Youth With a Mission - www.ywamperth.org.au - YWAM Perth Facebook page -
Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is an international Christian Missions organisation, where people come from many different Countries and denominations to know God and make Him known. There are over 1000 training bases in over 149 countries with nearly 17,000 staff. Every year more and more people are being trained and equipped to be a part of the Great Commission.
YWAM Perth (on the West Coast of Australia) is a vibrant community of around 300 people of all ages committed to looking at the needs in our community and in the Nations and are constantly seeking God for new ways to meet these needs and make Him known. We do this through training, mercy ministries and evangelism. Currently we run over 30 different training courses including our entry level Discipleship Training School (DTS). Of those 30+ schools, 13 are DTS's and the rest are Second Level Schools where we train students to use their gifts and passions for more than just themselves but to meet the needs of our world! This could be through healthcare, art, music, community development and more, each school also has an overseas outreach. Most schools are 6 months long with a 3 month lecture phase and a 3 month outreach and run at different times through 4 quarters of the year.
In YWAM Perth we also run a variety of different ministries that reach out to the community, working together with local churches and initiatives to see the city develop and grow into all that God intends. And we are always doing evangelism whether thats in the city of Perth or in the many locations we go to on Outreach.
What we did in YWAM Perth:
Sven:
Training: School leader of the Frontline Discipleship Training School (runs from Oct - Mar every year)
~ Of the 13+ DTS's in YWAM Perth, many of them have different focuses. Sven leads one called the Frontline DTS. In this training course students are equipped to know God and are trained up to go the hard places of the world on the adventure of a lifetime! Often they will go trekking through Nepal to unreached villages. ~
Ministry: Ministry leader of the Youth Ministry called Nexwave (runs all year round)
~Youth Ministry's vision is to see this generation captivated by the truth of Jesus Christ. Sven and his team go into high schools in the local area and run seminars to see the youth of this generation equipped and challenged.They also run camps twice a year. ~
