For the last 10 years we have been full-time missionaries with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). We are currently based in Townsville, Australia and have an outreach focus both locally and into the Asia-Pacific region. Our primary focus as a couple is on youth – discipling and equipping them for the mission field.
It’s our desire is to see young people released into their full potential and destiny as they learn to pursue God and reach out into the nations with His love and generosity. Ultimately we want to see them launched into missional living in whatever sphere of society they are called to influence.
We do this through running training programs, discipleship and mentoring, teaching, writing, developing and multiplying leaders, reaching out to the poor and needy, and mobilizing workers for missions.
We were married on the 25th of March, 2008 and in January 2010 we had our first child – a precious son named Levi.
Our sending churches are Engadine Church of Christ in Sydney, Australia (Ryan’s home church) and Westside Church in Bend, Oregon (Adriel’s home church).
Together we plan to continue serving in YWAM full time into the future, both within Australia and throughout the nations of the earth.
Please see also the YWAM Townsville website to learn more about our missions work.
Hi we have never met but my fiancé and I just stared attending Westside in Bend, OR and I was perusing through the missionaries they support. When I saw you guys are at the Townsville Base I just had to make a quick connection. That was the base I did my DTS 11 years ago. The base has grown so much since then but that is where the fire was really lit for me and missions. I hope all is going well for you guys down there. Blessings
Hi Hannah! It is a small world isn’t it? We will have to meet up when Levi and I are home next week! We’ll be at all three services on the weekend of March 27/28. Please be sure to come introduce yourself.
