Youth Ministries
Bible Studies - Our team has had the opportunity to run a Youth Alpha course with some girls from the high school that WANTED to get to understand the Bible more. This then turned into a regular Bible study group, with our team meeting with the girls, discipling them through the Bible. Due to programs like this and others in partnership with the school chaplain, more and more kids are showing an interest in God!
Youth camp - In January we ran our youth camp on the YWAM Campus. The camp leader, Bree said this: Through tons of prayer, a whole lot of sugar & caffeine and a
the faithfulness of God, a group of students learned what it looks like to live as children of God and each individual left with personal breakthrough and new freedom in life! I’ve never known the faithfulness of God like I saw and experienced through this week. Wowie, He’s good!
Vanuatu mission trip - We sent a youth outreach team to Vanuatu for 2 weeks. The team, including 5 youth aged 16-18, were Jesus’ hands & feet — sharing His love through prayer, skits, service projects & simply connecting. They prayed for over 100 people, seeing 7 people commit or recommit their lives to Jesus! In addition to that the youth gained an even deeper heart for the Lord and for His mission! It wasn’t easy, with most of the team battling sickness for the first few days, but they pressed in, depended on God & saw His power move through their weakness.

Bible Testimony - Lilli
Recently our Bible Core Course (BCC) students graduated from their intensive 3 month study course. Here is a brief testimony from Lilli about the program:
"The Course totally changed my perspective on the Bible and has been by far one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done for my relationship with God. In just three months, so many things I knew to be true about God came completely alive within me, and the living word of God is now my whole source of strength.
A couple weeks before my course ended, one of my closest family members got really sick, really fast. As soon as I arrived home after the course, I was faced with the news that he was gone. Things were sad, hard, and honestly totally sucky. In the not so long ago past, my response to something like this would've been weeks of panic attacks, hopelessness and frustration. And while I can’t say I wasn’t frustrated, I was taken aback by my response - all I wanted to do was pick up the bible. For days, I constantly read through the word of God and his promises to us. During this time of being physically alone, I felt the presence of God like never before. He filled me with hope and gave me a peace and a joy that were beyond my understanding. Somehow, even though things seemed bad here on earth, it was like none of it mattered. I had my God, and due to this simple fact (with a rooted understanding of his faithfulness), I was unshakeable. It was at that point that I knew I had been completely transformed by and rooted in the word of God. Since truly experiencing first hand the heart of God through the Bible, stuff just doesn’t shake me the way it once did.

Missions Teams
We currently have teams in Japan, Solomon Islands (Pacific islands), South Asia and Southeast Asia (undisclosed for security reasons).
Here is what our team in Southeast Asia has to say briefly:
We went to one village where no YWAM team has been before, and some people had never seen westerners before. It was a busy week that included fishing with locals, hospital visit, morning devotions around 5am, prayer, and sharing the Gospel. We went on house visits and led a youth service every day. At one of the house visits, a whole family gave their lives to Christ! Praise God!
We had an unexpected dance night, which connected us and the youth well. We felt the Lord wanting to teach the kids about prayer and praying out loud and champion the youth to serve, and many of them grew a lot while we were there!
