Needs You
Ellianna B.
Traveling across Europe sharing music and the gospel was already one of the paths I’ve been considering taking after I graduate in May, so this is a perfect opportunity to experience what it might be like in a safe and organized way. I’ve always had a heart to aid missionaries in any way I can; my parents set an example for me growing up as we would visit families during our time living in Europe. I would love to continue what my parents started and work along side missionary families in their outreach.
Sarah C.
I’ve always wanted to go on a mission trip. Last summer, I worked as a counselor at my church’s camp and really felt that the Lord wanted me to continue serving Him during the summers. When the mission trips were mentioned in the chapel, I really felt like God was tugging on my heart to sign up. I would really like to travel to other countries to spread the gospel. I feel like this is an amazing opportunity to grow spiritually and push myself out of my comfort zone.
Maggie C.
I have gone with YOM the past 2 summers and have had a great time of ministry and learning both times. I have been able to develop relationships with the missionaries and would love the opportunity to grow those relationships and learn more about the ministry as well, serving as a representative for PCC.
Gavin D.
I have always wanted to go on a mission trip to serve in a different country and experience the differences in culture, as well as the unique experiences of reaching those within a different culture than my own, and I have even specifically thought of music in the mission field.
Tori D.
I want to use the talents and opportunities God has given me to influence others for Christ and just be a light for Him. I specifically choose the Europe trip for the opportunity to minister through music.
Jacob D.
I have been wanting to go on a missions trip with the school since my freshman year, but with working at the Wilds Christian Camp for the past 3 summers, it always conflicted with that schedule and it has not worked out. I would love to go on this missions trip because I love sharing the gospel in a places that I normally would not go. I have been on 3 missions trips in my life, 2 being out of the US, and they have been some of the best experiences in my life. Serving God is always a blast, but it is even more fun to do it with a group of people all bought in on the same mission, to give the Gospel to those who are in need. I would love to be able to go on a trip this summer and serve where God has placed me.

Hannah G.
Ever since this semester (fall 2025) started, I’ve been really thinking about mission trips. Since attending the mission prayer band and speaking with Dr. Bucy, I’ve felt strongly led to go to Europe. I know the Lord is leading me in this direction because I’ve even had certain things in my personal life point to Europe and music! Even if I didn’t end up going to Europe, I would still love to serve. I know God can use anything! Personally, I believe that a mission trip would be beneficial for me, as it would allow me to see other ministries beyond the ones I encounter in the US. I have always wanted to travel to Europe because the Catholic religion has such a strong presence there. My father grew up catholic before coming to know Christ, so it always makes me sad to see so much of the world believing so strongly in Catholicism. I’m not sure how much help I can be, but I’m willing to work very hard for the churches there and to be an encouragement to them and my team. I know God will provide for YOM and me. I am praying all of the right people get placed on the trips! Thank you for reading!
Kaylee G.
I saw the wayothers, was able to impact others and be an impact, and it was amazing to see. I crave the opportunity to serve others and be a light in any way I am able to.
Lucas H.
Mission trips in the past have opened my eyes to the need for evangelism around the world. Although working towards my degree in Mechanical engineering, I look and pray to be a greater influence on the World around me for the cause of our Lord. If accepted, I believe I would be a tremendous help wherever I am needed.
Grace H.
I love serving musically and I had a burden for the European people.
Ally H.
I think it would be a great opportunity to serve and share the gospel.

Josselyn H.
I want to truly live and experience the world while honoring God. I hope to meet people from different parts of the world who share my faith, journey together in unity, and serve others along the way.
Grace H.
I love serving musically and I had a burden for the European people.
Eddie H.
I’ve always wanted to go on a mission trip, and especially if Europe is an option, I think it would be the best fit for me, given that I speak Spanish. I’ve also been encuraged by friends who are going on this mission trip
Ally H.
I would love to go on a missions trip because, from a young age, I have had a heart for missions and doing more with my life to serve God. I worked at a summer camp a few years ago, and being able to invest in the kids and share the Gospel was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Sharing the peace and salvation that God has given me with others is my life’s goal. A mission trip also puts into perspective that we all share the same Gospel, just in different parts of the world; our God is never changing, regardless of which part of the world is hearing about Him. I would love to help the churches in Europe grow and reach people they might not have reached yet. I would also love to see Europe, which would help make the Bible come alive.
Abigail K.
Last year, I could feel the Lord leading me to become interested in going on the mission trip. I had taught the music to the team and felt like He was opening doors for me to go. Although I was unable to go last year, I can now see that He was preparing me to take the steps to go to the people in Europe this year.
Jacob K.
I’ve really wanted to go on a mission trip somewhere overseas for about 4 years now. This summer is the best opportunity for me to do so, as I have my fourth year free from school next year. This means I’ll have more available funds to support my participation in this mission trip. I specifically want to go on the music ministry trip to Europe because of the amazing stories I heard. I know music is compelling, and I’d love to use my cello skills to minister to others.
Sydney M.
I have a desire to uplift and support missionaries currently on the field. Ultimately, I want to see souls saved, grow closer to God, and use my skills as a ministry to others.
Kaitlyn M.
Growing up on the mission field, I loved missions, but as I grew older, the Lord continually put a burden on my heart for missions somewhere in the world. This past summer, I had the opportunity to go on a missions trip to Japan, where the Lord helped me see the greater need for missions in various parts of the world, beyond Australia. The opportunity to be on a YOM team would be a great way to see another part of the world and understand how missions work, while encouraging missionaries and believers throughout the period.
Jillian M.
I love traveling and what better way to see the world than by serving the Lord! I also love to sing and the Europe concert sounds like an amazing opportunity to share the gospel with a society that is so closed off to it. I want to grow in my relationship with the Lord be a witness for Him. I know that God works in the heart of those serving as well as those who are being served. One of the missionary families that my church supports are the Clemons in England. When they come they always tell stories about how hard it is to witness to Europeans. I want to go and be a help to a country that needs God.

Nathaniel M.
For the past few years, I have had the opportunity to travel with the Proclaim Ministry Teams and minister to churches, schools, and individuals across America. I have loved being able to use music as a ministry and would like to continue doing so with the Europe team. I would also like to see what Christianity looks like in other cultures besides America.
Kaylee P.
I believe it is an excellent opportunity to minister and share the Gospel. I want to share God’s love and help the churches in whatever capacity is needed. I believe I will be a great asset wherever the Lord puts me.
Alexandra P.
I want to go on a mission trip because I know there are many needs in various places, and I would like to spread God’s Word to those places in any way I can.
Kyrene P.
I feel that God has been calling me to share my musical talents in a way that will specifically bring glory to Him and His kingdom. I also want to take this opportunity to grow my worldview and experience firsthand the joy of bringing others to Christ.
Luca P..
I want to go on this mission trip because I’ve always felt a deep urge in my heart to participate in a mission trip at least once. I heard the testimonies in the chapel, and it made me wonder and think to myself that I need to put my faith into action. Because the Bible says faith without works is dead. I’ve always said that the excuses of ‘I need money to save for school’ or ‘I just don’t have any time’ are not valid. However, I believe that the Lord will continue to supply all my needs if I continue to put my faith, trust, and worries in Him. I want to utilize my ability to speak another language, especially in Spain, by presenting the gospel to those people in their own language. I also appreciate the opportunity this trip provides to share the gospel with people in multiple locations. I also love the concert spoken about because I love worshipping Christ through song, and especially presenting the gospel through it. To conclude, I believe the Lord has placed this in my heart for a reason, and I am eager to take a step of faith through it, not for any glory or praise, but to glorify and praise Him.
Hannah R.
I believe that God has given me gifts and a passion for serving others through missions. I have had the opportunity to participate in four other international mission trips with my church, and I am so thankful for those experiences. I want to spread the gospel, show God’s love, connect with others, and grow in my faith through missions. Although I cannot see a future in long-term missions (at least for the moment), I feel called to take every short-term mission trip opportunity that I can during this season of my life!
Daniel R.
I would love the privilege of going on a mission trip because I truly have a heart for the lost. I want to serve, learn as I go, and spend time with veterans who have dedicated their lives to missions. I am a missions major, and I chose this field because I believe God has called me to become a missionary—fulfilling not only my personal calling but also the calling that all Christians share.
Darryn R.
I want to be used by God this summer, and I believe He wants me to go on a missions trip.
Nelson S.
As a fruit of a missionary church, God has put in my heart the desire to work on the mission field spreading the Gospel to every nation.
Jack S.
I desire to serve with the Church around the world and become more aware of the work that God is doing in other places in the world.
James S.
I believe this is something God wants me to do. I want to use the gifts He’s given me for Him.
Grace S.
I wish to attend a mission trip because lately I feel like I’m being called to serve God, and to share His Word with those who may not know him. I wish to lead them to Christ through not just his Word, but also my attitude and actions as well.
Stockton S.
I want to go on a mission trip because I have personally seen how God can use you even in such a short amount of time. I was able to participate in two mission trips (one to Salt Lake City and the other to New York City), and it was a blessing to see how God used us, even in that short amount of time. I have always wanted an opportunity to go overseas and help people in other countries as well. I believe this would be a great way to fulfill the calling God has placed on my heart.
Hailey T.
I believe going on a missions trip is a great opportunity for me to go to other countries and see their need for the gospel. I want to minister to other Christians in ways that would grow and strengthen my faith.
Rayna W.
I have a passion for music and would love the opportunity to use my musical talents in service to Christ this summer. I had wanted to go last summer, but it just didn’t work out. I genuinely believe that the Lord is leading me on a mission trip this summer.
Zahara Z.
I want to serve the Lord and reach the nations however I can. It’s been a burden on my heart to do so and I am finally saying yes. I minister in many church ministries including nursery, junior church, Awana, and music ministry! I want to use my gifts to reach others with the gospel. I want to invest and be invested in. Although my major is Natural Science, I want to prepare to use my career as a ministry opportunity and possibly get involved in future missions as an aspiring Occupational Therapist! I love to work with children and youth, and hope to connect with them as I speak fluent Spanish and love ministering with music as well. I pray the Lord will lead and direct this process as I take this leap and trust Him this summer.
