MISSIONARY Eli Shirk DONATE Hey! My name is Eli and I’m a missionary with YWAM Circuit Riders in Huntington Beach, California. Our purpose as Circuit Riders is to carry the love of Jesus to university and high school campuses across America and creatively catalyze the schools and their regions into salvation, awakening, and multiplication. The heart of the Circuit Riders is to save the lost, revive the saved and train them all. God gripped my life when I was 15 and spoke worship creative over my life. Since then, I have been moving into that calling over my life; leading worship, working AVL, doing productions for churches, and learning the heart of Christ every day. After, I graduated in 2020 I moved into missions with YWAM planning to go to YWAM Toowoomba, Australia. But God had different plans with COVID, and after 9 months waiting and God showing me more of the Holy Spirit and His nature, I started the Circuit Riders Experience! God has revealed so much of His heart to me during CRX and a true revelation of His love for who I am. I am moved by His heart for the generations of people still to walk this Earth and especially His heart for Gen Z. Working with CR we are passionate about reaching these people and showing them Christ and the gospel. In becoming a fulltime missionary, and partnering with God in this way, means that I trust for an income that is not my own. I would be honored if you prayerfully considered partnering with me and what God is doing in and across America! The true gospel is advancing once again across America and God must get the glory for it! Donate

Missionary Naomi Kline DONATE Hi friends! My name is Naomi and I'm currently serving as a full-time missionary with an organization called Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Beginning of the year 2024 I did a Discipleship Training School with YWAM Kona (Hawaii). During my time there God gripped my heart for missions across the globe. Now I burn to see youth discipled towards deeper intimacy with God and activated towards the Great Commission. I want to see revival in every nation and the Gospel spread in the least reached places of the earth! That's why I've decided to partner with YWAM and the vision that they carry, to see waves of young people go from every nation to every nation, spreading the truth of the Gospel everywhere they go. Did you know that YWAM is one of the world’s largest missionary movements with 1,800 campuses in over 180 countries? It is both international and includes people from all denominations. YWAM’s primary focuses are 1. Training 2. Evangelism 3. Mercy Ministry. Their motto is: "To know God and make Him known". My role in YWAM will be as a full-time staff member with Fire and Fragrance South Africa (FFSA) (which is a part of YWAM). FFSA has about 18 different ministries running at the moment, that all focus on the three main areas mentioned above. Currently, I'll be working within a ministry called Educating for Life. Our goal is to rewrite the narrative of Africa through education. We train teachers, offering them a biblical foundation in education and practical tools for classroom management. It is my intention to continue following God’s call on my life serving as a full-time missionary. But I can’t do it alone, and I don’t want to try! I need a team of partners who will stand with me so that the good news of Jesus can be shared throughout the nations. I know that together, we can change many lives. My invitation to you is to be part of the story that God is writing here and partner with me in prayer and finances. My goal is to raise $2,500 per month to cover: • Housing • Food • Transportation • Health insurance • Phone plan • Outreach expenses • Tithing I am willing to GO but I need a team of partners that is willing to SEND me! So would you prayerfully consider partnering with me monthly or giving a single gift? "In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel." 1 Corinthians 9:14 ESV Thank you to each and every one of my partners for investing into God's Kingdom and standing with me in prayer! You are highly loved and appreciated, and your generosity will not go unnoticed before our heavenly Father. Please reach out to me if you have any questions!

MISSIONARY Laura Guiste DONATE Hi! My name is Laura Guiste, I’m 22, and I am a part of Youth With A Mission. At YWAM, our focus is to know God and make him known. For the past 4 years, I’ve been a “ywamer”, serving and going deeper in my relationship with the Lord in order to bring people to the places I’ve been with God. I’m currently serving at YWAM Kona with a ministry training course called Foundations for Revival and Reformation. This is a 9-month course with 3 three-month focuses. The first focus is reading the entirety of the Bible and understanding it in its context. The second focus is Biblical Worldview and Christian Ethics, where students learn what it looks like to live out what the Bible says in every aspect of culture, while also learning why they believe what they believe. The third focus is learning how to effectively communicate a Biblical worldview lovingly in every type of setting. My job is to be a tutor and mentor to a group of the students as they go through this course, as well as helping facilitate various aspects of the course in order to help it function. I’m very excited to help future Christian leaders understand what the Lord had in mind when He established the framework of culture and how we should thrive in it. YWAM value number 16 is practice dependence on God for finances. Everything I do unto the Lord, through YWAM, is solely dependent on Him warming people’s hearts and giving them the vision of the impact He’s called me to make. God loves partnering with His creation. If the Lord has put it on your heart to give towards my life furthering the Kingdom, I so greatly appreciate it. If you have any questions or would like to know more details, feel free to email me at lauracrossingoceansforlove@gmail.com. Laura Donate

Missionary Kaleigh O'Connor DONATE Hey y’all! For the last two years I participated in YWAM’s Discipleship Training School [DTS] and leadership training in Kona, a discipleship program that equips young adults to go out into the nations to spread the gospel and share how God has changed our lives. The first half of the training each year was our Lecture Phase—with classes and a focus on worship and interceding for nations and people groups. The second half of our training was the Outreach Phase. After completing YWAM leadership training in the fall of 2023, it was my honor to serve as a staff member for the first Brave Love Discipleship Training School. Brave Love is an all-women’s ministry. It is a growing movement and network of women seeking to awaken other women to their deep significance and purpose in God. I was able to disciple young women this winter, and lead a team to Africa. I will be staying in Kona for the next few years, working with Ho’ola Na Pua, an anti-trafficking organization that helps those who are coming out of trafficking or are at risk of being trafficked. I will be working in the Starfish mentoring program which mainly focuses on mentoring young girls who are at risk of being trafficked. I’m so excited to see how God uses me in this program! I will also continue to be involved with the Brave Love Women’s Discipleship Training School (DTS). I know that God will continue to give direction to my own life as I invest in others. I am stepping into the role of a full-time missionary, and I will need people to walk along- side to offer support. Would you prayerfully consider supporting me financially or in prayer as I follow the Lord's calling for these next steps? Words can’t express how grateful I am for all the love, prayers, and support I’m receiving to pursue the calling God placed on my life! I appreciate y'all so much! Kaleigh Donate

Missionary Megan White DONATE Hi, I'm Megan White! During my DTS in 2023, God ignited a passion in my heart for women to know for what, and whom, they were made for; who they are in Gods eyes. He has, over the last 2 years, made it so incredibly clear that I was made for the nations! My vision is to get trained and equipped to be able to be planted in a nation where there is a great need for the Gospel, a strong community, and an urgent need in the area of maternal health, to champion, advocate for, and educate the local community (wherever that may be). I would love to invite you to sow into this vision of mine through one-time or monthly support! My current one-time support goal is $10,000 to attend the maternal health school and its outreach, but as I am planning to continue to work in ministry/missions I would also invite you to consider monthly support. Thank you, Megan White Please feel free to contact me with any questions at megwhi22@gmail.com or +1(707)708-9462 Donate

MISSIONARY Bryce DONATE Bryce is a full-time missionary in the 10/40 Window God has called Bryce to live long-term in the Middle East, a critical and spiritually contested region in the 10/40 Window . There, he will be partnering with underground churches and public ministries by equipping and discipling local leaders, pastors, and believers to rise up as revivalists and kingdom advancers. Bryce will also partner with local believers to write the first-ever worship songs in their regional dialects—songs that glorify Jesus and declare the love of God pursuing His bride. His vision is to see the entire Middle East shaken by the power of the gospel—breaking the bondage of demonic ideologies rooted in Islam, and awakening hearts to the freedom, identity, and love found in Jesus Christ! Bryce is building a team of monthly supporters giving $5,000/month combined. This funding covers housing & living costs, ministry work, flights & visas, and outreach efforts in the 10/40 Window . Would you prayerfully consider joining Bryce’s monthly support team or making a one-time investment toward this mission? What is the 10/40 window? Missions exist because worship does not. The region spanning North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia between 10 and 40 degrees north latitude, often called the “Resistant Belt,” where the largest concentration of unreached people groups lives and where the majority of the world’s Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists remain with little or no access to a Bible and truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Over 3.5 billion people still live without access to the gospel because no one has gone to tell them, and this generation is being confronted with the call of Isaiah 6: “Here am I. Send me.” The need is not for spectators, but for people willing to go—formed in committed community, burning with passion for God’s presence, and ready to see the nations encounter Him. Donate

MISSIONARY Selby & Kayla Barua DONATE My name is Kayla Barua and my husband Selby and I are missionaries with YWAM Kona. As many of you know I started with YWAM in 2018 when I did a discipleship training school (DTS). I met Selby when I was on my outreach in Papua New Guinea and we began dating shortly after I left Papua New Guinea. In 2019, I went back to Kona to lead a DTS as a staff member and led an outreach team to Brazil. Selby started with YWAM in Papua New Guinea in 2016. He led outreach teams all across Papua New Guinea as a translator and guide. In 2018, Selby did a DTS in Kona and did his outreach in the Himalayas. Then he returned to Papua New Guinea to continue leading teams for YWAM. Before Selby and I even met, God had spoken to us separately about being long-term missionaries in the Himalayas. So when we started dating, we began to talk and dream about being missionaries in the Himalayas together. We have a heart to see God move in the nations and see lives transformed by the Gospel. We got married last year and have been planning on how and when we should launch into full-time missions. In the midst of all the craziness of 2020 and many health issues for both of us, we started asking God what the next step for us as missionaries and as a married couple should be. We both felt like God was inviting us to go even deeper with Him and strength our foundation before we go into the nations. So Selby and I are returning to Kona, HI to do a 9-month school called The Foundations of Revival and Reformation. This school will teach us inductive bible study, Biblical worldview, and learning how to effectively communicate spiritual revelations and scripture to impact the world around us. Our long term goal is to be in the nations, but we believe God wants to give us a few more tools for our tool belts before we are commissioned out. We are eager and excited to start this new adventure with God together. We can’t wait to see how God will move and to share it with you. But we can’t get there without your help. Would you consider partnering with us financially and prayerfully? We want to invite you to sow into what God is doing in and through our lives. Please join us in prayer as we make the move back to Kona and step into what God has called us to do. We are so thankful for each and every one of you. Blessings, Selby and Kayla Barua Donate

Missionary Jenna Vanden Brink DONATE Hi, I'm Jenna Vanden Brink and I'm currently serving with YWAM Ships Kona. I attended their Discipleship Training School in January of 2024. In this 6-month time frame, God really infused a love for the nations as well as discipling people to know God and make Him Known. YWAM Ships Kona is an organization that equips young people to be missionaries while also teaching them more about God. I would love for you to partner with me in prayer and finances as I am working hard to spread the good news in the nations as well as teaching people more about the Lord. This is an unpaid staffing position which is where I will need prayer and finances! I need $1,200 -$2,000 a month which will cover the costs of: room and board, food, outreaches, transportation (flights, car), and any self-care. I would feel so blessed if you would like to become a monthly supporter or a one-time donor towards making my dreams of being a missionary possible!

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

Missionary Oscar & Maya Mejia DONATE We are MAYA & OSCAR, a cross-cultural couple from Japan and Peru, currently serving as missionaries in South Africa. We come from totally opposite cultures. That’s right! From a structure-oriented culture to a more spontaneous pace of life. From “being 5 minutes before time” is on time to “being a little late” is normally expected. From not expressing love through physical contact to openly expressing love through hugs and kisses. Like the language of love surpasses all understanding and differences, we are two lovers of Jesus Christ, pursuing his ways to bring His glory on earth. Alrighty! so, here’s an interesting fact . Did you know that 1 in 4 Christians today are Africans? and within the next 50 years it will be 1 in 3 ? This will make Africa the center for worldwide Christianity!... which poses the urgent need for discipleship and training of young African Christian leaders and the churches. Knowing that …God gave us a vision: to partner with the local church in South Africa to see more South Africans finding and pursuing their personal call within the Great Commission…reflecting God’s Mission in everyday life…from South Africa to the whole Africa and till the ends of the world. To do so, we are PARTNERING with PERSPECTIVES, a global ministry aimed at equipping local churches to be equally engaged and mission-aware to support local missions movements. We also partner with other ministries on a more relational basis. All in all, WE ARE PASSIONATE about DISCIPLESHIP of the next generations, MEMBER CARE for other kingdom workers, TEACHING about God’s Mission and MISSIONS MOBILIZATION; and STORYTELLING CONTENT to share God’s amazing work through people’s stories😉 From wherever you are, you can be the extension of what God’s doing in South Africa through your dearly prayers and financial support, be it once-off or a monthly contribution. With Love, Maya & Oscar Donate
