Missionary Joey Frias DONATE Joey Frias Hello, my name is Joey Frias. I am a 22 year old missionary with YWAM who is just looking to serve God in every way possible by going into the nations and showing the world the love that he has shown me. In this season I am back in Hawaii doing leadership track which is training me to be able to lead a team into the nations this upcoming September for Fire and Fragrance. I'm asking for help in supporting my endeavors in pursuing what God has put on my heart and my mind. I know he will provide no matter what because He has never failed me once. Thank you so much for your time. Keep me in your prayers. Joey Donate

Missionary Alex Ellis DONATE Hey y’all! My name is Alexandra “Alex” Ellis and I am a teacher turned missionary. Before I type another word, I must make this statement: I NEVER THOUGHT I’D BE HERE. Where is “here” you ask? Here… is in the Third Ward (inner city) of Houston at Nations House of Prayer as a missionary as a Children’s Director (Pastor). A couple of months ago, I had to literally ask the Lord, “God, what are you doing?” I realize now, this journey is less about me knowing the answer to the question and more about me walking out the answer with Him. You see, after He called me to finish my last year as a Special Education Teacher in July 2025, I had no real plan and no transition guide book. Just faith and boots. So, the steps began and - in what seemed like minutes - I walked right into a calling I had not REALLY perceived . . . to serve the Lord through the children’s ministry. Godly counsel told me: YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT’S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR OBEDIENCE. So, after giving a “yes” to the Lord, here you are reading a bio I never thought I would be writing! And that question arose again, “God, what are you doing?” It has become clear that God has called me into the unknown, to submit to HIS will and the work of the Kingdom with NATIONS House of Prayer. NATIONS HOUSE OF PRAYER The vein of this house is ministry to the Lord FIRST. In James 4:8, Jesus says “Draw near to me and I will draw near to you”. Thus, as we minister to the Lord through thankfulness, praise and worship first, He gives us His heart. As we look at Him through His Word first, He gives us His eyes to see others - the lost, the sick, the widow, the orphan, the poor, and the broken. Our hearts grow compassionate and we intercede (pray) and move to action on our neighbors’ behalf. Ministry to Jesus FIRST, has drawn us into the rhythm of HIS heart: GOING IN: Seeking Him and sitting with Him in prayer morning, noon and night GOING OUT: Sharing the gospel with our neighbors in the inner city of Houston and those abroad in Haiti, Honduras and South Asia. BUILDING COMMUNITY: As a hub for Nations School, we dive deeper into the Word and into the lives of one another in “Transformation Groups”. FEEDING HIS SHEEP: On October 5th, we launched our church and souls are being fed the Word of truth! We also host a food drive monthly for our Third Ward community. WELCOMING THE CHILDREN: In Matthew 19:14, the Lord says “Let the children come to me” and we did with a Back to School Bash! Over 100 kids showed up and joy filled the parking lot! In His House, we will soon be making way for 9,000 sq ft to be dedicated to children only. Oh but if only you could see the vision! God has called me to create a “table” for the kids to come in and learn who they are in Him, fill up on His love, joy and peace and be taught His promises. They will feast on His Word and be stirred up as Jesus followers and witnesses in the earth! We will be raising up the next generation of Judah praisers, Joshua’s and Caleb’s! We will be raising up voices that will declare “Prepare ye the way of the Lord”. They will be firestarters and waterwalkers, children of great faith and warriors of prayer and worship. They will be healed and go out and heal. We are not building a baby-sitting club, but a temple with Holy-spirit-filled children who won’t be afraid to shake the foundations of darkness and preach the good news EVERYWHERE! How honored I am to take part. Fellow people! This is only a bite-sized peek into what God is doing; and make no mistake…HE IS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO MUCH MORE. Thus, your partnership is NOT about me, it’s about partnering with the Lord to accomplish HIS will on earth. As you pour in your prayers and/or financial support, you are helping to keep this engine and its many parts at NATIONS functional and fired up for a committed work unto the Lord. The result: Transformation WILL spring up all around us and kids, men, women, families, communities, cities, and nations will be turned upside down to the glory of God! So, thank you for reading this page, praying, sharing or making a financial contribution. May whatever you decide to do, be as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23-24).

MISSIONARY Pamela Jimenez DONATE My name is Pamela and I am a full-time missionary with YWAM Circuit Riders. The mission of Circuit Riders is saving the lost, reviving the saved, and training them all! The purpose of Circuit riders is to bring hope and love across the nation through universities, colleges, and high school campuses. We have the privilege of evangelizing, which is sharing the simple gospel with people, praying, and connecting with local ministries across the U.S. to make an impact. We also equip students to go out and fulfill the great commission! I want my generation to come to know Jesus! I will be organizing a team to tour our nation so we can share the good news! In these tour teams, we travel across America and visit campuses to pray for students and help them reach their campus and make an impact locally. In addition to sharing the gospel with our generation, the Hispanic community burns on my heart. I would love to help empower the Hispanic community to raise their voices and share their stories as a part of advancing the Kingdom of God. The world is looking for answers and for hope and Jesus is just that. In the Bible, John 14:6 reminds us that, “He is the way and the truth and the life”; and that we need Jesus so that we can have a relationship with God. I would be honored if you prayed about partnering with me financially and through prayer. How amazing it is that God allows us to sow into the kingdom of God through our finances! This means you get to invest in our generation to see true transformation in Christ! I’m excited to see the lives of many changed and our generation saved, set free, and empowered to catalyze our world. Pamela Donate

Missionary Megan Stauffer DONATE Hi, my name is Megan Stauffer and I am a child of God, follower of Jesus, and missionary to the nations! I am a firm believer that there is so much fulfillment, satisfaction, and JOY when you are living life on purpose and With A Mission (YWAM pun intended ;)! We were made to be living for Christ WHOLEheartedly as a living sacrifice for the ONE who created the Heavens and the earth and everything in it (see Romans 12)--it all belongs to Him!! And there's SO much joy when we are living in full surrender to Him and in relationship with our good Father! He will take us on many adventures if we let Him ;) Living in relationship with God--Maker of the universe and of our lives--is not something that all get to know however. For example, Thailand is only considered approximately 1.2% Christian, to compare, America is 63%. There are almost 62 MILLION people who are unreached (who have never heard the good news of Jesus or received the life of the Holy Spirit) in Thailand. How will they know if no one tells them?? (Romans 10:13-19) !!!STORYTIME!!! In the June of 2023 I got the joy to be able to travel to Thailand for the first time. It was a super last minute kind of thing but I got to go with a prayer team from my church network. I had to be 18 to go along on this trip but with the LORD's timing, I turned 18 ONE day before we left (favorite birthday gift from God so far)! This was the first time I ever traveled out of the country and my first mission trip! On this first trip to Thailand I began to fall in love with the country and the people there and the LORD grew my desire to come back. ...Well before this trip even ended I got another opportunity to go back in about 3 months time. So I prayed... There were two verses I felt the LORD reminding me (John 14:26): 1. Romans 10:14-15 "How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” 2. Matthew 10:16 “I am SENDING you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves." God was sending me, so I committed to going again in that September. As I awaited this next trip doubts began to arise in my mind and I started questioning if I had made the right decision to go to Thailand again. But one morning God gave me the clarity I had been asking for... and MORE! ... I had a yard sale at YWAM that I was helping with one morning... I was in a rush and I needed a box for something... I saw one I had stuffed with over a THOUSAND random notes from strangers in it. (it was a social experiment my best friend and I had done) So I dumped out all of the notes onto my bed and went about my day. That night I went to a Jesus rally (yeah I know right, Lancaster country PA is pretty cool :) ....well I honestly don't remember much from that night except at the VERY end when everyone was leaving, a guy went up on stage (random fun fact: we became neighbors at one point in YWAM)... the words that came out of his mouth stuck with me... "SO I AM SENDING YOU OUT AS SHEEP AMONG WOLVES, SO BE AS SHREWD AS SERPENTS AND HARMLESS AS DOVES." It was the confirmation from the LORD that I so needed and I received the peace He gave me that I was supposed go to Thailand again! I also felt His love like CRAZY and praised Him for so clearly speaking and answering my prayers!!! ...OK but that's not even CLOSE to being it! Jesus is so good and gives way more than we could ever think, ask or imagine!!... So that night I went home super tired and as soon as I got there I saw the whole pile of notes on the bed I was so ready to pass out on. So I SCOOPED the 1,000 notes into my arms and plopped them onto a chair in my room. And surprisingly none but ONE fell to the floor... so I bent and picked it up and looked to see what was written on it.... all I saw was one word..... NO JOKE... "THAILAND" I WAS SO OVERWHELMED BY THE LOVE OF THE LORD, especially that He would give me such clarity. So I went to bed and slept in a load of peace. (the story's still not over :))) ...I woke up the next morning, got out of bed and noticed there was actually one other note I missed that fell on the floor, but it was written on a paper towel (must've been super important to the strangers to write it I guess lol). On it it said... "HOME" and it had a little heart on it. In that very moment I felt the peace of Jesus calling me to make Thailand my home. So that's what my goal is: to be obedient to the call of God on my life, to invite others (YOU) into it, and to bring others in Thailand to THEIR HOME found in Jesus!!! Finishing this partial testimony (because it's still in the process of course, and with YOUR help can come to fulfillment!), I went to Thailand for a second trip that September which by the way was the best trip of my life, and then I did a YWAM DTS (Discipleship Training School) that October in Lancaster. It had been decided that our outreach for that school was to go to Cambodia but the very day I moved in I found out--in disbelief for a solid week--that we would have a SECOND outreach location in... THAILAND!!!! This then led to THREE different trips to Thailand within the span of ONE year along with a total of approximately TEN other mission trips that same year (GOD WAS/IS MOVING!!). So with all that maybe you're wondering now what my current steps are towards that goal and what exactly I'd be doing in Thailand... this is something I am still figuring out but I have felt Him speak to me about 2025 being the year I will go again (most likely longer term)! I have been praying and dreaming with the LORD about what He wants to do in Thailand and I have felt a couple different ideas that I hold with open hands: coffee shop, adventure discipleship school (or something similar), and somehow helping with those who are sex trafficked. This Fall I will also be attending a Bible school with YWAM Lancaster called CBS (Catalyst Bible School). This will help grow a stronger Biblical foundation for longterm missions, it will help me grow in leadership and working in teams, and I hope and pray it will be a place where I will meet others with a call to Thailand as well to join a team to go together. Your prayers are very very much appreciated for all of this. Pray that Jesus will continue to mold me into the person He wants me to be for the specific call He has and that He will lead me into that. Pray also that He will bring a team together that all have a clear call from Him to Thailand and to work together and that our gifts will compliment each other and we will be able to be unified and work well together for His glory. If you feel the LORD is leading you to support me financially, both short-term or long-term, your support is a huge blessing whether big or small and I pray that you would also be blessed in your blessing me. It may be difficult to have enough money for longterm missions so if you feel led to partner with me in prayer and or fundraising, YOU will be a part of my team and ministry and what the Holy Spirit does through me in the nations and the hearts of His people, and YOU will also receive a reward for how you have blessed and invested in the Kingdom of God! Thank you so much, God bless you immensely, Much love :) Megan Reese Stauffer Donate

Missionary Kyle Waters DONATE Hello, my name is Kyle Waters and I am an American missionary based in São Paulo, Brazil. I came to the Lord in 2019 while doing a DTS (Discipleship Training School) with YWAM (Youth With A Mission). He spoke to me and told me that His desire for my life was to preach the gospel to the lost, pray for healing, and cast out demons in Jesus name in the nations! Since then the Lord has refined me and matured me in faith and in 2021 He called me to move, full time, to Brazil. I have lived there for 2 years now serving with Zion Church and Dunamis Movement. This church’s heart and this movement’s mission is to see the Kingdom of God lived out in fullness in every sphere of society! (Business, Arts, Government, Church, Communications, Education, and Family.) My role in this is to educate and minister to young adults who want to bring the Kingdom of God back to their homes and work spaces. We have a school yearly that we invite students from all around the world to come be trained, encouraged, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to walk in their Kingdom identity. When this school is not happening, I am serving in the local church and traveling to preach at different states both in Brazil and in the US. Due to the nature of my Religious Visa I am unable to obtain a job here in Brazil. This is where you come in! Thanks to your obedient heart and generosity towards what the Lord is doing through my life here in Brazil, I am able to pay for housing, ministry costs, transportation, etc… The Lord has blessed me with such amazing people like yourself who have the desire to sow into the good soil of the Gospel happening here in São Paulo Brazil! Thank you for partnering with the Lord and me through your prayers and financial support! Donate

I am a part of a collaborative non-profit missions organization called Circuit Riders empowered by Youth With A Mission. The heart of the Circuit Riders is to save the lost, revive the saved and train them all. We want to inspire a generation to love like Jesus!

MISSIONARY Hannah McRight DONATE Hi! My name is Hannah McRight, I am a full-time missionary with YWAM (Youth with a Mission) in Kona, Hawaii but with plans to move to the Middle East within the next year. YWAM is a global organization with teams all over the world whose primary vision is to know God and make Him known. I am currently working with Fire and Fragrance ministries, which is a branch from YWAM. Where our goal is to inspire our generation to action-to more time spent in God’s presence, to a greater love for the Bible and prayer and a growing boldness to reach out and share the love of Jesus-believing God can transform the nations. Practically this season in Hawaii has looked like being a staff and volunteer at our 6-month school called DTS (Discipleship Training School), where we train young adults about the Bible and how to share the gospel in other cultures and environments with different religions. It’s been a privilege to see students learn their identity in Jesus and walk out who He has called them to be. Which is really my heart and what I want to carry into the Middle East, which is helping women see their identity and the beauty in who God has made them to be. Therefore, as I continue to staff in Hawaii and prepare to go to the Middle East, I would appreciate it if you would pray about being part of my financial team as I continue to get equipped until I permanently move to the field.
