Hi friends! My name is Caio Silva, I'm from Brazil, but I am living in the United States working as a full-time missionary with YWAM Kona.

I grew up in the church, but was truly encountered by the truth and power of the gospel when I was in my 20s. Since then, my heart has been marked for seeing young people encounter the real man person of Jesus, fall in love with Him and live a wholehearted life pursuing Him.

I currently work for a ministry underneath YWAM Kona called Fire and Fragrance. We run six-month discipleship training schools where young people can come to know God deeper and make Him known in the nations of the earth. These 6 months are divided into two portions: a 3-month lecture phase and a 3-month outreach. I staff both of these portions, the first in Kona on the campus and then the second somewhere across the earth.

Long term in ministry, though, my vision and goals are to see youth movements erupt across the earth - whether in communities in the states or hard, closed nations. I long to see this generation swept up in the beauty and glory of Jesus and am willing to partner with Him in any way He would ask of me.

As this is my full-time job, I live off of the generosity and financial support of those around me! I do not get any sort of payment or paycheck. Raising monthly support is how I am able to stay doing what I am doing.

I would be honored if you would prayerfully consider partnering with me in this area!

Caio
