Hi, my name is Ayden Schmidgall, and I have a heart for missions and sharing the love of Christ around the world. 

My journey began when I started a Discipleship Training School (DTS) with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), an experience that ignited a deep passion within me to serve in the mission field. Through the DTS, I learned not only how to grow in my faith but also how to engage with different cultures, share the Gospel, and support communities in need.

In November 2024, I traveled to El Salvador to serve the local communities by helping children learn English and providing haircuts. This hands-on experience will allow me to directly contribute to the well-being and education of these kids. 

In January 2025, I began the Frontlines leadership program through YWAM secondary schools where I deepened my understanding of a biblical worldview. For the outreach phase, my team traveled across the U.S. to support the unborn, praying at pregnancy centers and evangelizing across the nation. 

My next destination is Byron Bay, Australia, having been accepted into the YWAM Certificate IV in Christian Missions (C4CM) program. This is a two-year hands-on course that trains and assists you in the central fundamentals of becoming involved in full-time missions. 

Whether it’s through prayer, or financial support, I invite you to join me on this journey as we step out in faith together, serving in places that need the light of Jesus.

Ayden
