MISSIONARY Sean Choi DONATE Hello! I’m Sean Choi, a 19-year-old from High Point, North Carolina. After graduating high school and college being put on hold due to COVID, I felt God calling me to something wild! So, this past winter (2020/21) I embarked on one of the most impactful adventures of my life: I attended the Youth With a Mission (YWAM) Discipleship Training School (DTS) at the Kona, Hawaii campus. Following our training there, we went to Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio for ministry outreach. The entire 6 months was an incredible experience, and I grew so much in my relationship with God. I learned greater intimacy with Him through worship, prayer, and time in the Word, and also learned how to share the love of Jesus through action in many different settings. I felt the Lord invite me to staff and that He had something much greater in store for me. So I decided to return for the YWAM Leadership Track that began on June 18. It was a 3-month school that prepared me to lead groups of students attending DTS for the first time. Once I’m on staff I will be with students and other leaders 24/7, 6 months at a time: 3 months on the YWAM Kona campus and then 3 months for outreach abroad – anywhere in the world. I can’t wait to get started! I also plan to come back after my first outreach in the spring of 2022 to do a DBS at YWAM Kona that will teach me to encounter God and see his story unfold as I study the Bible under dynamic teachers and within a passionate community. I will be observing the chronology of biblical events, better understand each book in its historical context, understand the harmony between the books, know why it was written, and grasp the main ideas. Being a part of YWAM truly feels like a family, full of joy, wholeheartedly surrendered to Jesus and wildly in love with his presence! God’s love inspires and propels us to take the gospel into all the world, from remote mountain villages to university campuses. Our passion is the presence of Jesus and He is the center of everything we do. Our goal is revival that leads to reformation. Our mission is to launch fiery eyed revivalists into the nations–close knit groups of friends–who are dedicated to falling more in love with Jesus and seeing the lost encounter his love. I am making a 2-year commitment to full time ministry, and my financial need will be roughly $2000/month. This will provide room and board, education and training, day-to-day living expenses, ministry travel costs, outreach costs, and I will also be tithing from the financial provision I receive. Thank you for considering a one-time or recurring gift to make this possible. I long to know God and to make Him known. The world is waiting for an encounter with His love. Please be praying for continued provision, and that Jesus would be glorified in everything I do. Donate

Missionary Lauryn Guzman DONATE Hello everyone, If you do not know me, my name is Lauryn Guzman, and I want to share a little bit of my testimony and how Jesus has completely transformed my life. After moving to Chicago last fall for what I thought was my dream job and life, I quickly realized that even when everything looks perfect on the outside, your heart can feel completely empty. Several months later, I made the decision to come home, and soon after, found out I needed to have major spinal surgery. This season pushed me to my breaking point, physically, mentally, and spiritually. But it was in the middle of that pain and brokenness that I met God in a way I never had before and discovered that His love and presence are SO REAL. Through all of it, God made something so clear: my life isn’t about chasing my own desires anymore, but about walking in His purpose. He’s called me to step out and share His love with the world. My heart burns to walk with people who feel broken, empty, or are searching for peace because I know what that feels like, and I know the freedom only Jesus can bring. This calling led me to Circuit Riders, a Discipleship Training School in Huntington Beach, California. The program is called The Circuit Rider Experience and is an initiative born out of Youth With A Mission (YWAM), focused on reaching the next generation, a generation that is lost, broken, and in desperate need of Jesus. After three months of training in Huntington Beach, California, I will be sent out to nations around the world to share the gospel and bring hope to people who may have never encountered Him before. I would love for you to come alongside me on this journey. Your prayers, encouragement, and financial support are what make it possible for me to step fully into this calling. Every gift goes directly into equipping me to reach people who need hope, healing, and freedom, and allows me to focus completely on the work God has placed on my heart. Even the smallest contribution can make a huge impact. I share this journey with humility and gratitude, knowing I could not have come this far without the support of family, friends, and my community. Your prayers, words of encouragement, and donations will empower me to step into God’s calling fully and reach the nations with His hope. I’m so blessed to have you as part of this journey, and I am excited to see what God will do through our partnership in this mission. Love, Lauryn Donate

Missionary Prem & Manisha Pariyar Darji DONATE Hi friends! My name is Prem, and I am currently serving full-time with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Nepal. I completed my Discipleship Training School (DTS) in 2019. During that season, God ignited a deep passion in my heart to serve Him as a missionary. God also spoke to me three times through Paloma about missions, confirming His calling for my life. Since December 13, 2021, I have been faithfully serving with YWAM Nepal. Even without any fixed financial supporters, God has always provided and allowed me to continue in full-time ministry. I am married, and my wife’s name is Manisha. We are excitedly waiting for our first baby, who is due on June 19, 2026. As we enter this new season, we are trusting God more deeply for provision. God has placed a vision in my heart to challenge and empower youth, encourage the church, and preach about the heart of missions. He is also leading us to move to the eastern part of Nepal, where many people worship nature and are far from the true knowledge of God. Our desire is to bring the hope and love of Jesus to these communities. I would love to ask you to partner with me in prayer and financial support so that we can continue this mission faithfully. My Monthly Financial Needs: • Baby care: $100 • Kitchen / food: $80 • Life insurance: $100 • Ministry travel: $50 • Mobile recharge: $40 Total Monthly Need: $370 Your support—whether monthly or one-time—makes a real impact. Please pray about an amount and consider partnering with us in this mission. “In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.” – 1 Corinthians 9:14 Each prayer and every gift is used for God’s Kingdom. Through your support, you are standing with us as we go and serve. Thank you so much. Your giving will not go unnoticed by our Father in Heaven. Prem & Manisha Donate

Missionary Anna Kirsch DONATE Hi! If you don't know me, I'm Anna Kirsch and I just graduated from Indiana State University! While praying about where I'd end up after graduation, I was shocked and excited to hear God calling me to missions, specifically the Circuit Riders program. So, I am preparing to spend my September to March in a full-time missions program! Part of that preparation is saving and fundraising for program expenses and my cost of living. In total, I am hoping to raise $10,000. Please take some time to read below about this opportunity and pray about giving. I will be posting weekly on my Facebook and Instagram to share more, as well! Whether you can give or not, I ask that you pray whenever you think of me! Right now, I'd appreciate prayers for the Lord's provision of everything I'll need for this opportunity. Yes, financial, but even more I'm praying for sensitivity to His Spirit and for the strength to continue to draw closer to Him. Thank you so much! About Circuit Riders Circuit Riders is a YWAM mission and training community that launches movements to reach the next generation. Their mission is to "Save the Lost. Revive the Saved. Train them All." From September to December, I will stay in Huntington Beach, CA with about 200 other young people, going through a discipleship training school and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Orange County. From January to March, I will travel to college campuses with about ten others, holding services to reach the lost and outreach events to equip the saved students on that campus to continue sharing the Gospel. Here's a link to the CR website, if you'd like to learn more: https://circuitriders.com/ Why Circuit Riders I've known about Circuit Riders since my freshman year of college, when I attended one of their Carry the Love nights on my campus. I enjoyed the service but never thought too much about it after. In February 2025, I heard the Lord call me away from the plan I thought He'd given me—to live in Terre Haute, IN and pursue work in nonprofit marketing. Scared but surprisingly excited, I began praying about where and what He might have in mind for me. Funny enough, I remember having a thought about Circuit Riders during this time, but dismissed it quickly. I didn't think it was from the Lord—it seemed crazy! Later that month, Circuit Riders was on ISU's campus for two nights, and I went to both services with some friends. Immediately after the first night, my friend Ciara looked at me and asked, "Are you called to missions?" That was so out of left field, and the only word that can describe what I felt is flabbergasted! But it also felt like something was starting to click. I told her I'd pray about it and did. The next night, we gathered into groups to pray and specifically prayed for words from the Lord for each other. I was randomly sorted into a group with Ciara, a Circuit Rider missionary that I'd wanted to speak to more, and a girl who would quickly become a dear friend of mine. While praying over me, the missionary in our group told me she had heard a stampede of horses, but she didn't know what that meant. I had no clue either. Later that night, as I was getting ready for bed, I got a text from Ciara with a picture of a shirt she'd bought from Circuit Riders and the caption "Horses :)". The shirt said this: "The original Circuit Riders circa 1764 were a group of nameless and faceless young people who crisscrossed the nation on horseback, making Jesus known for the sake of their generation." My jaw hit the floor. Immediately, I knew I was called to Circuit Riders. However, I was still a tad nervous and didn't want to get ahead of the Lord. I took a while to pray and wait, but God just kept bringing a deeper peace that this was His will. I am so excited and still shocked that this is what He has next for me. In so many ways, I never could have guessed this, and yet it feels like through this He's met a desire of my heart that I've had for so long, but never recognized. He's pretty stinking good!

Missionary Kayden Loewen DONATE Hi Everyone! My name is Kayden Loewen and I have been in Missions training for the past 2 years. I initially joined YWAM in summer 2023 after I had an encounter with the Lord that changed my life, or at least opened my eyes to the power and character of who Jesus is. I had to know more! Almost directly after my DTS (Discipleship Training School) where I experienced powerful encounters with the Lord, I knew that the Lord was guiding me to go deeper in His word; The Bible. I spent the entirety of 2024 Studying through each book in the Bible 1 by 1. The impact in my life is inexplainable to describe in a bio, but I would love to connect more with you! I would love to invite you to partner with me financially to continue discovering more about the Lord as well as opening doors for me to make Him known to others, He changed my life and I know He will change others as well! I need $1200 per month to pay for necessities like rent, food, and ministry needs! Please pray and ask the Lord if the ministry the Lord is calling me into is something you feel called to partner with! God Bless, Kayden Donate

Missionary Juan Pablo Gomez castaño DONATE My name is Juan, I'm from Colombia but right now I'm in Lausanne, Switzerland as part of YWAM. Here, I'm part of the communication team. Meanwhile I am finishing my Bible Core course, I'm also part of the refugee ministry with YWAM here in Lausanne. Here in YWAM, our vision is to fulfill the Great Commission and to cover the entire world with waves of youth missionaries, going to the edge of the earth to make Jesus known. You may be asking why Juan is in Switzerland. I'm here as a wave of Latin Missionaries going to bring the Latin fire to the nations. This has been an amazing trip with God, but also challenging, in faith, strength, and finances. As a Full-time missionary here, I'm currently building a team of investors who will give CHF 1.400 monthly so that I will be able to continue working full time for the Kingdom in this beautiful country. Would you prayerfully consider joining this team of monthly investors, or contributing a one-time gift? Juan Donate

Missionary Jesse Gerth DONATE Hi friends! My name is Jesse Gerth and I serve as a full-time missionary with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in Kona, Hawaii. I staff a collaborative non-profit missions school and organization called Fire and Fragrance empowered by Youth With A Mission. Our focus is worship, intercession, raising up believers, reaching the unreached, and training to be missionaries. We want to inspire a generation to look like Jesus, and most importantly, to love like Jesus! I attended their DTS (Discipleship Training School) in September 2023 where God marked me for The Great Commission and filled me with a burning passion to see unreached people come to know the one true living God, Jesus. I just returned from leading a 3 month mission trip to the wonderful country of TURKEY. Every day we would go to the streets, mosques, and even schools evangelizing and telling everybody the Gospel. We brought back many beautiful testimonies from Turkey; my favorite was a man we met from Turkmenistan (a very dangerous closed nation) who gave his life to Jesus and got baptized in the Black Sea! This was absolutely CRAZY to witness. God is MOVING in the nations and the harvest is ripe! This summer, I will be heading back to Hawaii to staff the upcoming DTS, and lead another mission to an unknown location somewhere in the world; possibly back to the Middle East or maybe somewhere new! As I am commissioned into this next season of my life, I ask that you would prayerfully consider partnering with me financially. I believe that the Lord has called me to be a messenger of the Gospel proclaiming the Good News to the unreached people of the world, and as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:14: “those who proclaim the Gospel are to get their living from the Gospel.” As Jesus commissioned His disciples out two by two, insisting that they do not bring normal necessities such as their bag and staff, He promises provision on the basis of faith, for “the worker is worthy of his support.” - Matthew 10:9-10 I believe with full faith that the Lord will provide through the generosity of His children. As I’m getting ready to follow Jesus into full time missions, I’m asking for your financial support, “Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.“ (Philippians 4:17) Your support to me is an investment on your behalf, and as you give, there will be fruit and blessings delivered in your lives as well. Thank you everyone in advance for your radical generosity in prayer and financial support. Whether it’s one time, or a monthly partnership, all donations are greatly appreciated! May Christ be with you, Jesse Gerth Donate
