We are Kyler and Aubrianna, and along with our two daughters we are a missionary family following God’s call to Japan.

Missions has been on our hearts since 2019, and in 2024, we stepped into full-time ministry through Youth With A Mission (YWAM). We believe in God’s call to make disciples of all nations and trust that He will use our family to be a part of that work.

Kyler is passionate about prayer and worship and has spent much of his ministry leading worship and creating spaces for people to encounter God. Aubrianna has a heart for women, especially mothers. As a doula, she loves supporting and encouraging women through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. Together, we want to serve in a way that reflects God’s love and meets people where they are.

Japan is one of the most unreached nations in the world, with less than 2% of the population identifying as Christian. Many people are open to spiritual conversations, but stepping into faith is a big challenge because of how deeply connected religion is to cultural identity. Japan has been called the “missionary graveyard” because so many missionaries leave discouraged, but we believe that God is still moving there and that the Gospel is for Japan.

Over the next year, we will be preparing and building a team through YWAM Kona, with the long-term goal of helping establish a base in Japan. This will be a place to train and equip missionaries to share the love of Jesus in a way that is meaningful and lasting. We know this won’t happen overnight, but we are committed to taking the steps God puts in front of us and trusting Him with the process.

This is our family, and this is what we’re doing, saying yes to where God is leading and trusting Him to do the rest.
