Missionary Andre Austin DONATE Hello and Konnichiwa! My name is Andre Austin. I am a missionary to the nation of Japan. I previously served there first as a DTS student with YWAM Tokyo, and then joined as a staff member for two years. God is now directing me to the city of Sendai, Japan to join the YWAM base there! Japan is a beautiful country with a rich culture. They have just about anything anyone could want at their finger tips. So why do they need missionaries? Japan is one of the leaders in the world for suicide and depression. All the amazing cars, delicious ramen, or lovely scenery does not satisfy the soul. ManyJapanese struggle with hopelessness, feeling unloved, and think their life is unimportant. There is also a lot of societal pressure to work hard to show your worth. They work extremely hard unto becoming physically ill at times. God wants them to know He loves them POWERFULLY. They are needed and not forgotten. I have done some work with the homeless population in Japan previously, and I understand this will be a big part of my work with YWAM Sendai. I will also be incorporating my skills with the piano for different ministries. This was something I did on a regular basis with YWAM Tokyo for different church services. I would love to create new ministries wherever there is a need to be met. Creating genuine, intentional relationships with the Japanese is crucial. This is what opens their ears to the Gospel. This, and the love that God has given to the missionaries for the Japanese people. They can feel that love! I am raising $1400 dollars a month for my time with Ywam Sendai. The funds will be used for: •Groceries •Transportation (Trains are a huge part of life in Japan.) •Housing fees •Health insurance This will go on for about 3 years. Please prayerfully consider joining me in showing the Japanese who Jesus is and how He feels about them! They are not forgotten and God has plans to use the Japanese for mighty ministries around the world! Thank you for your time reading my bio and God bless! Andre Donate

Missionary Mandie Van Kley DONATE Hi, I am Mandie! The Lord has changed my life and heart through the power of His love, and I desire that all would know this love! The Lord has set the least reached people on my heart. My biggest desire is that those who have never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel would be given that chance! Around 30% of the world has never heard the Gospel, and most of these people live in the 10/40 window of the world. I am just starting out long term mission work by partnering with Bethel Missions and joining a team that will be sharing the Gospel across the 10/40 window for 8 months. We will spend time in several countries, and our goal and vision is to see the light of Jesus shine where His Name has maybe never even been heard. We will take these 8 months to empower the long term workers, join in with the local church, and share the Gospel with those who have not yet heard. Following this, I plan to begin long term work in the Middle East. The Lord encountered me a few years ago, and asked me to go. I said, "YES!" The harvest is so ripe - would you join me in seeing revival in this part of the world? Mandie Donate

Missionary Abdul Papanie Turay DONATE Serving Through Compassion, Prayer, and Medical Ministry My name is Abdul Papanie, and I serve with YWAM Mercy Ministries Madagascar in Toamasina, Madagascar. Originally from Sierra Leone, I am privileged to serve as a chaplain with the Mercy Ministries Medical Team. My responsibility focuses on caring for the spiritual and emotional needs of those we serve. I spend time praying with patients, listening to their stories, sharing encouragement from God's Word, and offering hope through Christ. I also support and pray for our medical staff, community health workers, and the many ministry projects that bring practical and spiritual transformation to vulnerable communities. About YWAM Mercy Ministries Madagascar YWAM Mercy Ministries Madagascar is a faith-based medical and missionary organization dedicated to serving remote villages and island communities throughout Madagascar. We mobilize medical professionals and ministry volunteers—including doctors, dentists, nurses, and missionaries—to work alongside local teams in bringing healthcare, compassion, and the Gospel to those in need. Our mission is to improve health outcomes in underserved communities while demonstrating God's love through practical service. Through this vision, we have established 50 community health posts in villages along Madagascar's East Coast, serving the districts of Toamasina II, Brickaville, and Fénérive-Est. Our medical team regularly visits these communities to supervise health posts, train community health workers, and provide essential healthcare services. During these outreach visits, we offer: Free medical consultations Health and hygiene education Deworming medication for children Gospel outreach and prayer ministry In addition, we are developing a community-based Health Mutual program that helps families access preventive healthcare and manage health-related expenses. Our outreach initiatives bring free medical care to some of Madagascar's most isolated and underserved populations, restoring health, dignity, and hope. We also operate the Island Reach Medical Care Ship Project, which delivers healthcare services to remote island communities that would otherwise have little or no access to medical assistance. YWAM Mercy Ministries Madagascar is part of the global Youth With A Mission (YWAM) network, serving communities through evangelism, discipleship, and mercy ministries. An Invitation to Partner As a YWAM missionary, I am responsible for raising my own financial support. This allows me to dedicate my time and energy fully to serving those God has called me to reach. While I trust God as my ultimate provider, I also believe He works through the generosity and partnership of His people. I would like to invite you to prayerfully consider partnering with me in this ministry. Your support helps make it possible for me to continue serving some of the poorest and most vulnerable communities in Madagascar through prayer, pastoral care, medical outreach, and community development. Whether through a monthly commitment or a one-time gift, your partnership makes a lasting impact in the lives of individuals and families who desperately need both physical and spiritual care. Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and partnership in advancing God's Kingdom in Madagascar.

Missionary Gabriel & Michelle Strydom DONATE Hello, We are Gabriel and Michelle Strydom, and we serve with Fire & Fragrance South Africa in Potchefstroom, a university town about 120 km from Johannesburg. In 2020, we pioneered this missions community with a simple yes to Jesus: to build a people of prayer, worship, discipleship, evangelism, training, and sending. What began as a small pioneering team has grown into a thriving missions family of over 170 missionaries from many nations, all giving themselves to one vision: to catalyze a generation and evangelize the world. Our deepest desire is to know God and make Him known. Over the last few years, we have seen thousands come to Jesus, trained nearly a thousand students, and helped raise up young leaders who are carrying the gospel into campuses, cities, churches, families, nations, and unreached places. Our work has grown into a broad apostolic ecosystem. We are involved in daily prayer and worship, discipleship schools, Bible training, worldview formation, leadership development, evangelism, high school and university ministry, media, Bible translation, church planting, mercy ministry, recovery ministry, fitness, education, and missions mobilization. We also work with local churches, ministries, leaders, and movements across South Africa, Africa, and the nations. As a family, we have given our lives to seeing Jesus receive the reward of His suffering. We believe South Africa is filled with young men and women who are called by God, and our burden is to see them encountered by Jesus, rooted in Scripture, formed in holiness, filled with the Holy Spirit, equipped for leadership, and sent into the fullness of their calling. We are also carrying a national and global burden for mission. Through Fire & Fragrance, The Send, training schools, outreach teams, gospel campaigns, discipleship initiatives, and partnerships across the body of Christ, we are laboring to see the Church mobilized into prayer, evangelism, missions, and the unreached. At the same time, we are stepping into a new season of multiplication. Our heart is to see regional hubs and local gospel communities planted, leaders trained and sent, prayer and worship strengthened, churches equipped, campuses reached, and the gospel carried to the hardest and darkest places on earth, from university campuses to isolated villages, from city centers to unreached people groups. Jesus is worthy of the worship of every nation, every tribe, every people, and every language. Our lives are given to seeing Him receive the reward of His suffering. Prayerfully consider partnering with us as we give ourselves to prayer, discipleship, evangelism, training, mercy, leadership development, church planting, and sending, until South Africa, Africa, and the nations are filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord. With gratitude, Gabriel & Michelle Strydom Fire & Fragrance South Africa Donate

Missionary Tiffany George DONATE Tiffany is the daughter of Nigerian immigrants. She was born and raised near Atlanta, Georgia, where she developed a heart for medical missions at an early age. After graduating from university, she planned to get her master's degree and begin her career in global health policy. Little did she know that God would soon call her to pause her pursuits and become a full-time missionary in her early 20s. Statistics show that less than 1% of missionaries sent from the U.S. are Black. Tiffany notes that she is only where she is today because other Black missionaries said yes to the Great Commission before her. Thus, she carries a deep burden to see more Black men and women (not just in the U.S. but around the world) say yes to their Christ-centered calling. Through her yes, Tiffany has watched Black students across the U.S., Europe, and Africa answer that same call to missions. Within Circuit Riders, she serves as the operational and administrative backbone of Black Voices Movement, ensuring that the vision is translated into clear systems, structures, and execution across all departments. She also helps train and equip leaders to be confident messengers of the Gospel, in both the U.S. and in Europe. Donate

Good News Collective Mission Organization Donate The Good News Collective is a local church being planted in Rochester, NY. Our desire is to have Jesus first in every area of our life. As we prioritize our relationship with Jesus our hope is to proclaim and live out the Good News of the cross, the resurrection, and the coming King. Jesus said in John 4:38: "I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor." Out of awe and gratitude for the Good News, we are building relationships with local churches and the people in our community. Through our dependence on God, in prayer, worship, and loving others in real relationships, we believe that God is going to move through the Good News Collective to be part of the harvest of souls saved, life changing community, and revival of Jesus being the first love in Rochester. Thank you for your prayers and support. John & Tracy Rizzo Donate

Kale Baltazar DONATE Hello, I'm Kale Baltazar. I'm 19 years old, originally from Washington, and have a passion for photography, videography, and following Jesus. Over the last several months, God has continued to grow my heart for missions and storytelling. I have seen how powerful media can be in sharing testimonies, capturing what God is doing around the world, and helping others connect with His mission. My desire is to use the creative gifts God has given me to serve His mission and point people toward Jesus. This year, I am stepping into a role as media staff with Fire and Fragrance in Nashville. Through photography, videography, and storytelling, I will have opportunities to serve ministries, document missions, and share stories of God's faithfulness both locally and internationally. I am excited to continue growing as a storyteller while supporting projects that help communicate the Gospel and encourage believers around the world. As I take this step of faith, I am building a team of people who want to partner with what God is doing through this ministry. My goal is to raise monthly support that will sustain me in full-time ministry and help fund future media trips. These opportunities allow me to capture stories, document the work God is doing around the world, and create media that encourages, informs, and helps share the message of Jesus across cultures and nations. If you would like to invest in missions, discipleship, and using media to advance the Gospel, I would love to have you join my support team through prayer, financial partnership, or both. Your support allows me to spend my time fully serving others and sharing stories that ultimately show the heart of Jesus and point others to Him. Thank you, Kale Donate

Missionary Lucy Kileo DONATE My name is Lucy Kileo, and I serve as a full-time missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Harpenden. I was born in Tanzania and, from an early age, experienced significant challenges that shaped my journey. Through seasons of uncertainty, God faithfully met me, bringing healing, purpose, and a deep understanding of His love. Today, my life is a testimony of God's redemption and His ability to bring beauty from difficult beginnings. God has given me a passion for hospitality, community, and creating spaces where people feel seen, valued, and welcomed. I currently serve as a chef at Kinahan Lodge, a ministry of YWAM Harpenden that brings together Christian leaders, professionals, and innovators for connection, collaboration, and spiritual encouragement. Through hospitality, excellent food, and intentional community, I help create environments where people can rest, build relationships, and encounter God in meaningful ways. My ministry is rooted in the belief that simple acts of welcome can have a lasting impact. Whether through preparing meals, hosting gatherings, encouraging individuals, or creating opportunities for discipleship, my desire is to help people experience belonging, hope, and transformation. What I once longed for in my own life a place to feel safe, known, and at home has become the very thing God has called me to create for others. As a full-time missionary, I do not receive a salary and rely entirely on the generosity of individuals, churches, and friends who partner with me. Financial support enables me to continue serving long-term, establish a stable home base for ministry, and create spaces where people can gather, receive care, and grow in their faith. Prayer support is equally important, providing spiritual covering, wisdom, and strength as I serve. I would be grateful if you would consider joining me in this mission through prayer and financial partnership. Together, we can help create environments where people encounter God's love, find community, and experience lasting transformation. Every prayer, every gift, and every partnership becomes part of the story God is writing through this ministry. Lucy Donate

Missionary Asya Surphlis DONATE Hello, everyone, my name is Asya, and I am a 24-year-old young lady who loves Jesus because He died for me. I knew Jesus my whole life, but was led astray starting around 2020. Jesus met me where I was and reminded me of the hope I have in salvation. The way my life changed in the blink of an eye was almost unbelievable, suddenly there was more light than darkness. Jesus brought the sunshine back to my life when I was saved again. Psalms 23 talks about the Good Shepherd, and Jesus is truly that Ki Tov Adonai without His rod and staff, I would still be lost. I am grateful for what the Lord has done in my life and can’t wait to see what else He has planned for me. My prayer is that Jesus will use me in many ways to help bring other people who are lost back to him with the Holy Spirit. God has truly restored my soul and wants to restore many more. Currently, I am a part of many ministries at my church, outside, and online. My favorite ministry currently is the kids ministry, which I do after school with young girls, once a week, ages 4-10. We pray for one another, learn about the Bible, how to be good sisters in Christ, and how to be Christ-like. Teaching them has really added a new light to my life. I have great fellowship on Sundays during service and Mondays with my young adults group. I really value fellowship, and I am so blessed to be immersed in the love that comes with it. My “outside” ministry would be evangelism, which I have found I am seriously falling in love with. My online ministry is my podcast, tiktok, and Instagram, and I use this to reach my generation in a way that is familiar to them. I am still learning how to properly steward this with the Lord, and being a part of the Circuit Riders ministry will really help me cultivate that . I am positive that the time I spend on mission with the Circuit Riders will bless me, my loved ones, and everyone I come in contact with. My heart is so filled, and the overflow that I have received has been overwhelming. This blessing has reminded me that God is in full control and I need to trust Him and move forward with Him (Exodus 13). I know that Jesus will never fail, and He will always make a way, so I am requesting from you prayers for favor, guidance, wisdom, protection, and provisions during this time, please and thank you. The Holy Spirit has led me to this new journey, and I am not sure how this will be possible, but I have given Jesus my trust, and yes, Amen. This will be a 4-month mission trip that will start with the first 8 weeks containing education surrounding evangelism, outreach, and scripture. The next 8 weeks I will spend being on mission to the destination that Circuit Riders chooses for me. During the mission trip, we will spread the gospel, worship, and overall spread the Love of Christ while displaying how to be Christ-like. I am so grateful for all of your prayers and every donation that is sent. Your support truly means more than I could ever explain. Please know that your blessings will not go unnoticed. I can not wait to see the boldness that I prayed for, grow and be used for the kingdom of God (Acts 4:23-31). It would be an honor to be a builder of the kingdom for His Glory and Honor. I know the Lord will make a way out of literally no way. Please continue to keep me in your prayers. I will continue to ask the Lord to bless all of you as well, and may He continue to be Jireh in each one of our lives. May his grace and mercy follow you all the days of your lives, and may you dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen. Romans 16:24-27 Asya Donate
