Hey everyone! My name is Alyssa Jensen and I am currently a missionary with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) in Kona, Hawaii.

I'm a part of a community called Fire & Fragrance, which is focused on training and sending young people to the nations to share the Gospel. We want to develop young leaders that carry fire in their hearts for Jesus that becomes the fragrance of Christ to the lost. We long to know God and make Him known throughout the whole world. We believe Jesus is the desire of the nations and only He can bring light and restoration to the darkest places.

My journey began a little over 2 years ago when I went to the Commission Youth Camp in Kona, Hawaii on a scholarship from one of my good friend Emily's passing. There I truly felt the presence of God and knew that I wanted to give my life to Jesus fully. I now knew that He was the greatest thing I could live for. I then felt the Lord calling me to do a DTS (Discipleship Training School) in January 2024. Here I learned so much including preaching, hearing Gods voice, presence centered living, how to disciple those around me, understanding Gods character, etc. This is where I gained a heart for the lost and knew that I was going to further my life in missions. I then went to Papua New Guinea for 3 months with a team of 12. Here I saw the power of God move like I had never seen. I saw the Lord heal the sick, bring peace to the broken hearted, blind eyes restored, deaf ears opened, and broken bones healed. I saw how much God can restore lives and bring purpose and fulfillment. Because I know the Lord and His heart for people, it has been one of the greatest joys of my life to follow what He has for me.

I now am currently in South Africa doing a leadership track at the Potchefstroom YWAM base. I will be here until mid December and have a short break before going back to staff the upcoming 2025 January DTS in Kona, Hawaii.

I've personally seen the power of the Gospel radically transform my life and set me free, and I believe God wants to do the same for all His children. With all of that being said, I would be so deeply honored if you would prayerfully consider partnering with me as I continue in missions this year. I am looking to gain monthly supporters that would help provide what I need to sustain this lifestyle. This money would go towards rent, food, plane tickets, personal needs, and other fees.

Thank you for your consideration!  :)

Much love, Alyssa!
