2024 (Meant to post this in January!)
Hello Friends and Family!
I cannot believe we have entered a whole new year! We are so overwhelmed with what God did last year still, it’s hard to shift gears for this year's exploits and projects.
We are so incredibly grateful for the team of supporters who have now been sowing into what God is doing through our lives for 5 years! 5 years in missions, 5 years of preaching the gospel, training young people, praying for healing, writing songs, so many wonderful things, thank you for coming alongside our family.
The contents of this post are going to include overall stats from 2024 across all of the different areas of our ministry, as well as what we are gearing up for here in 2025. A lot of exciting things are happening this year!
2024 Spring Tours
Between January and March of every year our Carry the Love, Brave love, Black voices, and high schools teams tour across the world to preach the gospel, pray for healing and train those who are saved (or who get saved) how to preach the gospel. There were a total of 495 tour stops across all 4 movements (CTL, Brave Love, Black Voices and High School) in 29 nations. In total, we gathered 40,141 people, here is the breakdown of that because it’s fun to see!
Carry the Love America: 13,986
Carry the Love Europe: 12,143
Brave Love: 1,473
Black Voices: 2,210
High Schools: 5,557
South Africa: 4,772
That alone is an incredible feat! Such incredible fruit, but that’s only the beginning, here is the breakdown of the salvations we saw. In total we saw 4,665 salvations across those tours:
Carry the Love America: 1,213
Carry the Love Europe: 1,108
Brave Love: 76
Black Voices: 535
High Schools: 949
South Africa: 784
Everyone of those numbers is a soul making a decision for eternity! Choosing to follow Jesus over anything or anyone else! What a victory!!! On top of that we have 70 baptisms recorded and 354 healings recorded!
Fields and January School Outreach
While the spring tours are out, we have a team of staff here in Orange County training another group of students to go out and preach the gospel! Those students go out to fields and typically are doing more citywide outreach in the summertime. We got to jump on one of these week-long field events in Stockholm, Sweden, and the hunger for Jesus was outrageous! I remember one night as we were soundchecking for the worship night, we were being told that that day, during evangelism in the city, they saw 60 salvations! Here are the statistics from that whole tour.
Within the span of two months we gathered 22,151 people and recorded 4,424 salvations and rededications. We recorded 96 healings and witnessed 13 baptisms. Just crazy!
2024 Overview
A Circuit Rider calendar year is jam packed with tours, outreaches, field gatherings, trainings, schools, crusades, prayer times, worship services, and for our music team, a whole other calendar of writing weeks, studio time, practice and events. There is certainly not a lack of things to put our hands to. It makes life exciting! With everything that we have done, we have seen 20,000+ salvations in 2024!
Spring Tour: 4,665
Fields and January Outreach: 4,424
Kenya Tour: 492
Kenya Outreach: 10,666
Europe Summer Schools: 131
Riders High School Camp: 80+
Local Jesus Clubs: 79
Monday Night: 67
The Send New Zealand: 120
What a testimony of God’s saving power and grace! Alongside this incredible testimony of salvations across Circuit Riders, we have seen so many beautiful testimonies within The Send movement that Circuit Rider Music partners with.
The Send
A brief word about the Send! The Send is a movement that seeks to catalyze the church to their missional calling. Whether that is missions on a school campus, in a foreign nation or in your city and workplace, the goal is to encourage the believer everywhere we go to preach the gospel, unashamed! Over the last 5 years, we have seen many signs, wonders and miracles take place at these gatherings. So many salvations, so many healings, it has been truly remarkable to have been and continue to be a part of this movement. Within these events, we actively call those in attendance to seek the Lord in what he would have them commit to reaching with the gospel, those commitments include High Schools, Universities, Nations, Local Communities, and Vulnerable Children. Among the people who responded, here are the numbers of those commitments made in these gatherings.
High Schools: 24,466
Universities: 26,232
Nations: 58,975
Local Communities: 13,174
Vulnerable Children: 24,957
These numbers don’t include some of the more recent send events that we have done. For example, the Send, New Zealand event happened recently in November and here are those day-of outcomes…
High Schools and Universities: 482
Nations: 634
Local Communities: 911
Vulnerable Children: 507
So incredible! My favorite part about these days and outcomes is that when a commitment is made and communicated via QR code in the gathering, that person is immediately directly linked to a movement or ministry to begin meeting the need. I remember at the Send in Michigan, the vulnerable children commitments were linked directly to foster care organizations and families immediately started the process with social workers in that region. It is the church rising up to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and we get to be a part of it.
CR Music
The last sector in Circuit Riders that we really serve daily is Circuit Rider music. I am a songwriter and worship leader, and Asa is a guitar player and primary sound engineer/producer for the whole movement. In September we recorded our second album for Circuit Rider Music and it was so much fun. We wrote these songs to give language to a generation that wants to follow Jesus with everything they have. It was an honor to write and sing these songs, with Asa writing the music alongside. What always astonishes me about music is how far it can carry the message of Jesus once it’s released. I have watched time and time again how songs from Circuit Riders have gone into nations that Christians cannot even go into. In 2023, the song we released with Greenhouse (Circuit Riders house of prayer) caused Palestine to be the fastest growing country of my listeners on Spotify! That blew me away. Over the last year, our music has been streamed over 37,831,967 times. In the last 90 days, we have accumulated over 1,725,300 YouTube views and have reached over 3.7 million instagram accounts. With Gen z increasingly being a biblically illiterate generation, it is an honor to meet them where they’re at with scripture filled songs.
Looking into 2025!!
Already 2025 is proving to be an even more packed and fruitful year! I want to lay out a few of the initiatives and trips already on our calendar for the year.
Between now and June we will be doing a small tour in California with the Send, The Send Scotland, and the Send Finland. When we’re home from these trips, we will be in the studio recording my personal ALBUM!! CRAZY! We recently welcomed a whole bunch of missionaries from across the world in Costa Mesa for a week-long training we call, “100 for 100”. This is where we bring in leaders from YWAM bases all around the world to encourage, equip and catalyze them in their call and responsibility to preach the gospel and lead young people in preaching the gospel. It’s a time where they get refreshed and refocus around YWAM cultures and biblical principles. Also during this time, we have a DTS here, so teaching in our school is always fun and preparing these students to go out and preach the gospel never gets old. We continue our Monday Night gatherings, as well as our Greenhouse weekly gatherings. Asa and I are also leading a team that mixes worship moments from our sets and releases those on YouTube to better serve those who seek to fill their days with prayer and worship. Not to mention our Circuit Rider Music album that we recorded in September is scheduled to release in APRIL!!! Which could not be more exciting!
From June-December, we are gearing up for our summer schools, particularly our High School summer camp that will take place here in LA and our Circuit Rider School that will take place in Costa Mesa. We are preparing to possibly fly out to more schools in Europe this summer as well. However we will definitely be heading back to the UK once in again in November to partner with their Send team out there as they are putting together a mini tour to catalyze the whole island! This is also the time we’re anticipating my album to be released! Talk about a FULL year!
God is doing so much and constantly blowing us away. We are beyond honored to give our lives to seeing the lost, saved. I can’t believe songs that I have written are about to be released on the earth to give language to the church and to pique a curiosity in the lost souls that would hear. Trusting that God will send these songs to every heart that needs him!
If you made it to the end of this post… Wow, bless you! We are thrilled to do this for yet another year. We thank you so very much for your partnership in spreading the good news and ask for your continued prayers for our family as we step into more initiatives and projects than ever before. We pray that you will be blessed this year! And we Love you!
