Missionary Emma Ingraham DONATE Hi friends! My name is Emma Ingraham and I am on staff at the School of Biblical Studies with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) Kona! The school is dedicated to the full-time study of the bible over the course of an academic year. The heart behind this 9 month programme is to disciple students to grow in their understanding of the bible through intense study, in order to see the larger story and message of the Gospel, and to enjoy a greater love for God. This intensive bible school takes the students through the scriptures 5 times over the course of the 9 months and teaches them how to study through the indicative bible study method. This method highlights the importance of self-study, historical background information, and context. I began my journey in YWAM with my DTS (Discipleship Training School) in Kona, Hawaii in the Autumn of 2020. This 6 month course changed my life. I was impacted by the love of Jesus for me and others, and His heart to save the lost. This 6 month season was a time the Lord used to work in my heart and give me a better and fuller revelation of who Jesus is and why I need Him in my life. Following my DTS, my soul was hungry to know the bible and understand more of God for myself. So, I did the SBS (School of Biblical Studies) in September of 2021 and I graduated from the course in late June of 2022. This was the most important season of my life as I studied the word of God, grew to understand more of His character, and worked through difficult topics and passages. After finishing this school, my passion for the bible has only increased. I am so excited to go back to Kona, for my third year - but returning as staff for the School of Biblical Studies. As a staff member, I will be walking with next years' students as they study the bible. I will be a small group leader, in charge of a few women- doing one-on-ones and weekly check-ins to see how they're doing and pray for them. I will also be given the opportunity to teach. Over the 9 months I will be teaching select bible books to the students- covering historical background, structure, literature, and themes. I will be continuing with my study alongside the group of students, so that I can be equipped to teach. I would love for you to pray and consider partnering with me financially as I study and teach the bible! This new step joining staff for the school means it's time for me to start gathering prayer and financial partners as I step into a new role. I can't wait to get started on staff! Thank you!

Missionary Natalie Schooley DONATE My name is Natalie Schooley, I am currently 20 years old. When I was a kid I had a very close relationship with my Great Grandpa Nelson who was a God-loving man. At the age of 5, I had a God-given dream for my life to help the homeless and children in need around the world. When my Great Grandpa was on his deathbed he made my dad promise to find a home church. My Great Grandpa died when I was 9 years old and by the time I was 10 years old, I had a home church and dedicated my life to the Lord. That same year I got baptized with my entire family on the same day. For years I have been thoroughly involved in the church serving in the children's ministry as well as the media team helping to reach as many people as possible. For the past 2 years of my life, I had a calling to work with children with special needs and got a job as a Registered Behavior Technician, and have been doing in-home therapy as well as in-clinic therapy for children with Autism. In the past few months, I got a Job with a School district working at a preschool specifically for children with special needs of all sorts. At the same time my professional life is shifting my spiritual life is shifting as well. God has brought people into my life that have reopened my eyes to the calling that God has for my life. I was called by God specifically to Youth With A Mission Discipleship Training School in Wylie, TX because of the Children at Risk Ministry that they run. In this program, I will be developing my relationship with God as well as serving and ministering to Children at Risk in developing countries such as East Africa, the Middle East, or South-East Asia. Over the next 6 months, my goal is to be Holy Spirit-led into a prosperous, undying, and burning love, passion, and desire to know God in my life and make God known around the world. To do this I have a goal of raising $10,000+ dollars to support myself throughout this God-filled journey. In the ministry, my personal goal is to plant God's seed of the Gospel into every person I come into contact with. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me financially and through prayer to see God's love change generations and save people across the nations?! Natalie Donate

Missionary Sarah Newhard DONATE Hi friends! I'm Sarah Newhard, a full time missionary with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in Kona, Hawaii. I'm a part of a community called Fire & Fragrance, which is focused on training and sending Gen-Z to the nations to share the Gospel. We want to develop young leaders that carry fire in their hearts for Jesus that becomes the fragrance of Christ to the lost. We long to know God and make Him known throughout the whole world. We believe Jesus is the desire of the nations and only He can bring light and restoration to the darkest places. A little over 2 years ago, I had an encounter with Jesus that entirely changed my life. In a moment He set me free from years of anxiety and depression, showing me a fullness of life and joy I had never known before. He began to stir my heart for more of Him, so in January of 2023 I did my DTS (Discipleship Training School) in Kona, and that's where Jesus truly set my heart on fire for missions. I had the opportunity to spend 3 months on outreach in Colombia, where I saw firsthand the power of the Gospel to bring freedom and healing to the lost and broken. During those 6 months, I truly came to know that Jesus is worthy of everything and there's no sweeter place to be than in the center of His will for my life. During my DTS, I felt the Lord calling me to come back and work on staff with YWAM, helping to disciple and equip other young people in their callings. So, last fall I went back to Hawaii and spent 3 months in leadership training, 3 months discipling students, and 3 months leading an outreach team to Papua New Guinea. During my time in PNG I learned and grew so much in dependency on the Lord. I got to see the Lord move not only in the people of PNG, but also in my students as they stepped out in faith and boldness, preaching the Gospel in villages, markets, schools, and hospitals. It was truly the most beautiful season of growth and falling even more deeply in love with Jesus. This fall I’m very excited to be heading back to YWAM to staff another year! From September-December I’ll be in South Africa doing leadership training at the YWAM base in Potchefstroom. After that I hope to head back to Kona for 3 months, where I’ll lead the Fire and Fragrance School again, and after that I’ll lead another 3 month outreach to a different nation. I am so expectant for what the Lord wants to do this year in the nations and am so honored to be a part of the story He’s writing. I've personally seen the power of the Gospel radically transform my life and set me free, and I believe God wants to do the same for all of His children. With all of that being said, I would be so deeply honored if you would prayerfully consider partnering with me as I continue in full time ministry this year. It’s only with your prayers and support that I’m able to reach the nations with the love of Jesus! He gave us everything! The least we can do is give Him everything in return! He's truly worthy of it all! May He receive the full reward of His suffering!!! Much love, Sarah Donate

MISSIONARY Monique Pollins DONATE Monique Pollins is a full time missionary with Circuit Riders! Monique grew up in a small town in Georgia, went to college at her state University, and had plans to graduate and pursue a career in social services. However, shortly after graduating God made it clear to her that He had a different path for her life, one that would involve complete surrender and a life of full time service to Him. Despite uncertainty, she said yes to the call of God, and has since been active in full time missions for the past 4 years! Since its inception, Circuit Riders has seen tens of thousands of young people give their lives to Jesus. This past year alone the ministry saw over 20,000 total salvations from local, international, and other outreaches. This includes outreaches at Universities, High Schools, citywide gatherings and youth rallies, as well as other outreaches and service projects from across the globe. This year, Monique is working full time with Circuit Rider teams in East Africa to plan local and citywide outreaches across Kenya, Malawi, and other East African nations. God has been moving in an unprecedented way in East Africa, with many young people over multiple nations desiring to grow and be trained in living a Kingdom lifestyle and teaching others how to do the same. Monique sees the need, that there are too many young people who have never heard that Jesus loves them, this is something she aims to change. Because of this Monique is building a team of Kingdom minded investors who would give $4000 a month to fully fund this work and allow her to fully serve what God is doing at home and in the nations. Would you prayerfully consider joining this team of investors through becoming a monthly donor to this work, or by giving a one time gift?” Donate

Missionary Katie McLellen DONATE Hello friends and family! As many of you know, I will be attending YWAM Kona this fall, starting October 1st! YWAM stands for “Youth With A Mission,” and it is an organization where young adults become better equipped to share the love of Christ with people throughout the nations! I will be doing the Endeavor DTS (Discipleship Training School) for 6 months, where I will be in Kona, Hawaii for three months, and in the nations for another 3 months! During my time in Hawaii, I will be alongside other young adults where we will go through a training process to become equipped with deeper evangelism skills, and where we will deepen our knowledge and relationship with Jesus! After this phase, we will be sent into the nations for the next three months to share the love of Jesus with those who may not know Him, and those who may not have experienced the depth of His love before. I am so excited to be a part of this ministry and experience, and I am so eager to dive deeper into my relationship with Jesus! As I’m getting closer to leaving, I’m asking for your support and prayers over me. Although this will be one of the most life changing and amazing experiences of my life, it’s also going to be difficult in some ways. I’m asking for prayers over my heart, that the Lord will soften me and prepare my heart and mind over these 6 months, and over the lives of the people I will be reaching throughout my time away. And that my team and I will be kept safe and protected from any harm that may come. Lastly, I am also fundraising in order to go on this trip. Unfortunately, travel and housing are not cheap! If you feel led to give, any amount is appreciated! My goal is to have $ 9,000 dollars raised by the time I leave for outreach in December! There are many ways to give, whether it be a one time donation, or recurring. You can also give by check with the information below. I am so thankful for this opportunity and can’t wait to see how the Lord impacts me and the lives of those around me! Katie Donate

Missionary Andre & Jamie Tinnon DONATE Hi! Our names are Andre and Jamie Tinnon and we are missionaries with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) EveryHeart in Grand Rapids, MI! We met in Kona, Hawaii through a Discipleship Training School where we did an evangelistic outreach to Lebanon. We were able to share the Gospel, pray and worship with muslim individuals and families. We saw freedom, healing and salvation breakout in the Middle East! We got married a little over a year after the end of that outreach, and now we live on mission as a marriage-team to share the hope, truth and love of Jesus. Jamie and myself have both been individually burdened to see our generation transformed by God’s presence and believe we can be a part of what God is doing in our nation and the world. We are currently on staff with YWAM EveryHeart pioneering a Discipleship Training School in Grand Rapids. We are discipling students from all over the United States, leading them in weekly evangelism outreach, and challenging them into deeper intimacy with God - all with the heart posture to know God, make Him known, and see our generation transformed by His presence. We will lead students over the summer through a 10-week evangelistic outreach in Norway and the U.S. where we will partner with churches, pray, evangelize, and worship in the streets of America & Norway. We are dreaming with God and praying about moving to Indonesia, a nation that is majority Muslim. Our hearts are burdened to bring the gospel to places with little or no access to the Bible, to see muslims come to know Jesus for the truth of who He is, to build up the house church in the nations, and host the presence of God through worship. The Lord has our “yes” and our main desire is to be faithful to Him. We can’t (and don’t want to) do this without YOU! If you choose to support us financially, your “yes” is to partner with God in reaching the lost and seeing lives transformed by the power of God. By your giving, you are joining us in fulfilling the Great Commission. We really believe that everyone in the body of Christ plays a role in missions. Through your support we are able to step into the fullness of what God has asked of us and see fruit because of your YES to the Lord! Thank you, Andre & Jamie Tinnon Donate

Missionaries Lowell & Shay Ballew DONATE Hello! Welcome to our missions support page! We are Lowell and Shay Ballew and we live in a suburb south of Houston, TX. We have been married for 28 years and have four grown children, one wonderful daughter-in-law, and one amazing grandson. After 30+ years in full time vocational ministry leading worship in the local church, Lowell was called out to the marketplace to do real estate for a few years. However, after a 2 year period of sabbatical, rest, sitting at the feet of Jesus, and a lot of prayer, we began to feel a clear call to ministry and missions again. We both had a call of missions on our lives from a young age and both separately and together went on several short term foreign mission trips. From 2011-2013 we served as missionaries in South America with Ripe For Harvest. With our four kiddos in tow, we committed to living in Cochabamba, Bolivia for two years, leading worship in a local church, leading the youth group, and teaching art and music at a Christian School. Now, in a new season of life, we have felt the call to GO once more! In November of 2023, we were introduced to NATIONS House of Prayer and Coreluv, Intl. in Houston. We met the founders and directors one night at a worship night and began a conversation that would change everything. After much prayer and discussion, we both felt it was very clear that the Lord was leading us to join the staff of NATIONS. So, in March 2024 we gave them our yes and dove right in. As staff missionaries with NATIONS, we help lead worship and prayer sets throughout the week at our ministry headquarters, located strategically in the third ward of Houston. We have a prayer room that is open 3 days a week, with prayer sets that the public is welcome to attend. These times are set aside to meet with Jesus, worship Him, sit at His feet, and for intercessory prayer. Lowell also plays in the band for our first Friday worship nights, which take place the first Friday of every month are widely attended by many in the community and a lot of young adults. GEN Z is so hungry for Jesus and desperate for authentic, heart felt, transformative worship and it has been incredible to watch the growth. NATIONS had its first ministry Internship Summer of ’24 and we look forward to continuing this amazing time of raising up new disciples and followers of Jesus every summer. We will also be helping pioneer NATIONS SCHOOL, which will be a 9 month long discipleship school that will include intensive Bible classes, time in the prayer room, and a 6 week long mission trip to either Haiti or Honduras, where Coreluv (our outreach arm) has established orphanages and feeding centers. We are hoping to be fully funded by this time so that we can be a part of the first NATIONS DTS! We are also involved in local outreach in the community, doing food drives once a month in partnership with the Houston Food Bank, hosting cook outs for the residents of a low income retirement community located adjacent to our building, doing school supply, uniform, and toy drives for the children that live in Cuney Homes, which is government housing project just 3 blocks from our building. We will also be involved in reaching out to students at UofH - the Lord has begun to open doors and make connections with students and staff on campus and we have been able to host a few gathering in partnership with another ministry called Hope In Houston. In March 2025, we will be helping pioneer the planting of NATIONS CHURCH as well! We are so excited about being a part of the foundational team to help create a Sunday expression of worship, prayer, solid Bible teaching, and children’s ministry. As we work towards the goal of being fully funded to allow us to be full time inner city missionaries, we are tent making to make ends meet. The closer we get to our financial goal, the more we are able to serve and work in the city. Would you consider joining our team as a monthly financial supporter and/or prayer partner? We know that where you give your money matters, so please ask and seek the Lord if you he would have you give! We are so grateful for any and all donations to our ministry and so humbled that you would consider sowing into the Kingdom by becoming a financial partner with us! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to learn even more about NATIONS and Coreluv, Intl. Our monthly financial need is $10,000. So far we are at about 15% of our goal. Thank you, again, for considering helping us reach our goal of being 100% funded!

Missionary Joanie Moniz DONATE My name is Joanie, and I have been serving as a full-time missionary in the Philippines since 2008. My journey began with short-term mission trips between 1998 and 2008, which God used to stir a deep love in my heart for the Filipino people. From the very first time I stepped foot in the Philippines, I was moved by the hunger and openness of the people toward Jesus. Each trip was filled with powerful moments during concert and healing crusades, and I knew God was calling me to something more permanent. One thing that deeply burdened me during those early trips was the lack of consistent follow-up for new believers. Many would encounter Jesus during the crusades, but there was little opportunity for discipleship and growth. I cried out to God about this, and in His perfect timing, He answered. In 2003, I joined a team led by my new pastor and Pastor Jill under Church Multiplication Coalition (CMC). This opened the door for me to become part of the very follow-up ministry I had prayed for, where I could help guide new believers in their walk with Christ. The vision of CMC quickly became my own: to see a church planted in every barangay (village) across the Philippines. I am currently stationed on the island of Cebu, where I also operate three weekly feeding programs. These programs serve over 100 children each week—not just with food for their bodies, but with the Bread of Life for their souls. It is one of my greatest joys to pour into the next generation and see them encounter Jesus in a real and lasting way. Alongside my local ministry, I continue to travel with Pastor Jill and the CMC team to conduct 5–10 crusades annually throughout Luzon. I serve in evangelism, prayer ministry, school and home outreach, and follow-up—ensuring that every soul reached has the opportunity to grow. Ministry is my full-time calling, and I pour myself into it wholeheartedly, even using my spare time to reach out and serve wherever I can. As a faith-based missionary, I rely entirely on the Lord’s provision through the generosity and prayers of others. I invite you to partner with me—through prayer, encouragement, and financial support—as we continue to bring the Gospel to the unreached, feed the hungry, and plant churches in every village. Together, we can fulfill the Great Commission and see lives transformed for eternity. Joanie Donate

MISSIONARY T Family DONATE Our purpose in SE Asia is to see a growing, vibrant body of Christ-followers where the name of Jesus was once not known. To do this, we share the love of Christ in a Biblical 3-fold approach: Meet, Teach, Repeat… We meet non-believers where they are by helping with felt needs and building genuine relationships with them. We teach them about Jesus, using daily examples and reading from His Word, pointing to Him in all situations. We guide and encourage them to repeat this process with others, so that His love and truth are multiplied. The work we do for Him is funded by your financial partnership.

Missionary Isabella Malendres DONATE Aloha, My name is Isabella Ka’iulani and I am a full-time missionary in the Himalayas. I’m originally from Hawai’i, which is where I first caught God's vision for missions. In 2022 God showed me the love that He has for the nations, it was something I’d never experienced before. I had no desire to leave my home, but I saw God’s heart for the Himalayas. I knew that I needed to move. God showed me the injustice that it is that so many people around the world will never have the opportunity to hear the gospel or read the Bible in their mother tongue, simply because believers aren't taking action. I serve in a ministry called Respect the Corners (RTC) which is a ministry founded on 4 core values, or “corners”: Faith, Family, Integrity, and Extravagant Love. Fitness is our tool. Fitness lets us train and disciple locals, while also training and sending missionaries to go to hard to reach villages in the mountains. We go to these villages to evangelize, distribute bibles, and collect data on new languages for bible translation. I believe there are two important positions to play in missions: the ones who are sent and the ones who send. That means that people like me need people like you to support us through prayer and finances in order to do what God has asked. If you partner with me you will be stepping into the story that God has been writing, and I want to invite you into being a part of this story the same way he invited me: Will you prayerfully consider taking action to see every tribe, tongue, and nation give God the glory He deserves?
