Lauren Smith - Lebanon/Middle East Thank you for visiting my page and allowing me to opportunity to share my burden with you! I'm Lauren Smith, and I've been approved to serve as AIMer to Lebanon/Middle East for 10 months in the year 2019-2020 under the supervision of Bro. Mark and Sis. Mariann Starin. While there, I will be preaching, teaching discipleship courses and Bible studies, and teaching English as a second language.Currently, I serve on the pastoral team at Grace Community Church under Bro. Rod Nesmith in Kinder, La. I have also been active in youth outreach on the local and district level, addictions recovery, and outreach.Reaching the unreached beyond my homeland has been a lifelong burden of mine. I have had the opportunity to travel to Panama and El Salvador on AYC trips and to Costa Rica for Next Steps and have led my home church in giving to specific projects on the foreign field. I came to understand my call to reaching the lost beyond my homeland as a young person attending one of my first youth rallies at the Louisiana district campgrounds where the pastor preached on the great commission. After committing myself to do whatever I could to reach this world, God showed me many nations and people of all walks of life receiving the Holy Ghost and being baptized!For years during and after college, I worked with international students and taught English as a second language. Most of my students were from the Middle East. God opened the door for me to be a blessing to them, and little did I know, God was using them to work on me too! In 2016, the Lord began to deal with me about serving HIM in the Europe and Middle East region and has specifically led me to Lebanon. I am fully convinced God has called me to go, but to get there, I will need your help. Any support, whether in giving or in prayer, is appreciated! May God bless you!

Cherish Kennedy - Ireland I’m so excited for this door the Lord has opened up and can’t wait to be on the field, reaching the souls in Ireland. Any amount of support helps! I ask that you would keep me in your prayers as God directs me in witnessing to the people of this nation. - Cherish

Jamie Davis - Japan UPDATE 2: I have been approved from the Japanese goverment and just need my VISA approvals which seemingly should only take a week or so. As of now, as long as everything goes as planned, I fly out August 22nd to Japan. UPDATE: Obviously COVID has derailed my plans to return in May of 2020. But finally there is a light at the end of the tunnel! There is a lot of paperwork to be done, and approvals from the Japanese government, but there's a way I can get back to the mission field. Obviously the unexpected two year delay has had some effect on my finances, as well as ticket prices will seemingly costs more now than they usually have (they were already always the biggest expenditure). So your help financially would be a major blessing, as Japan will be looking at my financials to make sure I'm not someone coming over that can't afford to be there/return to the US after my term. And of course keep me and the situation in your prayers, so the paperwork can get approved quickly (it can possibly take over three months), and that God will have his hand on me and use me while I'm back over there. ___________________________________________ I'm going back to Japan again to help Bro. and Sis. Hosmer! This time I'm going to try doing a five or six month term. Previously I've been limited to 90 day terms due to passport restrictions. But this time I am going to attempt to get a job on one of the military bases so that I can both stay longer, and have some form of income while over there. And if for some reason I can't manage to get that done, I will be applying for a religious visa while there to still be able to stay. (But obviously that would require more fundraising and getting a job would alleviate a lot of the need.)The two previous times that I've done 90 day terms, my budget has been approximately $6,000. I'm not sure what my budget will be this time, but flights are a main expenditure of my trips, so I'm just going to put a rough estimate at $8,000 - $10,000. I'm not trying to fundraise all of that, and I don't expect to raise all of that, but anything helps. I know some people just want to be a blessing, and others don't see me personally on a regular basis to be able give offline.And even if you can't give, everyone can still help by keeping me and the country of Japan in your prayers.

Ahmet Sarioglu - Turkey After being baptized in Jesus name and the infilling of the Holy Ghost at DFC my life has changed. in 2012, I moved back to Turkey which is my birth country. God put a burden in my heart to reach out to the lost people in this nation. I started with Turkish nationals first however later Jesus had added the refugees to the ministry. Since then we have been working with all nationalities that live in the country of Turkey including hundreds of refugees. We have started many bible studies and currently training disciples in Jesus name. We travel nearly 2500 miles a month to service 7 cities with churches. This has been an amazing blessing and learning experience for us. Glory of all belongs to the lord Jesus Christ. We are beyond excited to see what is in store and what great things God will do in Turkey, we ask you to please support us through your prayers as this journey continues. I pray you consider supporting us on this journey in what ever capacity you feel is God's will. Whether it be by one time donation, becoming a partner in missions and supporting monthly, or simply by prayer. However you choose to support, your giving is certainly a blessing. We pray God blesses you for your faithfulness to His word and His purpose.

Sabrina Porter | AIMer to ScotlandGreetings in Jesus' name!Thank you for your interest in helping to reach souls around the world. In August 2016, I went to Scotland as an AIMer to serve under Missionaries John and Susan Beek. While I was there, I fell in love with the people and felt the immense burden to do all I could to reach the Scottish people. I was given the opportunity to return and I eagerly did so, returning for another year.That year seemed to fly by as I was involved in many ministries. Thanks to those who supported me to go, I was able to continue to minister in Edinburgh (preaching, teaching, music, etc.) and to both teach and do administration for Harvest Bible College Part-Time.I also moved into Dunfermline and established a weekly Bible Study in a local Community Centre. The goal is to soon see a thriving church established in this town, as well as outreaches in the surrounding Kingdom of Fife.While I am working to reapply for a visa that will allow me to stay longer, as well as raise funds to support these efforts in Scotland, I am anxious to return quickly and see what God will do!With your help, I will continue to establish a church in the Dunfermline area, work with the church in Edinburgh, and any other opportunity that presents itself, including house groups and Bible School.Any thing that you can give will be a tremendous blessing to the many souls in Scotland that are waiting to hear the Gospel and become disciples of Jesus. Please continue to go with me in your prayers, that we may see this nation revived with the fire of the Holy Spirit!God bless you!Sis. Sabrina PorterAIMer to Scotland

Jewel Randall- Romania God placed a burden on my heart for the country of Romania about a year ago. I was making plans and was set to go but due to covid I wasn't sure if it was still in God's plan. I have continued to pray about it and placed it in God's hands. I am excited to announce to my family and friends that the door to Romania hasn't closed. I am excited for the opportunity to work with the Pattersons. Thank you for considering sponsoring me to help me reach my goal so that I can be on the field June 2021. Please keep me in your prayers as I step out on the field to do a work on God's kingdom.
