MISSIONARY Sophia Maddox DONATE Hi, I’m Sophia! I am a missionary with the Circuit Riders in Kona, HI. Our ministry’s vision is to save the lost, revive the saved, and train them all to live a lifestyle of missions. This summer, the Circuit Riders will host a ten-day high school summer camp in three cities across America where over 300 students will come to learn how to infuse their relationships with Jesus into every aspect of their lives, from sports to music to friends at school. At this camp, called Infusion, I will be leading a small group of girls and mentoring them through their time of encounter, growth, and freedom. Join me in seeing students’ hearts get ignited for Jesus just as His heart burns for them! If you would like to know more, feel free to contact me at +1(949) 887-1262 or smaddoxmusic@gmail.com.

Missionary Jagger Blough DONATE Hey! I’m Jagger! In late November 2022, my life was radically transformed when I encountered the presence of the Lord while visiting my friend’s church. That moment marked a complete 180—shifting me from the life I once lived to fully pursuing God with all my heart. Throughout 2023, I felt a deep calling to live with greater intentionality and righteousness, dedicating my time, resources, and energy to following Him wholeheartedly. While at The Send in Reading, PA, I heard the Lord speak clearly: sell the business I was apart of, enroll in a Discipleship Training School (DTS) at YWAM Lancaster, and go deeper in knowing the Father’s heart. I took that leap of faith—and my life has never been the same. DTS completely reshaped my understanding of what it means to have a relationship with God. I learned how to hear His voice, trust Him in every season, give Him praise in all circumstances, and most importantly, I found my true identity as a son of God. For the first time in my life, I know who I am. This revelation has ignited a deep passion in me—I want others to experience the same freedom, love, and purpose that I have found in Christ. I feel an urgent call to my generation: to raise up young men to live righteously, to honor and glorify the Lord, and to be mobilized into the nations to serve wherever He calls. A year later, that calling led me to enroll in a Bible School at YWAM Lancaster, where I dove into Scripture and gained a greater understanding of God’s love and His desire for a pure, intimate relationship with His children. Through this, the Lord stirred my heart even more—to live a life completely surrendered to Him. Now, I am stepping into the next chapter of this journey: joining YWAM Lancaster as a full-time staff member, partnering with God in the Great Commission. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me as I pursue God’s will and help fulfill the Great Commission? If you’d like to know more, feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you for considering joining my support team! God Bless! - Jagger Donate

Missionary Matt Wallace DONATE Hello! I’m Matt! And I’m about to start my 6 month school with Circuit Riders in their Fall DTS training to become a full time missionary!! Ever since I was 8 I felt a calling to missions over my life. I’ve always liked speaking (thanks ADHD) but my love truly comes from sharing the Gospel and with this came a desire to go and share the good news to anyone who would listen, like to high schools and colleges. But one place has always been a calling to me, going back to my home country of Guatemala and meeting my birth mom and sharing the Gospel to her one day! My focus with Circuit Riders is in evangelism and discipleship, learning to present the Gospel but also teach it to others! Throughout this training school, I will learn how to better hear the voice of God and to understand what it looks like to have a lifestyle of evangelism. I will experience growth in my personal leadership, I will also develop a life of prayer and intercession. It may seem like I can do these things anywhere, but the Lord has been leading me to pursue this path, and having a season dedicated to learning and growing in this missional calling will be beneficial for me and the people I will encounter. Through this program it will be a step in answering my calling, which is to one day end up in Guatemala leading high school and young adults to seek Jesus, while also strengthening parents who are giving their children up for adoption and adopted kids learning to love and forgive their families for the choice of giving them up for adoption, through Jesus and his love and adoption of us as his children. Before Jesus ascends into heaven, his last command to his disciples is to go into all the nations proclaiming the Gospel and make disciples (Matt. 28:19-20). This is not called the Great Suggestion, but it is called the Great Commission, which is a command. I believe that this is what God has called me to do with my life. I would love to ask you to partner with God and myself through financial support and through prayer! In order to make this possible I will need a total of $6,000. This amount will cover the costs while I am attending the school. These costs include: • Food • Flights • Gas • Any other discretionary costs If you would like to become a monthly supporter or give a one-time gift, pray about an amount to give and you can give through this link! "In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel." (1 Corinthians 9:14) It is through your giving and your prayers that I am empowered to go! I pray that the Lord will bless you as you give towards this! If you would like to email me about any inquiries, you can email me at Wmatt579@gmail.com Matt 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

Missionary Beth Aguilera DONATE BRIEF BACKSTORY: Hello everyone!!!! Long story short, for those of you that don't know about what God has been doing in my life in the past 8 months, I was in denial that it was my responsibility to share the Gospel with others but the Lord prepared a rude awakening that humbled me and allowed me to see His heart for the lost. Since then the Lord has been sending people into my life that have encouraged me on this journey of learning to burn for the desire to share the Gospel with others. Not only that, but my friend Leah and I have successfully begun worship and evangelism pop ups in public spaces like malls. Anyways, for 5 months I wrestled with the decision to go to YWAM because it meant having to let go of a lot. Luckily the Lord paved a way for this to happen and I surrendered my doubt to trust the Lord fully in this process of learning to lean entirely on Him and have faith that others see my heart behind joining DTS. WHERE I WILL BE: YWAM stands for Youth With A Mission, they are a worldwide missions organization that helps equip and send out people to all parts of the world to make Jesus known. DTS stands for Discipleship Training School which is what I will temporarily move away to be a part of for 6 months. For the first 3 months, I will be partaking in classes that will allow me to be discipled and get to know God better through the examination of His word. The last 3 months will be spent on a mission, putting into practice my faith and teaching/sharing Jesus with others somewhere overseas. WHY I NEED YOUR HELP: I need your help because this is not something I can do alone. I grappled with the fact that I would have to ask people for help because I struggle with hyper independence because it feels like I am a burden to people if I show I need help (personal issues lol). Praise the Lord though because He has given me peace over this by reminding me that I have been living a life that sets a precedent that completely backs the reason for joining DTS. My heart is out for all to see and to know that this is exactly where I want to be, at the feet of Jesus learning more about Him and passing everything I will know on to people I eventually hope to disciple. I pray that you all can see that this is something that won't just edify me, my heart is that I would learn so that I can teach and disciple others. If you have seen my heart in this or would like to know more about my full testimony please reach out. Otherwise, I would insanely appreciate your blessing on this journey if the Lord has already placed something on your heart. Donations do not have a minimum. If all you have is $1 I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thank you for reading this far. I love you all so very much <3 Beth Donate

Missionary Laura Taveras DONATE ¡Hola! I’m Laura, born and raised in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Going through an eating disorder in my early teenage years was the catalyst for my love of nutrition and wellness. After graduating high school, I moved to Vancouver, Canada, to study Holistic Nutrition. Towards the end of my time there, I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior. He used that season of my life to show me, tangibly, that He is the One who truly satisfies. Since then, I’ve prayed that God would allow me to use my skills and passion to help girls in the area of wellness for His glory, as well as share the hope of the Gospel so they can know that their identity and worth are found in Him alone. After graduating from nutrition school, I returned to my homeland. While working at a small clinic, I pursued a certification in Business and started a business with my family. After four years, the Lord called me into full-time ministry. God has placed me in FIGHT Ministries in this season, where we provide hope and healing to underage females victimized by human trafficking. As the Health Coordinator and Social Worker for the girls at our refuge, my goal is to understand their individual nutrition and physical needs alongside our health collaborators, create a sustainable wellness program for their physical healing, support our kitchen staff in the development of a nutrient-dense menu, and gather data for our girls’ social wellbeing and safety. This year, I’m also pursuing a certification in Biblical Counseling, which will enable me to walk alongside our girls, not only in transforming their health but also in experiencing genuine life transformation in God through His Word. It would be an honor for you to join me on this journey, whether through prayer or financial support! Laura Donate

Missionary Zach Joseph DONATE Meet Zach Joseph Hi, I’m Zach—a missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), a follower of Jesus, and someone who believes the Gospel is worth giving everything for. After completing my Discipleship Training School in Kansas City and serving in the Philippines, God placed a burden on my heart for the people of Japan. In 2026, I will be moving to Yokohama to begin full-time missions work—partnering with local ministry, learning the culture, and preparing to pioneer a new YWAM base in Kamakura, a historic city with deep spiritual roots and great need for the Gospel. ⸻ My Mission in Japan My ministry is rooted in the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:19: “Go and make disciples of all nations.” My first season in Japan will be focused on serving in Yokohama—learning the language, building relationships, and joining in what God is already doing. From there, I will move forward with a small team to establish a base in Kamakura where worship, prayer, discipleship, and outreach can take root and grow. There’s a hunger in Japan—often quiet, but very real. Isaiah 9:2 says, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.” That’s the light I want to carry: the hope of Jesus, shared through presence, truth, and love. ⸻ Why I Need You I can’t do this alone. As Paul says in Philippians 1:5, I thank God for those who “partner in the Gospel from the first day until now.” I’m building a team of prayer warriors and financial supporters who will stand with me in this calling. Your prayers are powerful. Your giving provides for housing, language study, travel, outreach, and everyday needs. As Romans 10:15 says, “How can they preach unless they are sent?” ⸻ Let’s Do This Together This mission isn’t just mine—it’s something we can do together. If you believe Jesus is worthy in Japan, I invite you to partner with me. Together, we can bring light into places that have long been spiritually silent. We can believe for transformation in Kamakura and Yokohama and beyond. Whether you give, pray, or share this vision—thank you. You’re part of what God is building in Japan. Zach Donate

Missionary Kyle Porterfield DONATE My name is Kyle Porterfield. My greatest desire in life is to love God and to love others. I desire to create disciples of Jesus in relational environments, to care for the weak and broken-hearted, to be an example of Christ and to call others and myself to the standard God desires for us. Recently I’ve been sensing the Lord putting missions, ministry, and youth on my heart. I’m unsure of how all of these will come together, but I trust God to lead me step by step. After much prayer I feel the first step is attending the School of Biblical Studies with YWAM Kona. YWAM’s School of Biblical Studies is a nine month long inductive Bible study course where I will gain an in-context understanding of the Scriptures from cover to cover. I recently visited the campus and joined in on a lecture. They were going through the book of Hebrews, dissecting it, scrupulously investigating it to find out the who, what, when, where, and why of the book. They did extensive historical background to build a broader context, asking the question of what the letter would have meant to the original readers and, through that lens, how the Word applies to us today. I believe that having an in-depth, inductive understanding of Scripture will equip me with a solid Biblical worldview and help me to navigate different situations and seasons of life with a Biblical approach. I will learn to look at Scripture with a much deeper understanding and be able to teach both topically and inductively in Bible study settings, youth groups, or wherever else the Lord may allow me to teach. YWAM’s mission statement is “To know God and to make Him known.” I pray that through this school, I can do exactly that, knowing God through His Word and making Him known by sharing His Word. Currently I am asking God for partners to pray for me and give so that I can take this next step and attend this training. I will need $1600 per month to cover expenses and a bit more in order to participate in the Titus Outreach at the end of the year. If you’re interested in partnering in ministry with me, feel free to contact me via phone, text or email. My phone number is (208) 659-2266 and my email is kylejporterfield67@gmail.com . I would love to have you join my team. Kyle Donate
