Thanks for visiting our site. Here are some highlights of things happening in our YWAM ministry in the last 12 months.
  • Bible Training - YWAM Brisbane ran our first Bible Core Course which equips people to study the Bible for themselves, as well as preaching from the text and running Bible studies. This course is foundational for Christians. In this world with all sorts of messages available, we must learn how to read the Word for a life message from God.
  • Building Projects - As our ministries have grown, YWAM Brisbane needed more space! So this year we established 2 buildings to multiple our number of classrooms for training and a new house which can accommodate 12 of our volunteer staff (including an apartment for Gary and I!)
  • Equipping for the nations - discipleship, leadership, acting, film, Bible - One of our strategies for transforming nations and communities  is through training individuals to impact their own communities or where ever God sends them.
  • This year we've had the privilege of equipping 180 young people to Christian service.
    • 91 people have gone through our Discipleship program
    • 4 people train in intensive Bible ministry
    • 39 people equipped in leadership and Christian ministry
    • 20 people trained in acting and film-making, bringing change to the entertainment industry
    • I (Darcie) have trained 38 participants from YWAM Brisbane and other Bases in a course I run 3 times per year, training them effective training and evaluation strategies to better disciple for those under their care
  • Detroit - A new ministry has set up in Detroit with 7 team members since September. Detroit is close to my (Darcie's) heart as it was my first mission trip destination. The team is working alongside churches and community groups as they pray, evangelize, encourage and disciple the city. Go to www.ywamdetroit.com or 'like' on Facebook
  • Mobilization - We've sent 20 ministry teams to 9 different countries, partnering with local churches and missions groups, haring the gospel, encouraging and supporting people, doing community development and general practical works.
  • Worship Ministry - YWAM started a new ministry called Creative Ministry Development Team (CDMT) with the vision to cultivate worship and intercession even more within our Centre and into the nations, and develop creative means for sharing the Good News.
