about Jesus and his love for me and how to hear his voice. For my outreach, I went with a team to the island of Bocas del Toro right off the coast of Panama. To get there the only way is by plane or boat. I stayed there for 2 months working with the local people and was able to share with them about the love of Jesus. During that time I felt the call to be a missionary so I moved back to Hawaii and joined YWAM to work in their DTS program as a staff member. So today, I live in Hawaii and I know I made the best decision because I am doing what God has called me to do. I have made a two-year commitment with YWAM and during these two years, I will be working with DTS. I love what I do and I feel like I never have Mondays because every day feels like a Friday. I love to see many young men and women transformed by Jesus and say with their mouths that they never saw or heard about Jesus before. Then they go home and are in love with Jesus and burning for Jesus. My job is to take them back to Jesus and show them that Jesus is kind, loving, and can be your best friend if you want and if you let Him be. For every question, I direct them back to Jesus and I let them ask those questions to Jesus. And the best thing is that Jesus responds to them and they come back and tell me that they have received an answer from Jesus. Because my goal and all that I want is to bring them back to Jesus and let them know that Jesus will always be there for them. He will never leave or hurt or abandon them because he is the only person who never leaves. When they understand that, nothing can stop them because they know that Jesus speaks and is near to them. So after that, all that I do is walk with them and keep directing them toward Jesus. I hope you got to know me a little better and were able to see my heart and my vision for my mission. Thank you for reading my bio and I pray that God will bless you and your whole family. Feel free to join my team and be a part of this story that Jesus is writing. Love you and God bless you.

Missionary David Ball DONATE Hey there! My name is David Ball, and I am a local missionary in Clemmons, North Carolina! I gave my life to the Lord in the Fall of my Sophomore year in high school, and since then, my goal has been to spread the good news of Jesus to everyone around me! In 2024, a couple of my friends and I started Throneroom Initiative, a ministry that aimed to create a community for believers to come together and worship the Lord in spirit and truth weekly. God blessed Throneroom in mighty ways, and we plan to continue ministering to many high schoolers and college students in the time to come! Walking with the Lord in this time, He has highlighted the spiritual hunger that is developing among the nations. I will be attending the Circuit Riders DTS in January, where I will be enabled to allow so many to quench that spiritual hunger through life in the Lord! This is a ministry I have partnered with in the past, and I have seen the way the Circuit Riders depend on the Lord to make a huge impact for his kingdom. I will be attending my lecture phase in January, where I will learn how to lead various-sized worship events and establish local ministry in foreign nations. During this time, I will live in a house in Huntington Beach, California. Then I'll leave in March for outreach! During this phase, a group of us will go to a foreign nation and host worship events, disciple the local people, and enable community leaders to carry on ministering when we leave. I could not be more excited! I would love it if you partnered with me financially and in prayer! Your support is what has allowed me to minister in Clemmons, so I thank you for whatever the Lord is leading you to do. I am looking to raise $16,000! Here is a breakdown of that figure: 1. Fees - I pay fees for both the lecture phase and the outreach phase. These payments cover housing, materials, and references, as well as several other factors 2. Flights - I am responsible for paying for my flights to Huntington Beach, to my outreach location, and back home. 3. Other expenses - I will be responsible for transportation, groceries, self-care items, and many other things during this time. I love every one of you, and I thank you for all of the ways you support me. I believe that the Lord will bless you in your generosity, whether it is through time in prayer or a financial gift!
