Hi, my name is Nick Allen. I am a sophomore (Year 2) Marketing major with a minor in Graphic Design from Seattle, Washington. In my spare time, I love photography, skateboarding, exploring my city, traveling, hiking, and drawing. I’ve grown up in a large city, and being in a “concrete jungle” has always fascinated me. Even when I was little, I loved exploring and traveling to see God’s incredible creation and His creation through man. Going and seeing the world that my Lord has created has always been a passion of mine—just to enjoy the life God has given me. He gave us a life to enjoy, and what better way to enjoy life than to do it while serving Him! I’m so excited to be of service to God in Australia and to see what life-changing experiences God has waiting for me there!

My name is Annaliese Cirone, I am in year nine in High School attending Pensacola Christian Academy in Pensacola, Florida, and this will be my fourth time going to Australia. When I first went during the summer of 2013, our family stayed in the missionary’s home (the Maldoffs) and had the opportunity to serve their local church while the Maldoffs were back in the States on furlough. That was one of the best summers of my life. One of the many things I love about Australia are the people there. Not only do I love their accents, but they are always so kind and courteous. I am excited to go back and look forward to seeing what God has for me this year.

My name is Ben Jackey and am a senior (Year 4) double-major in Science and Mathematics Secondary Education with a minor in Music Ministries.  I grew up in an Air Force family thus moved many times throughout my life. I am a classical musician and have had years of voice and piano lessons. My favorite classical composer is Giacomo Puccini and have attended several operas he wrote as well as had the opportunity to participate in one. I also love roller coasters and escape rooms. My desire through this missions trip is to culture a heart for the needs of the Australian people before I begin teaching in Sydney at Condell Park Christian School immediately following the missions trip.

Hello everybody, my name is Jonathan Key and was born and grew up in Nassau, The Bahamas. I am 23 years old and am a senior (Year 4) Marketing and Business Management major at Pensacola Christian College. I play the saxophone and I love to have fun. After I graduate I plan to continue my studies at PCC by pursuing a Master’s in Business Administration degree. Though out my life the Lord has been able to use me in ministering to both the people in my community as well as helping at a summer camp. I am looking forward to the new opportunities that God will bring me through traveling with the YOM Team Outreach Australia and am excited to gain new experiences.

Hi! My name is Dehan Requintina. I am 18 years old and am a junior (Year 3) at Pensacola Christian College studying Pre-law. Originally being from Dasmariñas, Cavite, Philippines, I’ve lived in East Texas for most of my life and now call Texas my home. During Summer 2018, I was blessed with the incredible opportunity to join the medical YOM team to Lima, Peru. To say that the experience in Peru was life changing would be an understatement. I found so much joy in serving the Peruvian people and working alongside my loving team members! The faithful missionaries in Lima taught me so many valuable lessons and showed me what a servant’s heart truly means. So, when God opened the door for another mission trip in 2019 and allowed me to do it all again in Australia, I got and continue to be so excited! Please pray not only for the safety of our team throughout our travels, but also more importantly for the hearts of the Australian people to be receptive to the love of God and the Gospel of Christ!
