Help Support My Missionary Journeys: YWAM Europe and Mexico

Hi friends, family, and beautiful strangers,

I'm excited to share that I’m about to embark on one of the biggest adventures of my life—a 6-month missionary journey with Youth With A Mission (YWAM)! YWAM is a missionary sending organization with branches all over the world. This discipleship track will take me backpacking through Europe, where I’ll be involved in community outreach, powerful prayer and street evangelism, and sharing the life-changing hope of Jesus Christ.

After graduating from the Embassy Supernatural School of Ministry through Joplin Family Worship Center, one of my biggest prayers has been to be a good steward of everything that has been sewn into me and apply it in a real way. Since then, God has put on my heart to do travel ministry. First, working at a kids / family summer camp in California (Mount Hermon), then to Mexico in October, and finally to Europe in January 2026- June 2026. This GoFundMe has all the information about these upcoming trips and how you can support or pray.

For the trip to Mexico, I get to go with one of my home churches (and ESSM classmates) to Querétaro, Mexico. With opportunities to minister in the streets, pray, worship, and speak like over people in recovery centers, sharing the love of God through service and worship in local schools, and community work. We also have the privilege to attend church services there... which is one of my favorite things. It's such a privilege to see all of God's people worshipping together and how each culture exemplifies a core value of God-- like it is written on their hearts. It's so beautiful and inspiring. For this trip, the total cost I am seeking to fundraise is $1,750, which includes: airfare, local transportation, meals, lodging, logistics, and ministry outreaches.

YWAM’s program is designed to equip young people like me to know God deeply and make Him known around the world. The first part of my journey will be focused on training in cross-cultural ministry and discipleship; the second part will be an outreach phase, where I’ll take flights, buses (and trails!) with a team, serving local communities, praying boldly for transformation, sparking worship in the streets, and bringing the message of hope to those who desperately need it.

Youth With A Mission has a heart for empowering the youth into higher ways with God and seeing them walk in their God-given call. Here is a small snippet from the vision given to founder Loren Cunningham that launched YWAM in 1956:

"From a late-night vision of waves of young people reaching every continent, given to a 20-year-old in the Bahamas, to a global ministry with over 20,000 workers, the growth of YWAM is the story of God’s inspiration, God’s grace for many mistakes, and the creativity of the Holy Spirit’s leading. "

I'm excited to answer this call of the "more" from God; stepping out of my comfort zone and allow myself to be stretched. I'm enthralled by this adventure because aside from reaching the "lost" cities, I also have the opportunity to evangelize in some of the largest populated cities across Europe. This excites me. I get to share joy and revelation with the people who "have it all figured out"-- just like I felt when I was still living for the world.

Youth With A Mission-- Paris, France is just one base of this amazing organization. YWAM officially established in 1960 and has been sending waves of missionaries to over 180 countries since. With more than 1,200 ministry locations, it is now considered one of the world's largest missionary training and sending organizations.
