About Us

Hi! We’re Abi and Joel Gayton. We are full-time missionaries that work with Youth With A Mission (YWAM), and we are based in Perth, Australia.

YWAM is an international missions organisation that’s been running strong since 1960. We offer training programs and do full-time ministry. If you’d like to have a look at YWAM Perth’s website, you can click here.

We come from Texas and Australia (Joel’s the Aussie), we’ve been married since 2015, and have a ridiculously cute little boy named Levi. We are both worship leaders, we love going to different nations, and Levi is quite full of adventure, so this is the perfect place for us!

We are volunteer workers, so our families, friends, and churches help support us financially so we can do what we do. We’ve been able to go to many places: Mozambique, Indonesia, Japan, India, and the Philippines just to name a few. God has been faithful to us and we can’t wait to see what else He has in store!

Abi’s favourite food is ice-cream. Levi’s favourite food is ketchup (or as he calls it, ‘dip dip’ sauce), and Joel doesn’t pick favourites, but he sure likes Coca Cola. We all love Vegemite (yes, even the American), and would encourage you to give it a try!
