I was born in Brasília and currently live in Goiânia, Goiás, in the heart of Brazil's Central-West region. I have been married for 27 years to my beloved wife, Betty Viviane, who is from Ituiutaba, Minas Gerais, and was raised in a Christian home. Together, we have walked faithfully in God's calling for our lives, serving His Kingdom with dedication and love. I was called by God in 1991, at the age of 21, when I began serving in the church as a keyboardist in a worship group. Through this ministry, God opened doors for evangelism, social outreach, preaching of the Word, evangelistic impact events, youth clubs, and mission trips to several states in Brazil, as well as to the United States, Spain, and the Netherlands. Each experience strengthened my commitment to the mission of reaching lives for Christ. Today I serve as an elder at Maranatha Presbyterian Church, also participating in church administration, the worship ministry, and the local missionary movement. My wife and I have dedicated our lives to Christian service and caring for people, especially through social projects and community impact initiatives. Currently, I am preparing for a YWAM Discipleship Training School located in Camaragibe, Recife – PE, with the purpose of working directly with vulnerable communities. Our desire is to fully serve the Kingdom of God, bringing hope, discipleship, care, and transformation wherever the Lord sends us. We are seeking prayer partners and financial supporters to sustain this calling. Our needs include the couple's living expenses, missionary trips, and support for the social projects we develop. We believe that God raises up people to walk alongside us, and we invite you to be a part of this mission, investing in lives and in the advancement of the Gospel. Donate

MISSIONARY Rees & Madi McDaniel DONATE Rees and Madi McDaniel are co-pioneers of YWAM Mat-Su Valley in Alaska with their parents, David and Maria. Rees and Madi have long held a deep love of Alaska and have lived there off and on for the past five years. They believe that the Lord wishes to ignite a fire of revival here that will spread to the four corners of the state and then down into the Lower 48 as well. Rees grew up in YWAM Tokyo, living in Japan for fifteen years, the last three of which he served with his parents as a full-time missionary, focusing primarily on worship leading, discipleship, and community building. It was during the School of Worship and Transformation in 2018 that he met his now wife, Madi, who had long loved discipleship, counseling, and worship, which were her primary reasons for coming to Japan. They separately moved back to the United States before eventually getting married in the summer of 2023. They have lived in Oklahoma and Washington before moving back to Alaska with the intent of serving the Kingdom in a full-time capacity once more. Rees and Madi live together with their two dogs, Milo and Gus. Donate

Missionary Julian S DONATE For the past four years, I have been a full-time missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). I have been serving in Discipleship Training Schools for young people and sending them out all over the world on short-term missions. Through these discipleship schools, we have seen lost people surrender their lives to the Lord, true impact in the nations, and young people’s lives transformed. My journey so far has been focused on providing leadership for these short-term schools. I am thrilled to announce that I am following the Lord’s leading to move to the field and work among the unreached. I did not fully understand God’s call on my life until my Discipleship Training School at 18 years old. During the first week of class, I felt the Lord speak to me, telling me that I was called to be a pioneering missionary. Since then, I have sought to remain faithful and obedient to the Father, one step at a time. Looking back, even as a child, I remember reading the story of Eric Liddell—a missionary and Olympic runner—when I was nine years old and desiring to do what he did. Though I am no Olympic runner, I am privileged to say that I am a missionary. In June 1956, our founder, Loren Cunningham, had a vision of waves of young people from all around the world going to every tongue, tribe and nation. This vision led Loren to start Youth With A Mission, an organization committed to knowing God and making Him known. Today, YWAM is an international and interdenominational global missions movement operating in over 180 countries. We long for the day when the Great Commission is fulfilled! In order to fully step into God’s call on my life to missions, I need to gather a team of like minded people who will stand with me in prayer and financial partnership. Your financial partnership would enable me to give my full-time, energy and strength to this exciting ministry. Thank you so much! Julian Donate

Missionary Victor Rivera DONATE Hello, and blessings! I truly pray that you, your loved ones, and all that your hand touches are beyond blessed! My name is Victor Miguel Rivera! I am a missionary evangelist who believes in equipping the body of Christ through discipleship, training, and Sending! I am currently stationed in Australia and called to serve as a bridge between America and Australasia, Oceana, and the Pacific! For those who may not know my story, you can watch a full video of my testimony by going on the Australian YouTube Ministry, “Deliverance Down Under,” and searching, “Criminal Occultist finds Jesus after his throat is cut | Victor’s Jesus Testimony.” But, just as a quick background into my story; I am born and raised in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California. I was born into a non-Christian family with occult practices. I turned to street crime life, was arrested several times, and almost lost my life in many different ways; including being stabbed in the throat at just 16 years old. At 18 years old, I was invited to a Bible study where I accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior! In 2010 I was baptized and joined the Foursquare Church Denomination where I have been a member for over 15 years, serving in several different ways, including being on church staff. In 2023, I became a full-time missionary and joined YWAM (Youth With A Mission); taking me to several countries around the world to preach the Gospel, including several closed nations! In July of 2024, I felt led by the Lord to move to Australia and get married. My wife was born and raised in Newcastle, Australia. The local Christian community, YWAM Bases, and Australian Foursquare Denomination accepted us with wide open arms; being invited to share my testimony, preach sermons, and messages all throughout Australia. Here in Australia there is much work to be done! The local churches, local ministries, YWAM Bases, and overall Body of Christ desperately needs workers! I feel compelled to answer the Macedonian call and to respond by saying, “Here am I, Lord. Send me,” - Isaiah 6:8. Pastors and leaders have dreams of re-pioneering ministries, worship events, community outreaches, disciplining a nation and much more! Work of this magnitude requires full-time dedicated missionaries; called by the Lord! In addition to all of this work, the YWAM/ Para-ministry missions mobilization stadium event, called, “The Send,” is coming to the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia in October of 2027; hoping to gather thousands and answer the call to mobilize a generation for the sake of the Gospel! Even though Australia was a leading nation in the decline of Christianity, the last four years has seen a dramatic growth in Christianity among youth and young adults! Millions need to be discipled, churches need to be planted, missionaries need to be trained, much work needs to be done! The body of Christ in Australia also plays an important role in the region, as missionaries are sent all throughout Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands! Australia is a strategic nation, called to influence surrounding nations to Christ! Please prayerfully consider partnering with what the Lord is doing in fulfillment of The Great Commission! As you partner with me, you also play an important role in fulfilling the Great Commission! Some are called to Go, and some are called to SEND! This is the partnership! I am called to Go, and partners are called to SEND; through prayer and financial donations! In this partnership we are both fulfilling our part! I ask you to please consider partnering with what the Lord is doing! Amen! Through intense fasting and prayer, I believe that the Lord has asked me to serve the nation of Australia full-time. This doesn’t mean that my time in America is done; we will absolutely work in America as well. However, for now, I am a missionary to Australia and the Pacific. I believe that the Lord has asked me to trust Him for my salary and let Him provide all that this work requires. “In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who Proclaim the gospel should get their living By the gospel.” – 1 Corinthians 9:14 “The elders who lead well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, ‘You shall not muzzle the ox while it is threshing,’ and ‘The laborer is worthy of his wages.’” - 1 Timothy 5:17-18 I felt the Lord give me an image of 50/50. Meaning 50 People and just $50 Per Month. In full transparency, my monthly minimum costs are: $800 for rent $100 for cell phone payment $150 for car insurance $500 all utilities combined $800 groceries and markets Totaling $2,450 50 people donating $50 per month would cover $2,500 monthly costs! I ask that you may please prayerfully consider partnering with what the Lord is doing! Together we can see a great harvest for the Kingdom, in Australia and the nations! Amen! “Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few, therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.’”- Matthew 9:37-38 Donate

MISSIONARY Ezra & Hadleigh Lopez DONATE Our names are Ezra and Hadleigh Lopez and we are missionaries with Circuit Riders in Huntington Beach, CA. After getting saved as high schoolers, both of us knew that we had a missional calling on our lives and we decided to join Circuit Riders. That was 5 years ago and we haven’t looked back since!! As Circuit Riders, our purpose is to carry the love of Jesus to our generation! We run quarterly training schools with the goal of equipping young people with the tools needed to reach the world with the gospel. We also travel across the United States and the world to university and high school campuses to present the gospel, equip students, and reach the lost with the love of Jesus. Circuit Riders is a grassroots movement and a missional community focused on saving the lost, reviving the saved, and training them all to fulfill the great commission. We love Jesus and we want to see our generation totally set on fire for Him, no matter the cost. May He receive the reward of His suffering in our generation! Our hearts share the Father’s burden to see every one of His lost children return home to his extravagant love. No matter the cost, we want to see the Great Commission fulfilled! We want to see every soul, every nation know the love of Jesus! Nothing compares to knowing Him! Ezra & Hadleigh Donate

Missionary Addie Hamby DONATE Hello! My name is Addison Hamby born and raised in Arkansas! About 3 years ago, the Lord asked me to take the biggest leap of faith I had ever taken in my life. He asked me if I would be willing to leave my whole life here behind and to GO to the ends of the earth for the sake of the Gospel. I gave Him a simple YES…that’s all it took for Him to make it all happen. So I did a Discipleship Training School (DTS) through YWAM and quickly fell in love with missions. My desire deepened to know God and to make Him known. So this desire to know God’s character and nature brought me to do a 3 month Bible school (DBS) in Nepal. Living in Nepal, I realized that there were MANY people who had little to no Bible access. God broke my heart for what broke His and this sparked a fire in my heart to see this change. Recently, God spoke to me through a dream showing me that I would go to every nation in the Middle East and North Africa and bring Bibles to people groups who have none written in their own mother tongue. God opened the perfect door to work with YWAM Oral Mother Tongue (OMT) translation in Pokhara, Nepal. I will be going alongside a team to villages in the Himalayas to recruit translators and release waves of audio-recorded Bibles. With this method, it only takes around 13 months to complete an audio-Bible compared to other methods that take 20-50 years to complete. But it’s not just about completing a translation, it's about the impact that it makes when people hear the Word of God being spoken out. The Bible becomes personal because it’s in their own mother tongue. The long-term vision is to eventually be able to pioneer OMT to the Middle East and North Africa where it has not yet beenreached. Thank you so much for your support financially and through prayer, it means the world to me! Addison Donate

Missionary Rachel McGovern DONATE Hi! My name is Rachel McGovern, I’m 21 years old and from Alaska :) I’m currently a part of YWAM (Youth With A Mission) whose vision is to know God and to make God known. I’m enrolled to start a 3 month Bible school in April with YWAM Amsterdam, followed by an outreach to the nations. My calling from the Lord is to see my generation fall in love with Jesus and be marked as a generation of joy and boldness not addiction and fear. To help steward this vision, God has called me into a season of studying and immersing myself in his Word. During my time in Amsterdam I’ll also be asking God for direction on what’s next. God has been so faithful to provide for me as I’ve been taking these steps of faith into ministry. I’ve been so encouraged by the generosity of the body of Christ, which enabled me to do a training school with YWAM Kona and to go spread the gospel in South Africa last year. Now I’m trusting God for this next season of ministry for provision. Donations are amazing and help make this possible, but more-so I ask for the covering of prayer- “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world” Ephesians 6:12. Thank you for joining me on this journey and calling God has placed on my life! Here’s a special verse on my heart for this season- “I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. I praise you, O Lord; teach me your decrees. I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. I will delight in your decrees and not forget your word.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭11,15-16 Rachel Donate

Missionary Emmanuel Peter DONATE I am MoI'm Emmanuel Peter from South Sudan and I'm a missionary leading a Youth With A Mission (YWAM) worship team. I am also doing evangelism, singing, teaching as well, because this what we have been called to do. And Jesus said to the disciples to pray for one another because there is power in prayers for unity. So I would like to invite you to support me with prayers and whatever God puts in to your heart to give. May God bless you more! Emmanuel Donate

Missionary John Fischer DONATE Hello everyone! My name is John Fischer and I am a full-time missionary. I work with an organization called Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and I have been serving with them since 2018. I come from a small cowboy town in Montana but God has taken me all round the world! It has been a complete joy spending these last years sharing the love of God with many different people from many different cultures, tribes, languages, skin colors, religions, and walks of life and I look forward to many more years to come. I currently serve with a ministry within YWAM called Island Breeze(IB). Founded in 1979 on a small South Pacific island, Island Breeze is a traveling evangelistic performing arts team that uses Polynesian song and dance as medium to share the Gospel. We perform in high schools, elementary schools, kindergartens, universities, hospital rooms, elderly homes, churches, living rooms, parks, and community centers all around the world. Essentially if there’s space to dance, provided the opportunity, we will. I’ve been serving and playing music with IB since 2023 and have seen God move and change peoples lives forever countless times through this ministry. But nothing is free, especially plane tickets:) My goal every year is to raise $20,000 to cover flights, ground fees, boat tickets, and other travel costs. I’m also in need of monthly support for everyday life: • Rent • Food • Phone • Health/ travel insurance • Etc. God has been faithful through the years and I’m grateful for how He has provided! Thank you for considering partnering with me! Blessings! John Donate

Sneha Shetty DONATE Friends and Family, Two years ago, God gently but decisively interrupted my life in a way I never expected, yet in a way He had been preparing long before I could see it. With a deep hunger to truly know God, I joined DTS with Fire and Fragrance North India in New Delhi. Those months marked me forever. The Lord met me in a personal and powerful way, healed broken places in my heart, anchored me deeply in my identity as His daughter, and awakened His heart for the nations within me. DTS was not just a program. It was a turning point where God made the direction and purpose of my life unmistakably clear. A Calling Bigger Than Me I come from a family where no one before me has stepped into missions. By God’s grace, I am the first missionary in my entire generation. Saying yes to this calling was not easy. It meant stepping into uncertainty, letting go of comfort, and trusting God without having all the answers. But His voice was clear. Once He called me, I knew I could not turn back. After DTS, the Lord invited me to stay and serve as staff with Fire and Fragrance North India. As I began discipling young people and walking closely with Gen Z, God began shaping something deeper in my heart. What started as a calling for India expanded into a burden for the nations. God has been forming in me a long-term vision to raise disciples who know who they are in Christ and live surrendered lives wherever God sends them. Looking Ahead: The Next 3–5 Years As I continue serving, God has been giving me increasing clarity for the years ahead. I sense Him calling me to: • Continue discipling and raising young leaders who are rooted in intimacy, identity, and obedience • Equip young people to live as missionaries in their everyday lives, in India and among the nations • Build strong discipleship foundations that multiply across cultures and borders • Serve among hard and unreached people groups, especially within Muslim communities During this season, God placed a specific and persistent burden on my heart for Afghanistan and other unreached Muslim contexts. How Africa Shaped My Heart God deeply shaped this calling during my time in Africa, where I lived among Somali people. As I listened to their stories, shared daily life with them, and learned their culture, my heart was deeply moved. I encountered people living under fear and spiritual blindness, yet deeply loved by God. Through these relationships, I began to feel God’s compassion for Muslim communities in a new way. I sensed His longing for people who have never known Jesus as a loving Father. This season ignited a deep desire in me to see sons and daughters encounter truth, freedom, healing, and identity in Christ. Vision for Afghanistan During my DTS, while praying in the prayer room and asking God, “Where do You want to send me? What do You want me to do?”, I was singing a song that said, “Put me anywhere, let Your glory be seen in me.” In that moment, I saw a vision of the map of Afghanistan. I saw many Muslim men and women looking toward me, and from that day on, I began praying regularly and intentionally for Afghanistan. Later, during my time in Africa, I had a dream. I saw myself in Afghanistan among Muslims . People were passing by, and I noticed a woman wearing a burqa standing at a distance, looking directly into my eyes. I sensed deep pain, sorrow, and silence in her. She felt voiceless, as if she wanted to speak but could not. A week later, the dream continued. This time, she held my hand and tried to communicate without words. Through these encounters, God did something profound in my heart. He placed a deep love within me for the people of Afghanistan, especially for voiceless women, and a conviction that this nation is part of my future calling. It has now been two years of serving as a missionary in India, and I am prayerfully preparing to pioneer ministry in Afghanistan in the coming years. I am expectant for what God will do. He loves the people of Afghanistan deeply, and He has entrusted that love to me. I believe God is raising a generation that will not just attend church, but will carry His presence wherever they go. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…” — Acts 1:8 Prayer Points • Deep intimacy with God, humility, and lifelong obedience • Wisdom, grace, and discernment as I disciple and lead young people • Open doors among Muslim communities, including Afghan youth and women • Favor and breakthrough for visas, permits, and legal processes • Provision for international and regional flight tickets • Faithful monthly partners and consistent financial provision • Protection, peace, and spiritual authority in travel and ministry • Fruit that remains in the lives of the young people and communities I serve Why Monthly Partnership Matters I cannot walk this calling alone. I am fully dependent on God and on the partnership of people who believe in what He is doing. To continue in this calling, I am trusting God to raise $3,000 USD per month in faithful support. This will help cover: • National and international travel for ministry • Visa processes and flight tickets • Housing and living expenses • Food, phone, and daily ministry costs • Discipleship gatherings and outreach expenses • Training and staff fees to equip and send out local believers • Language learning (Arabic classes) to serve effectively in Muslim contexts More than finances, I deeply need your prayers, encouragement, and partnership. Thank you for standing with me, believing with me, and walking alongside me as I follow God’s call with faith and obedience. With gratitude and faith, Sneha Donate
