Missionary John Paul Lumakin DONATE Hello, Family and Friends! My name is John Paul Lumakin. I am a church musician and artist who was raised in ministry—my father is a pastor and my mother is a pastora. Growing up in this environment has been a great blessing and a journey of faith. Our family has always relied on God, and from a young age, I knew that Jesus was calling me into His greater purpose. Last year, I took a step of faith and pursued my dream of studying Performing Arts in Music Theatre. By God’s grace, I was blessed to become a scholar. However, just a month into my studies, I faced one of the most challenging seasons of my life when I became seriously ill while far from home in Luzon, with my parents in Leyte. Though painful and difficult, that season became a turning point—God used it to strengthen my faith, refine my character, and remind me that His plans are always greater than my own. Donate

Missionary Nathan Yates DONATE Hi everyone my name is Nathan Yates, I was born and raised in Southern California. When I was 17 years old Jesus saved me and brought me out of darkness into light and my life has never been the same. I am now 20 years old and recently I felt God asking me if I am willing to lay down what I thought I had planned for this coming year for the sake of His will and His hearts desires and join Circuit Riders for the next 7 months. We will be going on missions trips across the United States and Europe to see College Students saved, healed and set free. Circuit Riders is a missionary organization associated with YWAM which stands for Youth With A Mission and they burn to see souls saved and encounter the love of Jesus. My goal is to raise eight thousand dollars in fundraising support for housing and missions during this time with Circuit Riders. I deeply appreciate your prayers and financial support, God bless!

Missionary Alessio & Nina Iorio DONATE Dear friends, We hope this message finds you well. We wanted to take a moment to share about our journey and the mission that has captured our hearts. We are Alessio and Nina, full-time missionaries with an organization called YWAM that’s dedicated to reaching every nation with the Gospel of the Kingdom. Currently, we live in the northern part of Italy, serving the Lord and preparing to follow His calling to live out full-time missions in the Middle East. Our hearts cry out for the unreached—those who have never had the opportunity to hear about Jesus. This calling has become our mission and the very reason for our lives. We have made the courageous decision to leave everything behind, take up our cross, and follow Jesus to the heart of the Middle East, where we aim to reach those who have never heard or have no access to the Gospel. Our mission is simple yet profound: to make disciples of Jesus who will, in turn, make other disciples. We desire to join what God is doing in the land, planting house churches and sharing the Gospel with everyone we meet, embodying the principle of “freely you have received, freely give.” We are ready to learn the language of a specific people group, live among them, and become a part of their community—sharing in their joys and sorrows alike. As we prepare for this significant journey, we are seeking to raise $3000 to $3500 per month to cover our living expenses and ministry needs. We invite you to consider partnering with us in this vital mission. Your support can help us shine a light in places where darkness prevails. Together, we can be a part of something truly transformative. Thank you for considering joining us in our mission to bring hope and the message of Jesus to those who have yet to hear it. With gratitude and hope, Alessio and Nina Donate

Missionary Seb Cooke DONATE Hey, I’m Seb! I’m a nineteen-year-old missionary from Sydney, Australia. I’m currently serving full-time with YWAM Kona, and I feel so blessed to be part of an organisation whose purpose is to know God and make Him known. I have a heart to see young men pulled out of darkness, depression, and anxiety, and into the hope and light found in Jesus. I also have a passion for the 3.4 billion people worldwide who have never heard the gospel. I want to share with them the God who gave me hope—the God who cares deeply for them and who sacrificed His Son for them. Right now, I’m in leadership training in Norway, preparing to help lead our next January school in Kona. In Kona, I will actively disciple nine young men as they are trained. After that, I’ll lead a team of around ten students, alongside a co-leader, as we take the gospel to the nations. YWAM is entirely volunteer-based, which means being a staff member is still a volunteer role. As I serve full-time in missions, I raise my own support and trust God to provide monthly. To fully serve and partner with God in the Great Commission, I would be so grateful if you would consider partnering with me through financial support. My current goal is to raise $1,500 AUD per month through a team of supporters. I’m currently 10% of the way there! This support will cover my basic living costs, travel, and ministry. If you’d like to get in touch or receive updates, you can email me directly at sebastian.cooke.2006@gmail.com . Any support, prayer or financial is much appreciated. God bless, Sebastian Donate

Missionary Genesis Rodriguez DONATE Hi! I’m Genesis Rodriguez! I'm a full-time missionary with YWAM Circuit Riders, in Huntington Beach, California! Circuit Riders is a non-profit mission organization empowered by YWAM (Youth With A Mission). Circuit Riders believes in inspiring a generation to love like Jesus and equipping believers to be bold in their faith. I will be a first year missionary with them. I did my DTS with Circuit Riders and my whole life was completely changed. After living a life riddled by anxiety and without a sense of purpose, the love of Jesus completely changed that! He gave me freedom and purpose, something that the world or people could never give me. While I was doing my DTS, I felt the call of missions over my life. I always knew I wanted to be a missionary, but never knew what that could look like. Quickly, my heart was gripped and I knew that I wanted to share this love and freedom with my generation. The Lord showed me His heart for His people, and I knew I wanted to be apart of what He was doing. To reach His people with the gospel. Would you please pray-fully consider partnering with me? Thank you for reading! Genesis Rodriguez Donate

Missionary René & Valentina Zumkeller DONATE Hi friends, We’re René and Valentina, and our story began in 2022 when we met during our Discipleship Training School (DTS) with YWAM Mazatlán. During that time, God gave us a clear calling to reach the isolated and unreached with His love and truth. After DTS, we served on missions in Colombia, continuing to live out this calling. We later got married and deepened our training by attending a Bible school with YWAM, equipping ourselves further for the mission God has placed on our hearts. Now, we are stepping into leadership roles at YWAM Mazatlán, ready to disciple and send others into the nations. God has called us to be staff for the upcoming January DTS. We are excited to mentor students during this transformative season of their lives and to lead our first outreach, taking the gospel to those who need it most. As we step into this new season, we’re trusting God to provide the resources needed to serve and lead this outreach. Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support — together, we can bring hope, share the gospel, and see lives transformed for His kingdom. René and Valentina Donate

Missionary Madeline Duran DONATE Hi, I’m Madeline — a full-time missionary with Circuit Riders, a grassroots movement empowered by YWAM, committed to reaching our generation with the love and message of Jesus. My journey in missions began as a DTS student, where I witnessed firsthand what happens when young people encounter the Gospel — not just emotionally, but with life-altering, freedom-bringing power. I watched students get delivered, set free, and commissioned into purpose and something in me changed forever. That one yes has become a lifestyle. Now, I’ve stepped into full-time missions: preaching the Gospel, discipling young people, and mobilizing others to live fully surrendered to Jesus. Whether on campuses, in cities, or to the nations, I’m committed to going wherever He sends and loving whoever He puts in front of me. I’m currently believing for $2,000/month in monthly support to cover housing, basic needs, and ministry costs — and I’m building a team of partners to run with me in this call. Every gift sown is more than provision, it’s partnership in lives transformed and the Gospel going forth. Thank you for standing with me in this mission - in prayer, in generosity, and in heart. We’re running together. Madeline Donate

Missionary Jezriel & Shekinah Ardina DONATE Good day to you! My name is Jezriel, and my wife is Shekinah. We are both full-time missionaries under the umbrella of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Philippines and as I pioneer Heralds Philippines mission movement. Our mission primarily focuses on reaching unreached people groups, such as those in mountainous tribal communities, remote rural areas, and marginalized urban tribes. We share the Gospel of salvation, pray with people in repentance, and lead them to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We also pray for healing, believing in God’s miraculous touch, and we organize feeding programs for children as well as relief efforts for mothers and fathers. Most importantly, we distribute Bibles to ensure that every household in the community has access to God’s Word, helping to end Bible poverty. In addition to this, we actively engage in discipleship and evangelism in high schools, gathering students for worship, Bible teaching, and small groups where we connect with their hearts. We also conduct house-to-house and street evangelism in towns. Within YWAM, I serve as the Head of the Student Services, Mobilization, and Communication Departments, overseeing mission training and outreach efforts. My Testimony and Calling I grew up in a highly urbanized city in the Philippines with a strong ambition to excel as a business analyst, climb the corporate ladder, and eventually start my own business. However, I reached a point where I felt lost and stuck in corporate life. Overwhelmed with hopelessness, I contemplated suicide, planning to jump from the 16th floor of my office building. But the day before my planned attempt, someone intentionally shared the Gospel with me, and that day, on October 4, 2015, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. In 2018, God placed a burden on my heart to share His love with my colleagues. The corporate world feels spiritually dry, so I began a Bible study at my workplace. By God’s grace, more people joined, encountered Jesus, and gave their lives to Him. This small group grew, and God led me to name it Heralds Discipleship for Young Professionals. In April 2020, I had a prophetic dream in which two people approached me, inviting me to go with them to YWAM India. I woke up at 5:30 AM with goosebumps, deeply moved by the dream. At that time, I had never heard of YWAM—not from my pastors, church friends, or anyone I knew. Through prayer and the guidance of my church family, I felt God’s clear direction to step into the unknown. I left behind my 7-year corporate career, just after receiving a promotion, along with my business dreams, financial security, and personal plans—all for the sake of following Jesus. On October 2021, I took a leap of faith and joined YWAM for missionary training. I still remember crying at the airport, surrendering everything to Jesus and trusting Him fully with my future. Shekinah’s Background and Calling My wife, Shekinah, grew up in a Christian household in a rural part of the Philippines. After college, she joined YWAM in 2017. After her missionary training, God gave her a heart for missions in Laos, where she served as an English teacher and missionary under Mission Motivators for three years. Shekinah has a deep passion for intercessory prayer, while my calling is in teaching. As a worship leader, singer, and instrumentalist, she carries a vision to establish a 24/7 House of Prayer. Our Mission: Heralds Philippines Currently, my wife and I are pioneering Heralds Philippines in partnership with YWAM Philippines. Our mission is to reach lost people in the marketplace, sharing the love of Jesus through discipleship and leadership training in corporate offices. The backbone of Heralds Philippines is prayer. Our vision is to establish a 24/7 prayer and worship house in the Central Business Districts (CBDs) of major cities in the Philippines and in unreached nations like Laos. Partner With Us in God’s Mission As full-time missionaries, we do not receive a salary from our mission organization. Instead, we raise our own financial support through prayers and donations. Your support has a significant impact on our ministry, allowing us to continue fulfilling God’s call. By partnering with us, you become part of this mission as a sender, making it possible for lives to be transformed through the power of the Gospel. Our Financial Needs We are believing in faith for God’s provision to cover the monthly expenses: • $602 USD – Evangelism transportations, food, utilities, toiletries, mission housing, feeding programs for children as well as relief goods for mothers and fathers and other necessities. How You Can Partner With Us We invite you to pray with us and consider sowing a seed through prayer and monthly financial support of $50 USD, $100 USD, $150 USD, or any amount that you feel led by God to donate. Your generosity will help us reach the unreached, disciple new believers, and transform lives. If you would like to know more about our mission work, see photos, testimonies, and other documentation, please feel free to contact me.

Missionary Evan Jakubowski DONATE Hi friends! My name is Evan Jakubowski :) I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota and I've been a missionary for the better part of 4 years now! Jesus radically delivered me from a life of addiction and called me into a life of missions when I was 19 years old. I did my first Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Brisbane, Australia through Youth With A Mission (YWAM) back in 2019. The love of God completely changed my life while I was there; gripping my heart for missions and lighting a fire in me to pursue the Lord with everything I've got, sharing His transformative unconditional love and leading as many people into relationship with Him as I can! I went back to serve with YWAM for a few more years, staffing DTS's, mentoring students, leading outreaches, organising ministries, and much more. I was able to see and be a part of many miraculous healings, many people giving their lives to the Lord, freedom and restoration in families and communities, and many many lives being touched and transformed all by the unmatchable power and love of Jesus! I now believe God is calling me to attend Lifestyle Christianity University (LCU) before I serve with YWAM again. LCU is an equipping program/ministry school designed to disciple you in your God-given identity and equip you to extend the love of Jesus in your day-to-day life. I will be learning how to better share the love of God everywhere I go and with everyone that I meet, making my faith a lifestyle. A lifestyle of generosity, a lifestyle of ministry and helping those in need, a lifestyle of evangelism, a lifestyle of Holy Spirit power and ushering in encounters with a loving miraculous God, and a lifestyle of selfless sacrificial love for those around me. I will be learning a lot, but I will also be a part of many mercy ministries and evangelistic ministries. I will be ministering to people nearly everywhere I go on a daily basis (hence making it a lifestyle). My hope in doing this school is to take everything that God teaches me and instills in me during this season and apply it in future missions both locally and overseas in the years to come. My heart is to represent Jesus in the best way that I can to this lost and dying world, being a conduit for Him to flow through to bring hope, healing, freedom, redemption, restoration, life, and joy! I believe He wants to do this through all of us. I believe He wants to do this through YOU! I encourage you to say "yes" to Him and the leading of His Spirit, to take a step of faith in loving people and to allow Jesus to bring the change through you that you hope to see in this world! If you'd like to be a part of what God is doing in and through my life and to partner with me in seeing Jesus transform this world through His power, love, and good news of the gospel, then I please ask that you prayerfully consider supporting me in my missions financially and/or prayerfully. May we all live our lives worthy of the price that He paid! Thank you and God bless you! Evan :) Donate
