Hello! My name is Anna Curless and I am a full time missionary with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Circuit Riders located in Huntington Beach, California. Circuit Riders is a missional movement empowered by YWAM whose mission statement is to save the lost, revive the saved, and train them all. Our mission field is middle schools, high schools, and universities throughout the United States and Europe.

I first heard about Circuit Riders in the spring of 2022 as I was falling into wholehearted love with Jesus. I started having dreams and visions about joining Circuit Riders. Although I didn’t fully grasp their mission, I felt that the Lord was calling me to join them. In a leap of faith, I applied to the DTS (Discipleship Training School) – 3 months of lectures and practicals of life in love with Jesus and as a missionary, and 3 months applying these skills on outreach.

My team and I visited over 20 college campuses in the Southern United States. We introduced  thousands of young adults to the gospel of Jesus Christ and proclaimed the freedom that He gives! We witnessed young people’s hunger for a move of God, and we witnessed His desire and willingness to move in His people.

Once I returned home from DTS in March, I realized that the very thing my heart burns for is the mission of Circuit Riders. I desire to see my generation free from suicide, anxiety, depression, and the all-too-normalized partying lifestyle. I have seen firsthand that the gospel transforms hearts and minds! There is such a hunger in my generation for more, and I firmly believe the object of their desire is Jesus.

God has called me to serve with Circuit Riders for the foreseeable future— at least two years. I will plan and lead DTS outreaches in America and Europe.

Please consider partnering with me to fulfill The Great Commission through prayer and financial support. I am excited to see how the Lord uses our partnership to further the gospel!

Thank you,

Anna
