Care Zacharias - Our Local Full Time Missionary
A LETTER FROM CARE:
WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO?
We just finished our Summit Conference 2024. What a powerful time! I’ll be chewing on this for quite a while, if not forever.
Every Saturday, we reach kids in the slums. From 4pm until 5pm, we hang out with them, teach them worship songs, teaching
them English with the principles in the Bible.
God has been stirring something in my heart involving kids ministry and that is to write and release songs for kids. Thank you Jesus for wisdom!
UPCOMING MISSIONS TRIP:
I will be joining Victory Worship Band going to India this upcoming November 4th to teach at Pastor Joseph’s Bible College. We will be there for 2 weeks to teach about worship. I will also be joining the band going to Malaysia, this will also be for two weeks (we don’t have a specific date yet, we’re in the process of it) to minister with the youth and worship team in local churches as well. We're committed to building the local church, to mentoring musicians and worshipers so our local churches can have a greater impact in our communities. We’re gonna declare loud and clear that Jesus is alive!
WHAT I’M BELIEVING FOR:
1. Flight and costs for India missions trip : Flight is around $500, cost of food and accommodation is about $300.
2. Flight and costs for Malaysia missions trip: Flight is about $300, cost of food and accommodation is about $300.
Thank you again for your prayers and investment in the nations. There are still so many more precious souls to hear the saving grace of Jesus.
As we step forward in faith, embracing new frontiers and fulfilling the dreams God has planted in our hearts - together we are a powerful force for the Kingdom.

Kayden and Jessica Kaupp - YWAM
Fully funded and on their way to Southeast Asia! Please continue to hold them up in your prayers as they are off to speak Jesus in some of the most unreached areas of the world.
Caden Morrow - YWAM
Caden is currently attending DTS (Discipleship Training School) in Oteran, Norway. This is the northernmost post of all the YWAM bases in the world!
The location is remote, wild and beautiful. Studies and lectures will wrap up just before Christmas break. Then in the New Year Caden will be traveling across Finland as well as to Estonia for the missions portion of his DTS. Caden is considering his options for immediately following time at DTS and may join another YWAM mission school in Oslo, Norway for a couple more weeks of training and then a mission into India. He will update with his decision regarding the India mission, which will be funding dependent. He's carefully and prayerfully considering the direction to take and appreciates your prayers and support.
If you feel you'd like to contribute financially to Caden, you can etransfer him directly: CadenMatthew135@gmail.com

Avery Morrow - YWAM
An update from Avery:
Hello Fam Jam! Figured I’d update y’all real quick with what’s been happening.
For those who don’t know. I am in a 9 month Bible course (SBS - School of Biblical Studies) with YWAM in Kona, where we learn to study the Bible inductively. We go through the entire bible - reading each book 5 times.
Books completed: Titus, Galatians, Ephesians, Mark, Luke, Acts, and Philippians. Now, we’re currently in Colossians and Philemon.
Everyday, except for Sunday, we’re either in lectures or studying. We worship and/or pray everyday. Then of course sleep and meals.
It is such an honor to get to study the Word this in depth with this much intentionality. Thank you to all who contributed both in prayer and in finances. Please continue to support me!
