Missionary Reshma Nayar DONATE FAITH JOURNEY RESILIENCE IN ADVERSITY Hi, my name is Reshma Nayar. I was born in a Hindu family. My testimony involves significant challenges at a young age. I lost my father at the age of two. As a result, my mother became mentally ill, preventing her from being able to take care of my sister. Therefore, I grew up in many boarding schools. Despite these challenges, God intervened and saved me. IMPACT OF SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE I came to know about Jesus in one of the hostels my mother had put me in. They used to take us to Sunday church services where I learned to pray from a young age to Jesus. I became certain that He answers my prayers. It always gave me hope and a sense of purpose. DIVINE INTERVENTION From a very young age, I had always wanted to study and work in a US company. I am so very thankful that God faithfully put people in my life that helped provide financially that enabled me to obtain a good education. However, when I finished 10th grade, I was lost again because boarding schools don’t keep children upon completion of their 10th grade. So, I moved out and began working in a supermarket to earn money for rent and groceries. Finally, at what felt like rock bottom, I remembered that God answers our prayers so I prayed to God: “Let someone adopt me.” And then we met Shawn and Cherrie, members of the church we were attending. Through sharing my and my sister’s story, God opened a big door through them for me to study again. They agreed to help us with our studies and also grow in God. I thank God for this humble couple. And I praise God that He always faithfully provides for me! FAITH IN ACTION Through Shawn and Cherrie’s generosity and love, I graduated from college with good marks! I then returned to my dream of working for a US company. I applied at the one US company in my hometown in Goa. But, after I didn’t get a response from them, I found myself discouraged. However, at this time I disciplined myself with consistent Bible reading and spending time with God. I kept asking Him what He wanted me to do in my life. And as always, God is faithful to answer my prayers! Around this time, in December of 2023, I began hearing about a discipleshiptraining school (DTS). At the same time, I received a job acceptance at a Christian company. Both felt like God-opportunities! I had a hard time deciding between accepting this job and joining this DTS. However, after prayer I finally had peace to let go of the job and apply for this DTS. I didn’t have the finances to cover the school, but my heart was filled with unwavering faith in God's plan for my life. PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION I must say that after two months of attending this DTS, it has been the best decision of my life! I truly feel like God wanted this for me and I trust in Him for everything. I have seen how God has been at work in my own personal life in many ways such as becoming absolutely vulnerable to this community about my story and how God is changing my heart. I am now at a place where I am fully convinced that God’s will for my life is to go to the ends of the earth to share His love and make Him known! CALL TO ACTION I have heard and received the missionary call of God. I now feel desperate to share God’s salvation invitation and my testimony to each and every individual I meet! We have discussed the financial situation of such a missionary calling in our school. I will not receive a typical job salary for this kind of work, but rather I am to live by faith in God’s abundant provision through His Church. I am now beginning this first ministry work of building a team who will pray and give financial support towards my missional journey with the Father. I want to invite you to invest in me and the Kingdom of God. Your support will enable me to share the love of God and spread the Gospel to the nations. GRATITUDE I really want to thank God for always providing me with everything I need. I want to express my gratitude to you for even just taking the time and reading this letter. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers. I want to acknowledge that I cannot fulfill this mission alone. I’m thankful God has revealed His heart and vision for the world with me. God wants to see His kingdom come fully throughout the earth and that only can happen when people like me and many others who are willing to give up a “regular life” and go wherever He calls us to go to fulfill God’s great commission by going and preaching the Gospel. Thank you for prayerfully considering partnering with this great work I get to be a part of! Thank you and God bless you. Reshma Donate

Missionary Kayla Baumann DONATE Hello! My name is Kayla Baumann. Since I was a kid, I wanted to be a missionary. I have been in full-time ministry since 2009, aside from a few years between 2015-2017 and 2019-2020 during which I was still in ministry every summer. From 2020-2024 I was on staff with YWAM Philadelphia. That was the one thing I never expected. To be called to the city I grew up in. Currently, I believe God is asking me to pioneer another YWAM base. I am in the beginning stages of this and reaching out to other leaders and elders in YWAM for wisdom and guidance as I take steps towards obeying this assignment and learning what this might look like. The world is coming to Philadelphia. Tourists, immigrants, students, and more. We have the awesome ability to reach people for Christ from around the world without leaving our city! My heart’s passion is to enable and support people to fulfill their God-given destiny. To lead and serve in such a way that others can follow God’s call on their lives. It’s to inspire and encourage young believers to discover their identity and pursue their God-given destiny. These things make me feel alive and I know I am doing what I was created to do. Part of the way I feel called to do this is to help churches and ministries in the city to be able to support each other so we can better work together in accomplishing the great commission. I'm working with my pastors and a few others in the congregation to form a missions team so we can do consistent outreaches in the neighborhood. We want to provide training and opportunities for those who want to learn and practice a more missional lifestyle as well as connect people who already are living one. I work with the youth group at my church, serve on the women’s ministry team, co-lead the welcome team, and serve every Tuesday with another church in the city as they run a food distribution and outreach. I also feel called to write Christian Fiction that shows how a person's faith can impact his or her daily decisions and what it's like to live out your calling, whether you want it or not. I have self-published four fiction books and worked with other authors on a self-published devotional. I am currently working on a Christian fantasy novel. Ministry is hard... and we can easily feel isolated. But we weren't meant to do this alone. We need each other. In order to fulfill God's call on my life, I need to work with a team of people who want to be a part of all He is doing in this city and through my life, both through prayer and financial support. Would you consider investing in the Kingdom by joining this team? All gifts through Equipnet are tax deductible. If you have any questions about my ministry or would like to know how you can be praying, please reach out to me at: kaylasadventuresinmissions@gmail.com The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.

MISSIONARY Marvin Reif DONATE The Lord called me into ministry at an early age, and I have dedicated my life to sharing and teaching the gospel of the Good News with others, encouraging and building up the body of Christ, and sharing the love of Jesus with the lost. I join the Lord, investing in the lives of others, seeing each person as precious and valuable. Making myself available to all the Lord brings my way, I get to see the Lord at work and turn dust into gold! God does the great thing out of the little thing, and one person’s life is a very big thing! It is such a joy to see lives saved and transformed through the revelation and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and to grow in the truth and love of the Lord. I love the Lord and His word, and really enjoy teaching, encouraging, discipling, and praying for those I’m ministering with.

Missionary Megan Whaley DONATE Hi, I’m Megan I was radically met and saved by Jesus at 18 years old when He called me out of a drug addiction that had my life spiraling out of control. I was transformed by His love from the inside out and have never experienced love and freedom like I have in Him. I knew that I couldn’t keep quiet and I had to share this love with others, and I felt the Lord leading me to YWAM where I’d go on my first missions trip. Shortly after that trip, I was so compelled to share His love more on a discipleship level, so I became DTS (Discipleship Training School) staff and I have been a part of DTS staff for almost 2 years.

Missionary Kayla Elenniss DONATE Hello everyone! My name is Kayla Elenniss and I am a missionary serving with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). When I was 16 years old I met the Lord during my time at Teen Challenge. I had no idea that since that day the Lord would be leading me to missions. In April of 2023 the Lord brought me to YWAM Kona to do a DTS where He showed me His heart for the unreached and the lost. After completing DTS, God highlighted a school to me called Revival & Reformation where I dove into the Bible, learned about worldview and the spheres of society, uncovered apologetics, but most importantly, God showed me His heart for those impacted by injustice all over the world, specifically the lives affected by human trafficking. I will be continuing my time with YWAM to staff, where I will be leading individuals with a heart for tackling injustice, into the world to not just spread the Gospel in every place it's needed, but to also respond to these injustices using biblical solutions. It's an honor to be a part of the great commission and I hope you can partner with me to do so both prayerfully and financially. Whether you're regularly interceding, giving monthly, or giving one time I'd appreciate it all. Thank you, Kayla Kelenniss16@gmail.com Donate

MISSIONARY Travis Trupe DONATE I am currently serving with YWAM (Youth with a Mission) teaching/training agricultural missions and sustainable development. God has laid the Philippines, India, Costa Rica, Zambia, and Malawi on my heart. In just two years we have seen almost 50,000 people come to Christ; served with evangelistic campaigns and feeding programs. We’ve taught local farmers more efficient methods, as well as distributed Bibles and water filters. God is not slow to His promises and He is still at work. We, as the body of Christ, must also be engaged. Thank you all for partnering with me on this journey! Donate

Missionary Kiana Tinnel DONATE Hi Y’all! My name is Kiana Tinnel, this coming fall I will be a part of an amazing missions organization called YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in the Orlando, Florida location for 6 months. Pursuing Missions has been a huge desire of mine ever since I understood the meaning of the Gospel and I felt the Lord leading me to go to the YWAM Orlando location. With YWAM, I will be starting my first three months in Orlando, engaging in the Discipleship Training School to learn more about God’s word, planning and leading ministries and developing our skills in what we learn. The final three months will be the outreach where we will go share the Gospel, equip the local churches, and help them meet practical needs. When I realized the raw yet beautiful reality of the Gospel everything changed. My heart ached for those who have never heard it or don’t know who Jesus even is. Jesus broke my heart for what breaks His and my love for Him transformed the way I love the people around me and for those who are far in distance from me. When you love Jesus, you truly will begin to love His people. I heard more in-depth about Youth With A Mission through some of my close God-fearing friends and I began to really seek the Lord on it and gave Him my yes. I am surrendering some time away from college because I know that I will see lives will be transformed and the lost become saved. Would you consider in praying and financially partnering with me in seeing the next generation saved until there is no place left? Kiana Donate
