Hi! My name is Jonah Santos! I’m 26 years old and from Sweden.

(2016) I gave my life to Christ when He met me personally at 17 years old.

(2019) Three years after I gave my life to the Lord, He called me into missions at a Summer camp when the preacher called forward anyone who felt led to pursue missions. I felt such a strong tug on my heart and I knew the Lord was calling me into missions. I went up and gave the Lord my yes publicly to missions. I got prayed for and that was it. I didn’t feel anything specific that night but I knew missions is what the Lord has called me into.

(2021) Two years after that, I did a DTS(Discipleship Training School) with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) Honolulu. For my 10 week mission trip, the Lord took my team and I to Kenya in Africa. The Lord broke my heart for missions and gave me such an UNEXPLAINABLY loving heart for His people and it was also during this trip to Africa that the Lord showed me His heart for a specific undisclosed (for security reasons) location in Asia and He called me to go there.

(2023) Two years later, I did an “intro to staffing” program called “Gateway” in Honolulu. While in the program, the Lord gave me a vision about going to this undisclosed location and into villages and suburbs that don’t have worship songs in their OWN mother tongue and teaching them how to write worship songs directly from the Bible. Most nations sing worship in English, which is sometimes a hard language for the locals to understand, but there is something about singing worship in your own mother tongue that meets you in a specific way. I would know since my mother is Swedish and that’s been my mother tongue since I was born. Now that I live in the States, it is very special to me to hear and sing worship to the Lord in Swedish.

(2024-2025) Three years after Kenya and one year after “Gateway”, I led a mission team to this undisclosed location. This is such a fulfillment for my life from the Lord as He told me I was going to this location back in 2021! Thank You Jesus! We were there for 10 weeks doing ministry in missions.

While being in this nation, I got to talk with some of the locals here about worship and songwriting and there is such a need for discipleship and guidance in that area. The locals want more worship in their own mother tongues in the villages they are from, but they don’t know how to write them.

The Lord has called me now to do a “School of Worship” at YWAM Honolulu that starts April 7th, 2025. He has called me to attend the school because He wants me to start it at a YWAM base in the location He has called me to to teach worship and song writing from the Bible to the locals there. But, in order to start a school, I have to have done it first.

Thank you for taking time to read this and for prayerfully considering supporting the Lord and I in His calling for my life into missions. No matter what, please keep me in your prayers! Blessings!

If you would like to know more about the ministry the Lord has called me to, have any questions, have any prayer requests I can pray for, and/or would like to contact me for any reason. Please feel free to contact me at: jonah.hammar@gmail.com

Much Love,
