Missionary Michelle Rodriguez DONATE Hello! My name is Michelle Rodriguez and I am burning for the nations to proclaim the Name of Jesus. I grew up in a Catholic household with very mixed views on who Jesus was. In August of 2020 Jesus met me in my room and has radically changed my life. Two years later, the Lord called me out into becoming a full-time missionary. During this year I will also be attending Lifestyle Christianity University. Lifestyle Christianity University(LCU) is an equipping program designed to disciple me in my God-given identity and equip me to extend the love of Jesus in my day-to-day life! LCU offers a two-year program with a third-year internship. Classroom time is composed of worship, extended teaching, outreach, elective classes, and life groups! "Our goal is simple: to equip you to take the gospel outside of the 4 walls of the church as part of your everyday life." -LCU I believe that Jesus is calling this generation of young leaders to bring Revival to every nation, tribe and tongue. Your prayer is greatly needed during this time, additionally. If the Lord has put a fire in your heart to pour into these next steps of Faith, please feel free to use any of the methods below: "The Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares, "I will gather yet others to him besides those already gathered.""

Missionary Jornel & Geetha Rivera DONATE In 2022, we participated in YWAM DTS Kona, where we received training and preparation for mission work. This experience equipped us for the outreach opportunities that followed. In 2023, we embarked on an outreach mission in Vietnam. Following Vietnam, we joined an outreach mission in Bad Blankenburg. There, we had the opportunity to give assistance to Ukrainian refugees who had fled the war. Providing physical, mental, and spiritual support to these individuals brought hope and healing amidst challenging circumstances. From Germany, we joined a medical mission trip to Kurdistan, Iraq. Responding to an invitation from the Kurdish military, we provided medical services to the soldiers and their family, using traditional medicine while also offering prayers for the sick. It was a profound privilege to share the love of Jesus with the Muslim people, demonstrating the compassion and care that He embodies. These mission experiences have shaped our perspectives, deepened our faith, and ignited a passion within us to continue serving others with love and dedication. Through these opportunities, we have witnessed lives being transformed, communities being empowered, and the love of Jesus being shared in tangible ways. On August 2023, Geetha and I joined YWAM Ships Philippines, where we have served as dedicated full-time volunteer staff missionaries. YWAM Ships Philippines’ mission is to bring hope to the secluded islands of the Pacific. YWAM Ships strive to serve the nations and improve the lives of individuals by providing vital medical and dental care in remote locations. Personally, our role will focus on training and equipping the medical and dental volunteers from various countries. Additionally, we will also be involved in raising financial support to procure essential medical supplies for our mission endeavors in the Pacific. Our mission statement is as follows: Teach, Preach, and Heal: Reflects Jesus' multifaceted ministry approach, encompassing teaching, preaching, and healing. Compassionate Service: Emphasizes the importance of serving others with compassion, mirroring Jesus' ministry of love and care. Mentoring a Few : Mirrors Jesus' intentional investment in a small group of disciples for deeper mentorship and discipleship. Train People Who Can Train Others: Reflects Jesus' strategy of equipping disciples to multiply their training, enabling exponential growth in discipleship. Mission Trend: Shifting from Direct Care to Teaching : Recognizes a contemporary trend in missions towards emphasizing teaching and equipping over direct care provision. Empowering Others : Encourages empowering individuals to perform tasks themselves, aligning with Jesus' principle of enabling others to utilize their abilities fully. Cultural Relevance : Stresses the importance of understanding and integrating into the local culture, language, and systems] Multiplication of Capabilities: Highlights the necessity of multiplying capabilities and increasing capacity among disciples for sustainable ministry growth. Romans 10:14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 1 Chronicles 16:24 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. This is why we do what we do and why we need your prayers of support. Jornel & Geetha Donate

Missionary Jacob Kami DONATE My name is Jacob Kami, and I’m a full-time missionary from Sydney, Australia, currently serving with Circuit Riders, a branch of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) based in Huntington Beach, California. My heart burns to see the world fall back in love with its first love—Jesus—and to help people discover the freedom that is only found in Him. This isn’t just a mission; it’s the story of my life. ⸻ My Journey I grew up in church and was surrounded by the gospel and worship for as long as I can remember. In 2015, I made the decision to get baptized—but if I’m being honest, I didn’t fully surrender my life to Jesus then. I continued to live in cycles of sin, not realizing there was a greater freedom available to me. Everything changed when I took a bold step and did a Discipleship Training School (DTS) in 2024. During that time, Jesus radically transformed my life. I finally encountered the fullness of His love and the power of His freedom. I realized that true surrender isn’t a loss—it’s a gain. It’s the beginning of real life. ⸻ The Mission Circuit Riders exists to revive the saved, empower the lost, and save them all through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Being part of this movement has been one of the biggest blessings of my life. I feel so honored and expectant to be used by God to reach my generation and the generations to come. I know this is only the beginning. ⸻ How You Can Partner With Me As a full-time missionary, I fully rely on the generosity of people like you—those who believe in the mission God has placed on my life. I’m looking to build a team of partners who will support me through prayer and financial giving. I’m believing for $2,000 USD in monthly support, which will go directly toward the following: • Giving (Tithes, offering, generosity) • Housing/Rent • Food (Groceries, meals out) • Transportation (Car expenses, ministry travel, and flights) • Self-Care (Medication, hygiene, wellness) • Savings for stewardship and sustainability If this is something God is putting on your heart, I would love for you to prayerfully consider becoming a monthly supporter or even giving a one-time donation to help bring the Gospel to people who have never truly encountered Jesus. ⸻ “You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.” — 2 Corinthians 9:11 (NIV) ⸻ From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story. Whether you partner through prayer, finances, or encouragement—please know that you are just as much a part of this mission as I am. For questions or to connect with me directly, feel free to email me at jacobisraelkami@gmail.com or reach out on Instagram @jacobisraelkami. Let’s see God’s Kingdom come—together. Jacob Donate

Missionary Christopher & Paloma Billion DONATE Hi, we are the Billion family! My family and I recently completed our family DTS with Ywam Kona. We did our outreach, at the YWAM Hopeland base. During that time we participated in many ministries, including but not limited to prison ministries, Home of Hope (orphaned dissabled children), door to door evangelism, street evangelism, Bible distribution, feeding hungry children in the slums of Mesese 3, as well as other ministries. That experience changed our hearts. We as a family are returning to Uganda as full-time missionaries. We are answering Gods calling on our lives. Mark 16:15 says, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel." sharing the love of God with others. The people of Uganda are so hungry for the word of God, but sadly the vast majority of people we where ministering to don't have Bibles in their heart languages and cannot afford them. We are called to know Christ and make Him known. The primary ministry we will be working with among others is ending Bible Poverty now. We are prayerfully seeking others to partner with us financially and prayerfully to accomplish this. We appreciate your time and consideration. Alone, this is a daunting task, but together, in line with the Will of God, we can lead people to salvation through Christ, as well as help others create a personal relationship with their creator. Thank you and God Bless, Christopher & Paloma Donate

Missionary Tristan Brink DONATE Hello friends and family! My name is Tristan and I am a full time missionary serving with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) based out of Kona, Hawaii. I attended Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Kona in the fall of 2023. Since then I have been set on fire for the Lord and helping to see the great commission fulfilled! In DTS I encountered the Lord in such a beautiful way. From that experience, I realized the biggest calling in my life was to go fourth and help bring the truth of the gospel to all people, from all nations. I have had the honor and privilege to go on multiple outreach mission trips. I have witnessed many miracles, healings and wonders. Through it all, I have seen hundreds of salvations! However, I know the Lord still has more ways to use me out in the world and I don't plan on stopping in missions any time soon! As I stated earlier, I currently serve with YWAM out of Kona, Hawaii, specifically as a staff member with the training school: Fire and Fragrance. F&F really reaches the hearts of its students and sets them up in such a great way to live a missional life. It teaches them to serve, care for and evangelize to people. Fire and Fragrance also has two goals at heart when it comes to missions. Reaching the “least reached” people of the world and also starting youth movements in the places where God is already accepted/known. Overall our goal is to see revival start like fire and to keep that fire burning. It really is an honor to say I am a part of a school that changes so many lives, as well as taking part in the missions that are shaping the world as we speak. I am truly thankful to God for the way He’s moving with me, through me and the calling He’s placed upon my life in missions. It truly is the life path I choose to be in! I have strongly felt His calling to long term missions. So, I am working to set myself up to live a life somewhere that people do not know Jesus. I want to bring His hope and light amongst these people! Without people like you, much of what I do would not be possible. Which is why I am asking for your partnership in financial aid and prayer! My goal is to raise $3,000 a month for: • Tithing (funds for local missionaries, churches and organizations or those in need) • Housing/Rent • Food (groceries, for myself & for hosting students or contacts… for relationship building and teaching) • Transportation (flights, and other ground transportations) • And savings for long term mission goals! If monthly donations sound like too big of a commitment at the moment, one time donations are welcome too. Every dollar counts towards my funding goal! I ask that you would pray and ask God if you are being called to partner with me to become a monthly supporter in my mission goals, or if you are able to send a one time donation. It would mean very much to me and would help me in my goal of fundraising enough for His ministry. Like I stated earlier, every dollar and every prayer helps! Your support means so much to me and I am more than grateful for any contribution. It does not go unseen! Thank you again for your support, prayers and time! -Tristan Brink “The way you discover your gifts is really by serving, not by searching.” -Loren Cunningham, founder Youth With A Mission Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send!? Who will go for us?” And I said “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:8 Donate

Missionary Caitlin Van der Merwe DONATE My name is Caitlin van der Merwe, I am 26 years old and currently a full-time missionary with Fire and Fragrance South Africa which is a missions organization that forms part of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and is based in Potchefstroom, South Africa. My burning heart desires to see reformation within South Africa and the continent of Africa. I not only desire to go and spread the beautiful Gospel of Jesus but also to meet the needs of His people by bringing reformation where needed. I currently lead a ministry, called Woven, where we work with sexually exploited and vulnerable women on the streets in South Africa. Due to the demographics of where we minister, we also get to deal with gangsters and pimps in our town. Our goal is to not only work with these women hands-on but also to invite other believers to stand for justice and extend mercy. Everything that I am doing is on a voluntary basis, which I am able to do long-term through the support of those who have the same heart for missions and to see the Kingdom advance. I want to ask if you would be willing to partner with me financially and/or in prayer. Caitlin Donate

Missionaries Chaves Family DONATE Hello, we are the Chaves Family, and God has called us to serve in the East of the world, reaching those who have never heard of Him! Both my wife and I received our individual calls to missions during our YWAM DTS outreach. Since then, we stayed involved in missions, serving locally in our home country of Costa Rica. During this time, our family grew, and we were in a “sweet spot” in life. However, God had a different plan for us. He clearly called us to become full-time missionaries and move to Japan—a nation where less than 2% of the population knows Jesus. Can you believe that? We are deeply convinced that there is a revival happening in Latin America, and now God is raising up Latinos to go to unreached nations. We feel honored to be part of this movement. Our mission is not only to introduce Jesus to the Japanese people but also to raise awareness about the challenges Japan faces due to a lack of hope and connection to God. For example, in the first half of 2023 alone, nearly 22,000 people committed suicide, including teenagers. This heart-wrenching reality reflects the desperate loneliness and hopelessness that only Jesus can heal. We are currently fundraising and aiming to be in Japan by March–April 2025. However, we believe it is essential to reach at least 80% of our total budget before moving so we can focus fully on our ministry goals without distraction. Every day, we recognize our deep need for Jesus, and our family prayer is that we will always be where He wants us. We trust that He is already present in this mission, as this is His dream: these people, their hearts, and their souls. This journey is not about us—it is about His thoughts and plans. God has big ideas He wants to bring to life, and we are simply His messengers, inviting others to partner with Him. We pray for those whose hearts are stirred by His plans, trusting that God is moving through you. “My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. It’s also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.” 1 John 3:18-20 MSG With love and gratitude, The Chaves Family Donate

Missionary Trey Bohning DONATE Hey everyone, I'm entering my second season as a missionary with YWAM. Along this journey I have fallen deeply in love with Jesus and his ministry (Loving people, making disciples, and preaching the gospel). The Lord gave me a heart to serve in long term missions and I believe he has me in a time of preparation, which is why I will be doing a secondary school with YWAM. I'm so expectant for what the Lord has in store! I truly couldn't do it with out all of y'alls support I'm beyond blessed. Trey Donate

Missionary Roza Doci DONATE Hi friends, My name is Roza. I come from a Catholic background but met Jesus personally through my sister. In 2002, I did a DTS with YWAM in Albania, where God gave me a heart for the least reached. Since then, I’ve been serving full-time with YWAM Albania for over 20 years. Right now, I focus on children’s ministry, sharing the Gospel through creative ways like puppetry, animation, and camps. Through this, we encourage and equip the churches to re-focus on their children's ministry. I’m building a team of monthly supporters—friends and churches who feel led to partner with me in prayer and finances so I can continue this mission full-time. Would you prayerfully consider joining my support team or giving a one-time gift? Thank you and God bless you! Faleminderit, Roza Donate
