FINLAND I am Heather Wray. I am going to be AIMing to Finland and join brother and sister Alphin. I have been on a few different short mission trips to Ireland, Hawaii, and Philippines. After dreams from God and a lot of prayer this is where I feel God wants me. I would appreciate any support anyone can give me to help me go make a difference and tell people about Jesus.

Hello :) My Name is Holy Gatica-Cortes, I am a 22 year old and this coming year I will be going to Belize for 5 months and approximately 6 months in Brazil. My first senior camp was 2019 and on the last night they asked for people to separate into groups. One by one they asked if people felt a calling for being a pastor, or starting a P7 club, etc. Then they called for those who felt a calling to go into the missions field. At the young at of 15 I felt a spark within my soul, a tug in my heart that I had never felt before. In January of 2020, I filled out an AYC trip application to Brazil, and in March Covid stopped the entire world. I thought maybe it wasn’t for me. Maybe God made a mistake. As the years went by I let doubt and fear stop me from listening and doing to what God wanted me to do. During the livestream of General conference 2024, I was in my room watching the livestream. As I was listening to the preaching, I just started to cry. I had felt God talk to me to take a step and he will do the rest. Altercall started and they asked that those who God has called to go out into the harvest, just to take the first step, pray and let God do what he wants to do. So I closed my eyes and God just confirmed his will in my life. I couldn’t play it off anymore. This was it. I had to stop thinking I wasn’t ready or that I couldn’t do it. So I finally decided to go but instead of doing a trip for two weeks. I felt to really surrender, so I will be going for 5 months with Missionaries The Becerras and in May I will be going with the Andersons for 6 months I don’t have much to give, but I will serve with everything that God has given me. My talents, prayers, and love. You might not have much to give, but anything will be a blessing to me and help me go to Belize/Brazil and answer the Call. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you! God bless <3

Hello! We are Abigail and Igor Howard, and we are excited to share that God has opened the door for us to serve as Associates in Missions (AIM) missionaries in Portugal for 12 months. As AIMers, we will have the opportunity to serve alongside local churches and ministry teams, building relationships, discipling believers, evangelizing, and supporting the work of the Kingdom throughout Portugal. Our desire is simple: to be the hands and feet of Jesus and help reach people with the hope of the Gospel. We firmly believe that missions is a team effort. While we may be the ones going, every person who prays, gives, and supports becomes a part of the ministry happening on the field. Thank you for considering partnering with us. Your generosity will help us answer God’s call and bring hope, discipleship, and the love of Christ to Portugal. “How will they hear without someone preaching to them?” — Romans 10:14 With gratitude, Abigail & Igor Howard

Nago, Okinawa Praise the Lord, everyone! My name is Jaida. I grew up in the Republic of Georgia before moving back to the U.S., and even from a young age, I felt a special pull toward missions. At age 12, God began to stir my heart for Japan, specifically its more rural and local areas. In the summer of 2025, I was blessed to go on an AYC trip that completely confirmed what God had been preparing in my spirit: the next step is to AIM. This coming August 2026, I will be heading to Okinawa, Japan, to serve under the Panton family at Tree of Life Christian School and their local church. I’ll be helping with the A.C.E. program, music, outreach, and wherever God opens the door to serve. I’m so thankful and humbled that God would choose me for this next season. By partnering in prayer and giving, you aren’t just supporting one person, you’re helping reach hearts in Japan and building the Kingdom in a world that deeply needs His light.

SPAIN. We recently got married in March and immediately felt God leading us to be equipped for the future He has planned for us. We felt like the Rodenbush Global Training Center was a great opportunity to be equipped in Barcelona, and are excited to serve in many different capacities. We will also be going to another country for 2 weeks to serve with the representatives there. We both attended Next Steps in Madagascar and New Zealand, and we are excited for what God has planned.

Chase Family | Japan Hello! We are James and Janett Chase and we are excited to begin serving in the nation of Japan this summer! We will be based in the city of Fukuoka (Japan's 6th largest city!) serving under Missionaries Les and Laura Clevenger. We are excited to join the team in Japan and partner with the vision God has for this nation. Japan is a nation of 122 million souls and less than 2% are currently Christian. There is a great harvest in Japan and we are looking forward to sharing God's love, hope and truth with the Japanese people. As we await our visas and departure date, we are also praying to complete our funding for our upcoming term before departure. You can still be a part of this journey by giving a one time donation or signing up for monthly giving. By doing so, you will be contributing to our: Transportation Fund, Language Study Fund and Housing Fund. We have appreciated all the support, encouragement and love during this exciting season and we thank you for your prayers and investment in God's kingdom globally! But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8

One of the last things my husband told me before he passed away in April 2024 was, "Janice, if you are given an opportunity to go, GO!" So, Scotland, here I come! Missions, home and foreign, has always been a part of my life. Recently I learned of a need at Harvest Bible School in Glasgow and I knew immediately that this was an open door. I am excited to be leaving in April and will spend almost 4 months being a blessing in any way that I can, to the staff and students there. I am so grateful for this opportunity and appreciate any support you may be able to offer through prayers or donations. Thank you so much in advance.

In Österreich wie im Himmel In Austria as it is in Heaven Praise the Lord! My name is Jessica McClellan and I’m delighted to share that I’ve been approved to serve as an AIMer for two months this year in Austria. Austria is a German-speaking country located in the Alpine region in Central Europe, bordering eight countries including Germany and Italy. Roughly the size of the state of Maine, it is home to over 9 million people and a small handful of UPC churches and works throughout the country. In this appointment, I will be working with missionaries Rev. James & Sis. Harmony Pace and missions groups from two established local churches. Our mission is: to grow the Kingdom across Austria to plant and grow churches in the target cities Linz & Salzburg and perchance other cities with little to no made contacts to reach out to people who are desperate & searching for something more in their lives overall, to make Jesus, His Gospel, Truth, & salvation in His mighty name known to the lost souls of this country It’s been 10 years since I received a burden and calling for global missions shortly after singing and ministering with my church’s choir to a Russian-speaking church in my home state of Oregon. And over those years of learning more and more about that burden and calling by seeking and feeling after God about His will for my life, I never ever thought, dreamed, or imagined that Austria would be in the picture. Like, ever. I’m not entirely sure what all will happen in two months alone, but my hope and prayer is God’s kingdom come and His will be done in Austria as it is in Heaven—while I’m there and after I return home. Thanks a million in advance for your prayers and support. It all means more than you’ll ever know. God bless & thanks for stopping by!

Seville, Spain Hello! Thank you so much for stopping by. We’re Joseph and Lindsay Preciado, and along with our three children, we’re honored to be serving as Associates In Missions (AIM) under Missionaries Sam and Kristen Zenobia in Seville, Spain. God has placed a burden on our hearts for Spain and the people of Andalusia. Our desire is simple: to share the hope of Jesus, make disciples, strengthen the local church, and help reach communities that still need the Gospel. As we begin this new season, we’ll be serving wherever we’re needed: building relationships, teaching in home Bible studies, helping with community outreach, supporting the local church, and investing in people however we can. We would be honored if you would partner with us through your prayers as we prepare and go. If you feel led, we also invite you to partner with us financially as we answer God’s call.

Joseph Spalding - BENIN Bonjour mes amis! I’m excited to share that I’ve been given the opportunity to serve for six months in Benin, West Africa, through the UPCI AIM program. This is not my first step into missions—God has already opened doors for me to go on two AYC trips, as well as a short-term trip to Benin earlier this year. Each experience has deepened my burden for missions and confirmed my calling to serve. This upcoming trip is my biggest step yet. I’ll be working alongside missionaries in Benin, helping with outreach, local ministry, and spreading the Gospel. To make this possible, I need to raise $15,000 to cover travel, housing, and ministry expenses. I would be so grateful for your prayers and support. Every gift, no matter the amount, helps me follow God’s call and invest in lives for eternity. Donations can be given through: https://fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/gmSTM/JosephSpalding Thank you for standing with me in prayer and support as I take this next step in God’s plan. By His hand, Joseph Spalding

Spain -- Josh & Jeannette Aguilera This summer, my wife and I have been given an incredible opportunity to serve in the missions field across Spain, Andorra, and other parts of Europe through the RKR Missions program. We’ll be working with local churches, student ministries, and small groups, all while continuing our own training in missions and taking a Spanish language study course. Missions has always been on our hearts, and we feel a deep, God-given burden to love and serve people beyond borders. This trip isn’t just a chance to travel — it’s a calling we are answering, a way to grow, give, and be used by God to encourage others in their walk with Him. We believe that every soul matters, and we’re stepping out in faith to be part of something much bigger than ourselves. To make this journey possible, we are raising $12,400 to cover all travel, housing, food, and transportation expenses. Our goal is to raise the full amount by June 1st. If you feel led to give, pray, or simply share our fundraiser, we would be incredibly grateful. Thank you for partnering with us to take the Gospel to the nations.

Our quest is to obediently pursue God by applying our learned skills, abilities and passions into everything we do and to share the truth of who God is to all His people, both near and far. As the first church is revived we will see miracles, signs & wonders in His name. To God be all glory, honor, power & praise.

CYPRUS - Returning to answer the call I am deeply humbled to share with you how the Lord has been directing my steps. In January 2025, I had the privilege of serving in Cyprus for three months alongside the Summers family and the Pentecostals of Cyprus. During this season, God opened many doors for ministry. I wrote lessons and taught Adult Sunday School on a weekly basis, led online devotions, and gathered a small group of Cypriots on a weekly basis for worship and Bible study. To God be the glory—three received the gift of the Holy Ghost and two were baptized in Jesus’ Name. That group is attending the church in Larnaca. The Lord also allowed me to build lasting friendships in my village—sharing life, learning their culture, and offering Biblical truth whenever the opportunity arose. Many hearts were touched, and I continue to encourage and pray with them while here in Canada. I also joined in prayer walks, helped disciple new believers, and assisted wherever there was a need. Through it all, God clearly confirmed His call for me to return to Cyprus. In obedience, I am preparing to go back in 2026, once again partnering with the Summers family and the Pentecostals of Cyprus. As I take this step of faith, I would be so grateful for your continued support, both in prayer and through financial partnership. Your one-time or monthly gift will make a real impact in advancing the Gospel and reaching souls in Cyprus. Thank you for standing with me in this harvest. Together, we are fulfilling the Great Commission and seeing lives transformed by Jesus Christ.

SWEDEN I have been living in Sweden for 18 years and during that time have started a church in Falun and also pastored in Stockholm for 7 years. My goal is to raise travel & living expenses for the upcoming year. This will allow me to evangelize around Sweden and hopefully start new preaching points as well. We are having amazing things happen with our local congregation. Currently we are able to start renovations on a new church location and hope to be in it by Feb/March 2025. Thank you for your prayers and support in giving to the work in Sweden!!

Belize - January ‘26 Hello! I am thrilled to go back to beautiful Belize on a three month AIM term. I will be working under Missionaries Bro. and Sis. Becerra and their three children.

Also, helping with MKs when needed.

God bless!

GABON Acts 16: 9 During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them...Gabon is our harvest field. Over 3 million souls who need to hear about and experience Jesus Christ. The Kenzou family served for over 8 years in their local church in the Quebec District (Canada) as Senior Pastor. Seeing many souls baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and filled with the wonderful gift of the Holy Spirit, they are leaving a healthy and growing church to pursue God's calling. Since the beginning of their ministry, they have felt God's call to the foreign mission field of Gabon. After searching, waiting and preparing, God spoke to them and directed them with their three sons Emmanuel (5), Nathanaël (3) and Rolh-Élie (1) to the nation of Gabon where they spent 3 months teaching and preaching in national churches, leading home Bible studies and prayer meetings, working with the local pastor and assigned missionary. Following the leading of the Holy Spirit, they have the burden to continue on the ground for the glory of the Lord in Gabon. We thank you for your prayers and support. The Kenzou family.

GERMANY! Hi, my name is Klara and I have been accepted to a 3 month long AIM trip to the wonderful country of Germany this fall! From the age of five I have had a heart for missions but that dream seemed so out of reach. However, in 2022 I was able to attend an AYC trip to Bangladesh that changed my life. During a church service, it was there on a dusty red carpet in a building with no A/C that God called me to Germany. Since then I have been taking steps toward following the call of God on my life and it has been a journey full of blessings, and growth. I would be endlessly grateful to have YOU partner with me to reach people in Germany, so that they might also find and fall in love with Jesus. I can’t wait to see where God is going to take me in this season, and whether through giving or supporting with prayer, I appreciate and welcome all help with open arms!

Türkiye Praise the Lord, we are Kris and Robin Tapia. Our home church is FPC Jackson, MS. We have been traveling to the country of Turkey since 2016, assisting in the ministry there under Bro.

Join Us in Bringing Hope to Croatia In 2026, we are embarking as AIMers on a year-long missions trip to Croatia, where we'll be sharing the gospel with people who often feel lost and without direction. Croatia is a beautiful country with wonderful people, but many are searching for meaning and hope in their lives. We believe that through Christ, we can offer them the hope, love, and purpose they're seeking. Your financial support will help us cover living expenses, ministry materials, and outreach activities as we serve the first UPCI church in Croatia and the city of Zagreb. Would you consider partnering with us in this mission? Your donation, whether large or small, will directly impact lives and help us share the gospel with the Croatian people. Thank you for prayerfully considering supporting our ministry. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who need to hear about the hope we have in Jesus.
