River Valley 500. We are currently in a transition phase to move from Brazil to England and live there with YWAM full time. During this period we are working with YWAM to do an online English and culture class. Leticia just finished the class and Colin was a staff member, and in January we will both be staffing the school. The school teaches English and gives people a place to practice and learn free of judgment, while also teaching them about the differences in cultures and how different cultures show different aspects of God's character.
First Mission
I went to many short term missions as a child, however when I was 21 I went to England to be with Youth with a Mission (YWAM) for 8 months. During this time God not only healed my depression and anxiety, He also renewed my identity to how He saw me, not how others saw me.
Becoming a Missionary
During my Discipleship Training School (DTS) with YWAM, we spent 3 months of theory and learning who God is, and then 3 months of practical showing God to others. I was so changed and impacted that I wanted to continue serving in missions and helping others have that same experience of God's love that I did.

85-95 percent of Thai people are Buddhist while maybe 5-10 percent are practicing Islam. Thai Christ followers make up only 1%. Missionaries in the area have started a prayer movement called Change The Map in hopes of gaining a more defined prayer audience that will make a significant impact on the number of converts in Southeast Asia.

One in five Gen Z adults now identify as LGBTQ+ while that number for other generations of adults (Boomers, Gen X, even Millennials) has remained the same - showing the impact that the woke media is having on our younger generation. Also, nearly 50% of students are now non-religious, one of the fastest growing demographics on our college campuses. The Secular Student Alliance (actually being promoted by some schools) is a growing organization on our campuses.

Genoa is approximately 1/2 million people with less than 2% recognizing Jesus as Savior of their lives. Italy is home to an estimated 105 documented people groups, 23 of which are considered unreached people groups. Genoa is a port city and an International hub. AGWM has never had a missionary in this city and we are excited to be the first.

Malaga is a city of over 650,000 people. It is a fast-growing, international hot spot in Europe. Located in the southern region of Andalusia, this city is known for its rich foods, deep traditions, and complex history. From 2016 until today, Malaga ranks third behind Madrid and Barcelona, as a top destination for international business in Spain. The people of Malaga have a great love for life and family. Sadly, they have a long history filled with heartache and loss. The spiritual awakening of the reformation that touched much of Europe in the 1500s has not yet found its way there. People are looking for hope. In this highly secularized city, many have never heard of the loving Savior and have never witnessed a vibrant, Spirit-filled church. We know that a life-giving, community of faith that chooses to authentically and compassionately love those around them, will be an undeniable light in the darkness and a beacon of hope for the hopeless.

The Kenyons are missionaries to the Youth Culture of Panama and present the gospel to students in the high schools of Panama City. They are launching a Youth Church that will establish a model to other churches in Panama of how to incorporate the emerging generation into their community without requiring them to meet an unstated list of rules and regulations in order to enter the premises or participate in the church community. This church will also provide a place where Panamanian students can retreat to feel safe, valued, and heard…a REFUGE. This REFUGE will house and rehabilitate abused girls within the context of the church.

We serve the nearly 1500 MKs living in almost 200 countries, territories and provinces around the globe. One of the leading causes for missionary families to leave the field is because of concerns or needs of their kids. Our goal is to serve MKs and their parents so they can continue in long-term ministry even in difficult and hostile environments. MKs face the same challenges that their non-MK counterparts face. The difficulty for many is the added pressure of constant cultural change and adjustment.
