Missionary Grayson Carley DONATE Hi! My name is Grayson Carley, working in missions through YWAM (Youth with a Mission) in Kailua-Kona Hawaii! Where I have been going through a 6 month Discipleship Training School where we learn how to live our lives centered on Christ and breaking off strongholds to walk in freedom. All while working towards the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16). To partner with God and save the lost. I completed my DTS (Discipleship Training School) in January of 2023, where God changed my life and where I truly learned what it meant to have a relationship with the Lord. During that time God really stirred my heart for missions work, specifically young adult ministry! So what's next for me!? I have applied and been accepted to commit 2 years to YWAM. I will be staffing their DTS, and in this capacity I will be able to mentor young women and help them to grow their relationship with the Lord. A part of being on staff is being able to lead outreach teams across the world! This will give me the opportunity to help students to dive deeper into their relationship with God and walking into their true calling. To my friends and family, I would love for you to prayerfully consider partnering in me in prayer and financially as God works in my life this next season! If you have any questions or would like to know more, my email is grayson.carley@uofnkona.edu Thank you for reading! God Bless! Grayson Carley Donate

Missionary Kaleah McCaskill DONATE My name is Kaleah McCaskill, I am 18, and I am completing my DTS (Discipleship Training School) with Circuit Riders in the fall of 2025. I grew up in the church, but never had a true relationship with God until I encountered Him at a youth camp in high school. Since then, I have yearned for everyone around me to truly experience the love of Jesus! Through these past couple of years, the Lord has opened my eyes to the people in my generation who are lost, hurting, and looking for something more. That is what drew me to go into ministry. I have a love for Christ that I want to share, so I am joining CR to learn, practice, and get equipped to better serve The Kingdom! The Circuit Riders Experience is based out of Huntington Beach, California and is a branch of Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Their mission is to train people on how to live a life for Christ and inspire our generation to share His love. Their main focus is reaching people on college campuses and high schools. We want to see world-wide revival. Circuit Riders wants to be a major part of this wave of evangelism and eventually see a youth on fire for God! I am absolutely elated to be a part of this ministry in the fall, and I feel truly blessed to have this opportunity to serve the Lord! I humbly ask for prayer as I head into this new season and I sincerely thank you for your financial support in my mission! My goal is to raise $15,000 for the 6-month discipleship training experience to cover school costs, living expenses, transportation, and food costs. Thank you sincerely for partnering with me! All the Love, Kaleah McCaskill Donate

Missionary Whitney Schindler DONATE Hey! My name is Whitney Schindler, I am a full time missionary currently based in Mazatlan Mexico! I am serving with Youth With a Mission, or YWAM for short! YWAM is an nonprofit organization dedicated to seek and save the lost which makes us passionate about the great commission and discipleship! YWAM follows the example Christ gave us through His ministry and has three major focuses: mercy ministries, evangelism, and discipleship! I first started with YWAM in 2021 when I did a discipleship school where I was trained for the mission field! I spent three months in Mexico out of the six month program and through that time God gripped my heart for the people of Mexico and called me to return after my training was over! Since then my heart has only grown for missions and to see people meet Jesus! God has called me to full time missions, and for the next two years I am committed to Mazatlan Mexico. I have seen God's faithfulness time and time again over the last two months of being here and I am expectant for what is to come! Would you prayerfully consider partnering with me? I am seeking support through finances and prayer to see the love of God and power of the gospel transform Mazatlan! Thank you! Whitney Donate

Missionary Thad Alexander DONATE Hi! My name is Thaddaeus Alexander I, and I’m a missionary born and raised in the small town of Sumner, Washington. Right now, I’m living and serving in Potchefstroom, South Africa, with a movement called Fire and Fragrance, a ministry under Youth With A Mission (YWAM). YWAM is a global missions organization focused on empowering people of all nations to know God and make Him known—and I’m incredibly honored to be part of that mission. My journey into missions isn’t something I stumbled into—it’s something God planted deep in my heart. Over time, through prayer and encounters with Him, the Lord gave me a clear and undeniable passion for Africa. Not just as a place to visit, but as a land I feel deeply connected to. I believe that my spiritual inheritance is in Africa—that God has called me to pour out my life in love and obedience here, and to see transformation in people’s lives through the power of Jesus Christ. I’ve recently stepped into a new and exciting role as DTS (Discipleship Training School) staff here in Potchefstroom. That means I get to spend the next several months walking closely with students from all over the world, helping them grow in their faith, deepen their intimacy with God, and step boldly into their calling. I’ll be part of teaching, mentoring, and discipling them during the three-month training phase—and then I’ll help lead outreach teams into the nations, where students will experience what it means to live out their faith and share the Gospel firsthand in some of the most spiritually hungry places on earth. Missions work is beautiful, but it also takes a community. I can’t do this alone. In order to continue doing what God has called me to do—living full-time on mission, discipling students, and reaching the nations—I’m looking to build a team of supporters who believe in this vision. I’m inviting people like you to partner with me—whether that’s through financial giving, regular prayer, or even just sharing my story with someone else who might be moved by it. Every prayer, every dollar, and every word of encouragement makes a difference—not just in my life, but in the lives of the people I’m reaching. Together, we can bring light to the darkest places and hope to the hopeless. Let’s help the nations know Jesus. Thank you for being a part of this story. Thad Donate

Missionary Caio Silva DONATE Hi friends! My name is Caio Silva, I'm from Brazil, but I am living in the United States working as a full-time missionary with YWAM Kona. I grew up in the church, but was truly encountered by the truth and power of the gospel when I was in my 20s. Since then, my heart has been marked for seeing young people encounter the real man person of Jesus, fall in love with Him and live a wholehearted life pursuing Him. I currently work for a ministry underneath YWAM Kona called Fire and Fragrance. We run six-month discipleship training schools where young people can come to know God deeper and make Him known in the nations of the earth. These 6 months are divided into two portions: a 3-month lecture phase and a 3-month outreach. I staff both of these portions, the first in Kona on the campus and then the second somewhere across the earth. Long term in ministry, though, my vision and goals are to see youth movements erupt across the earth - whether in communities in the states or hard, closed nations. I long to see this generation swept up in the beauty and glory of Jesus and am willing to partner with Him in any way He would ask of me. As this is my full-time job, I live off of the generosity and financial support of those around me! I do not get any sort of payment or paycheck. Raising monthly support is how I am able to stay doing what I am doing. I would be honored if you would prayerfully consider partnering with me in this area! Caio Donate

MISSIONARY Chandra & Tina DONATE My wife and I, along with our two children, have served successfully on a church planting team in Asia for ten years working in both rural and urban areas. We are both from South Asia and came to Christ before marriage, the first believers in their own families. We are returning to our home county in January 2019 to bring God’s word to the local people through evangelism and community service. We will be partnering with a local and international NGO to rescue children being trafficked into sex slavery. We are in need of monthly partners to support us financially in order for us to focus on full time ministry. If you would like to receive more information you can email us at ctforhim@gmail.com.

Missionary Hallie Seedorf DONATE My name is Hallie Seedorf, and I’m serving with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Harpenden, England as part of the Catalyst Discipleship Training School staff team. Over the past year, God has really grown my heart for discipleship, missions, and helping people know Him in a deeper way. YWAM has impacted my life deeply, and I’m grateful to now be in a place where I can pour into others as they grow in their own journey with God. As a DTS staff member, I get to help create a space where students can grow in their faith through worship, prayer, teaching, community, and outreach preparation. A lot of ministry happens in the everyday moments—conversations over coffee, praying with students, encouraging someone who is struggling, or simply doing life together. I love walking alongside people as they discover more of who God is and how He wants to use their lives. One of my favorite parts of this ministry is seeing people be transformed. DTS is about so much more than traveling or attending classes. It’s about learning to trust God, stepping out in faith, and growing in relationship with Him. Watching students gain confidence in who they are and develop a heart for the nations is something that continually inspires me. As part of serving with Catalyst DTS, I will also have opportunities to go to the nations alongside students as we share the love of Jesus and live out the Great Commission. Jesus calls His followers to “go and make disciples of all nations,” and I am passionate about being part of that mission. Whether through discipleship, evangelism, serving local communities, or supporting outreach teams, my desire is to help others encounter the hope and love of Christ and to equip students to do the same. I’m able to serve here in Harpenden, England because of the support and partnership of others. YWAM staff raise their own support, which means I depend on a team of people who believe in this ministry and want to be part of what God is doing through it. To serve full-time, I am trusting God to provide $1,700 per month , which helps cover my living expenses, ministry responsibilities, and travel costs as I serve both in England and in the nations. I would love for you to partner with me through prayer and financial support. Your partnership allows me to continue investing in students, serving the local community, and participating in the work God is doing around the world. Every prayer, encouragement, and financial gift plays a meaningful role in helping make this ministry possible. If you have any questions about YWAM, Catalyst DTS, my role on staff, or how you can be involved, I would love to connect with you. Please feel free to reach out to me—I’m always happy to share more about what God is doing and how you can be part of the journey. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering partnering with me in this mission. Hallie Donate

Missionary Hanna Gretchen Meyer DONATE Hi! I am Hanna Gretchen Meyer, I am 25 years old and was born and raised in Vryheid, KZN. I have a Bachelor of Education Degree and am now a full-time missionary with YWAM (Youth With A Mission), FFSA (Fire and Fragrance South Africa), Potchefstroom, South Africa! I am a part of a collaborative non-profit missions organization called Fire and Fragrance South Africa empowered by Youth With A Mission. We exist to catalyze and mobilize a generation to live radical, abandoned, wholehearted lives in order to see the great commission completed in our lifetime! To accomplish this mission it is our desire to train and send out individuals and communities into every sphere and nation of the earth to see Jesus name and fame be made known. I did my DTS (Discipleship Training School) and DBS (Discipleship Bible School) here in Potchefstroom, South Africa through Fire and Fragrance where my heart for missions stirred in me. My life was completely transformed to love Jesus with my whole heart and to see the need for His people to be met with his love. Currently, I am doing FIE (Foundations in Education) through the University of the Nations in Kona, Hawaii – and I can honestly testify of how God is reforming my whole perspective of education. Over the last couple of years, I know that I will be combining what I studied with missions throughout my future. My heart burns for children and raising them up in a solid foundation in both Christ and academics, whether it be teaching them or training up teachers to do it God’s way! This is my second year serving with YWAM as a full-time missionary, and I am only expectant for more! I have committed the next two years to serve our Education Ministry here on base. This ministry is twofold. Firstly, Education For Life, which is training and equipping teachers with knowledge, skills, and confidence to love children well from a biblical approach and to bring change and impact their school and classroom environments. Secondly, we are launching a Pre-Primary school, to bring quality biblical education and a safe Christ-centred environment for children for our Fire and Fragrance community and later for the broader Potch community as well. Both are unto the dream of establishing a model school as a training institute for Christian education, a place where teachers can come and receive training and then take what they learned and multiply it in their hometown or home nation. For me to run with this and serve God and our base well, I need partners both in prayer and financially. I would like to invite you to prayerfully consider partnering with me to see God’s plan for my life unfold, and to see Him bring training and reformation to the sphere of education! Thanks! - Hanna Donate
