Hi, my name is Ashton Cannelongo! I’m 20 years old, and this fall I’ll be stepping into a new season with Circuit Riders, a missions movement dedicated to reaching high school and college students with the Gospel.

My story is personal. I know what it’s like to walk through darkness, But I’ve experienced the hope and light of Christ that changes everything, and now I want to share that same hope with students who are battling loneliness, fear, anxiety, and searching for meaning.

So what will I be doing? I’ve been accepted into the Circuit Riders Discipleship Training School (DTS) a 6-month program that includes both training and outreach:

• Phase 1 (September–December): Three months in Huntington Beach, CA for full-time discipleship, training, and equipping.

• Phase 2 (January–March): Three months traveling with a team to high schools and universities across the U.S. and possibly other nations, preaching the Gospel, praying with students, and bringing the hope of Jesus to a generation in need.

Thanks to incredible generosity, I’ve already raised $5,900 of the $11,000 total cost. That money has gone directly to Circuit Riders for tuition and secured my spot in the school — praise God!

Now I’m working to raise the remaining $7000, which will cover both the rest of my outreach fees and my living expenses while serving full-time.

Here’s the breakdown:

Every prayer and every gift matters. By giving, you’re not just supporting me you’re helping send the Gospel to high schools and colleges, where so many students desperately need to know that they are not alone, that there is truth, and that there is real hope in Jesus.
