Missionary Luke VanKooten DONATE Hello friends and family! Thank you for being interested in my page! My name is Luke VanKooten, I’m a 20-year-old missionary for an organization called YWAM. I am from a town in the US called Lynden WA, and I have decided to do missions in Australia! About a month into my time on my Discipleship Training School, I realized I wanted to be part of missions longer than the 6 months I was planning to do. After prayer and fasting I felt God was pulling me back to Airlie Beach! For the next 2 years I am committing my time to staff at a small base in the Whitsundays. Airlie Beach is a backpacking bucket list for many young people seeking fulfillment through drinking and partying. I will get the chance to meet all kinds of people traveling through the area and do my best to reflect Gods light to those I interact with! Staffing has 2 parts to it: One, I will help lead and mentor the students on the DTS. Helping them grow in their faith and being someone who they can go to for help and any question they might be facing while they are rapidly growing in their relationship with God. I will also be leading the Backpacking “stream” on the DTS, taking some of the students on hikes and exploring the beautiful nature God has given the Whitsundays. Secondly, I will be studying in a class called Ministry Development School or MDS. This class focuses on different subjects including how to better lead in different ministries, growing in my spiritual walk with God, prayer and worship and many more subjects! I already have grown so much in the past year and I cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store for me in this next school! Through this time, I will be needing your help! I ask that you consider being part of Gods calling in my life. First, is supporting me through prayer. I will be in a leadership role; I ask that you pray for me to stay humble and to be focused on the path the Lord has set out for me. Also praying for Gods protecting and provision in my life. Here’s some prayer points that could help: • God revealing Himself to the people in Airlie Beach • For the student to grow in their faith and become radical Christ followers • Protection for me and the people at my base while we evangelize to our community and the nations during outreach • God providing for me (energy, discipline and finances) You can be an answer to my prayers! By helping me financially, I have worked up the finances for tuition, rent, health insurance and a visa but I am still short on a few things. I come from a hard-working family and I have always believed that if I want something, I need to go and get it. Not getting paid by YWAM makes it hard for me to have time and the resources to provide for myself. With that said, you can trust me, your money won’t be lost in the abyss! It will be used diligently, how? • Giving back to God through tithing • Groceries • Meals • Outreach In total I am looking for $500 USD per month. I am honestly happy that you’ve read this far in my bio, but if you feel the need to give, I would be beyond grateful for your generosity! Thank you so much for being a part of my mission work and expanding God’s Kingdom. God Bless, Luke Donate

Missionary Mike Mann DONATE Hi. Thank you for checking out this page. After about 20 years of serving as a pastor/leader in a traditional church setting, I’ve sensed God’s leading me to a new season of ministry through house churches. Purpose: To re-engage New Testament models of the church through small home-based communities committed to service, prayer, worship, evangelism, discipleship, loving one another and living Christ. Foundation: Believing that the devotion of the early church and the world-impacting power that came through them by taking the teachings of Jesus to heart is still possible today. Focus and hope: Growing the Kingdom from the inside out. If you’ve been a part of my ministry and life previously or are connecting for the first time, I welcome your support and prayers and taking a step of faith with me into what God might do through our gifts, hearts and the power of the Holy Spirit. For more information or questions, I can be reached at mikem351@gmail.com . Blessings, Mike Donate

Missionary Levi Aitken DONATE Hello Everyone! My name is Levi Aitken and I am currently serving as a full-time missionary with Fire and Fragrance. I grew up in the mission field until I was 12. In October of 2024 I attend a Youth With A Mission Discipleship Training School. Though I had grown up in a Christian home, the Lord completely changed my life in that season and has given me a burning heart to see my generation set on fire for Him. Fire & Fragrance (F&F) is a missionary organization with bases and communities all over the world. F&F’s goal is to raise up a generation of “burning ones”, young people who carry a fire for Jesus in their hearts and live a missional lifestyle that releases the fragrance of God’s love to the lost. F&F’s missional goals are to Church plant, Bible translation, training and equipping Gen Z and building missional youth movements. I am inviting you to partner with me in prayer and through financial support. Financial support can be a long-term partnership through monthly donations or one-time gifts. To enable me to serve with F&F I am looking to raise $3,000 per month. You can sign up as a monthly partner, or give a one-time gift here, for which you will receive a tax receipt. Thank you for your partnership. Levi Aitken Donate

Missionary Destiny Briggs DONATE My name is Destiny, and I'm stepping into a new season of my life, where I continue to give my yes to Jesus and my calling to Missions. I have the opportunity to get training and discipleship in scripture for missions. I believe I am called to missions to grow in my faith and reach the unreached. Missions is about serving people, building relationships, but most importantly, spreading the gospel. My heart in Missions is to find the burning ones for Jesus and get them connected to a community where they live. It is important as a family in Christ to support each other in our calling to help finish the great commission, as we are called to do. If you feel encouraged to be a part of a team to help pray and provide financial support for me, I will be more than grateful. Missions can be expensive. On each trip I am responsible for my expenses for: • Food • Transportation • Housing • And more Thank you for being someone who believes in me and my calling. I'm thankful for you being in my life. The field is ripe with harvest and I'm ready to go! Destiny Donate

Missionary Erik Roush DONATE My name is Erik Roush, I serve as one of the core leaders of discipleship with Prayer House Ministry here in Wilmington, North Carolina. Our mission is simple but powerful — to love people like Jesus did, one person at a time, to see the body of Christ encouraged and empowered through prayer and sent out to do as Jesus did! Becoming Christlike happens by the power of the Holy Spirit and through intentional discipleship in community. I’ve seen firsthand how a single conversation, a prayer, or a moment of compassion can open someone’s heart to the love of God. That’s what drives me every day on this mission field, to step out in boldness and in faith! Jesus always shows up. At Prayer House, we are believing for genuine revival in Wilmington, revival begins in prayer and overflows into action in the community. John 13:34-35 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” We receive His love and then we go out and share it! Just as Jesus sent His disciples, to share the good news and to show His love one person at a time. Our team regularly ministers on the UNCW campus, downtown Wilmington, and Wrightsville Beach — meeting people where they are, praying for needs, and sharing the message of hope and salvation in Jesus Christ. My personal calling and ministry is not about large crowds or grand platforms — it’s about personal encounters, and smaller group settings. The gospel is the power of God to save souls. As we grow in our relationship with Christ we invite others into a deeper stewardship of their life in Christ. This has proven to have immediate impact in the person's heart and leads to generational impact in the future. To continue this work, I’m inviting others to join me — both in prayer and financial support. In order for me to give myself fully to ministry in this season, it takes consistent resources to sustain our outreach efforts and to steward my time faithfully with Prayer House. My mission is to build up the body of Christ, and that happens best when a community of believers stands together in faith for what God is doing. I believe the harvest is ripe in our city. We’re seeing hearts softened, lives changed, and hope restored through the gospel, but this is only the beginning. I’d love to invite you to partner with me as I keep reaching people one by one with the love of Jesus. Together, we can make an eternal impact in Wilmington and beyond. Erik Donate

Missionary William & Julia Johansson DONATE Hi everyone! We’re William and Julia Johansson —the Johanssons! We’re serving together with YWAM Harpenden in England, where William co-leads the Catalyst Discipleship Training School (DTS) and Julia serves on staff with the school. God transformed both of our lives through the Catalyst DTS, and through those experiences He gave us a deep passion for discipleship and missions! What started as a desire to keep serving has become a shared calling to invest in the next generation of young people and help them grow in their relationship with Jesus! Together, we have the privilege of creating an environment where students can encounter God, discover their identity and purpose, and be equipped to step boldly into the mission God has for their lives. Walking alongside them as they grow in faith and seeing God transform lives—just as He transformed ours—is one of the greatest joys of our ministry! As the Johanssons, we believe God has called us to serve together, and we're excited to see what He continues to do through the Catalyst DTS and beyond! To continue serving full-time, we are building a team of ministry partners who will stand with us through prayer and financial support. Our goal is to raise £3,000 per month , which will enable us to continue leading, discipling, and investing in the lives of young people at YWAM Harpenden! If you would prayerfully consider partnering with us—whether through monthly giving, a one-time gift, or regular prayer—we would be so grateful. Your partnership enables us to continue serving where God has called us and investing in the lives of future missionaries and leaders. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We couldn't do it without faithful people standing alongside us! God bless, William & Julia Johansson Donate

Missionary Lorena Pablo DONATE My name is Lorena Pablo, and I have the privilege of serving with Circuit Riders in the Training Department. My heart is to see young people encounter Jesus, be equipped as missionaries, and be sent into the harvest. I have the opportunity to train, disciple, and lead young missionaries as they prepare to take the Gospel to their campuses, homes, workplaces, communities, and the nations. My desire is to see a generation encounter Jesus, be transformed by His love, and become willing vessels who will carry the Gospel wherever He sends them. I grew up in the church and always had a reverence for God, but as I grew older, the Lord began taking me from simply knowing about Him to truly knowing Him. Job 42:5 became a picture of what was happening in my life: “I had heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.” The Lord had always been there, but I began to recognize His presence, His love, and His desire to speak with me personally. As my relationship with Him deepened, so did my love for Him and my desire for others to know who Jesus truly is not a misrepresented version of Him, but the Jesus revealed to us through the Bible. Since I was 13 years old, God has been placing a call to missions on my heart, and I have watched Him faithfully prepare me and fulfill that calling in ways I never could have planned myself. In January, I had the opportunity to attend the Winter School, where the Lord continued to train and build me up in my calling. I was then sent to the Philippines. One of the most motivating things I encountered there was seeing people so deeply impacted by the Gospel that they immediately became eager to make disciples and carry Jesus into their own campuses, homes, workplaces, and public spaces. I saw the peace and joy that comes from salvation in the lives of others something I have personally experienced through Jesus and it reminded me that this work is about eternity. Knowing that Jesus is coming again and that there are still so many people who have yet to truly know Him has given me an even greater urgency to lay down comfort and continue saying yes to missions. There are many moments when I ask the Lord, “Why me?” Yet He continually reminds me that He works through those who have a willing heart to serve Him. I know I am not doing this because I am strong or because I have everything figured out. I am doing it because I love Jesus from the deepest place of my heart, and my life belongs in His hands. I want my life to be completely surrendered to the Father’s will because He is worth the cost. He is worth the sacrifice. He is worth a fully laid-down life. My prayer is that through the ministry God has entrusted to me, many young people would encounter Jesus, discover their calling, and become missionaries who carry the Gospel wherever they go. In this season, I am seeking financial partners who would prayerfully consider standing with me as I continue serving in missions. Financial support helps provide for my living expenses, including rent and food, while also allowing me to prepare for future opportunities to travel and serve in the nations. But more than simply financial support, I am asking people to partner with me in prayer and in the Great Commission. Every prayer, every word of encouragement, and every financial gift allows me to continue saying yes to what God has called me to do. I believe missions is something we do together: some are called to go, some are called to send, and all of us are called to make Jesus known. My prayer is that together we would see more people encounter the Jesus of the Bible, be transformed by His love, and be sent into the harvest. He is worthy of it all. Lorena Donate
