Johannes Tarigan and Yusak Ferry to leave their native land of Indonesia to become messengers of the Gospel in the United States. Their aggressive vision is to initiate a church planting movement among the ever-increasing Southeast Asian population with an emphasis on the following ethnicities: Indonesian, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Filipino, Burmese, and Laotian.

Their mission will include establishing ministry training centers to prepare and produce laborers among these targeted nationalities.

Chase and Kristina Granstaff currently serve as faith-based missionaries with EVUSA. They are passionate about fulfilling The Great Commission and reaching unreached people with the good news of Jesus Christ.

God has given the Granstaff’s a vision to bring the true gospel to the Mormon communities of Salt Lake City, Utah, through church planting. Mormons make up nearly 80 percent of the region they will be living in, a suburb of Salt Lake City. Please prayerfully consider sending them to this unreached population in Utah.

The Jones family is obeying God's call to reach and serve native American Indians on reservations, a place and a people that have been overlooked and forgotten by our society. Of the 1.6 million souls living on reservations, only 48,000 confess Christ as Lord and Savior; statistically speaking, that's only 1% away from being considered an unreached people group in America!

Partnering with Montana Indian Ministries, they will live on the reservation and minister to children and youth through summer camps, after-school programs, feeding programs, and relational evangelism. "We will bring hope where there is no hope and justice where a great injustice lives... our God loves justice!"

Kendall and Erica Gilliam have obeyed the call to reach the Native American community. As a young family established as local church pastors in the Spirit Life Ministries Conference, they feel an urgency to go beyond the four walls. The Lord has stirred a deep desire to see broken and rejected people set free. Kendall and Erica expect God to heal, restore, and raise Native American tribes.

Their ministry focus is Native American Reservations, making disciples and providing restoration, providing physical needs, and establishing house churches.

Jon and Erica are US missionaries church planting in Los Angeles. They have a burden to serve both the global church and the modern Western church—especially in urban, post-Christian contexts like LA where the Global and Western churches are neighbors sharing the same zip codes. In June 2022, Jon and Erica moved to Los Angeles to plant The Awakening’s West Coast International Training Base, desiring to raise next-gen leaders and target the over 130 nations represented throughout LA’s residents—mobilizing some to reach their home countries. While there, they also began seeing the need for new local churches to help respond to L.A.’s dire spiritual situation and discovered that their passion for global missions and next-gen discipleship could be wedded together with their burden to reach the city in the form of church planting. So in February 2024, they committed to planting a new local church in Los Angeles called “Goodness & Love City Church.”
