JESSE & KAY
YWAM FIRE & FRAGRANCE
KONA, HI
Jesse and Kay have been in ministry for over 20 years, carrying a lifelong passion for both missions and the “least of these.” Their journey began with the pioneering of Camp Sonshine Center Foundation in the Philippines, where for nine years they reached the urban poor through children’s camps, discipleship, and community outreach. After transitioning leadership to local believers, they expanded the international reach of Camp Sonshine, directing camps in the Philippines, Guatemala, China, and other nations.
Jesse & Kay later served as mobilizers and trainers at Christ for the Nations Institute, where they equipped students through the Global Missions Major to take the gospel to the nations. Their ministry has also included serving refugees in Jordan and Cyprus, counseling, and developing leaders for cross-cultural impact.
Today, Jesse and Kay serve with YWAM Fire & Fragrance, a global movement focused on training and sending Gen Z missionaries to the nations. As Discipleship Training School leaders, they are pouring into the next generation, combining their rich experience in children’s ministry, missions mobilization, refugee work, and leadership development with their passion for the Middle East and the least-reached. Their heart remains to see every generation equipped, every culture impacted, and every nation transformed by the love of Jesus.
