Our many ministries fit into three main categories:
evangelism, training and mercy ministry. We are currently operating
in more than 900 locations in over 140 countries, with a staff of
over 11,000.
Dedicated to presenting Jesus personally to this generation, to
mobilizing as many as possible to help in this task, and to the
training and equipping of believers for their part in fulfilling
the Great Commission. As citizens of God's kingdom, we are called
to love, worship, and obey our Lord, to love and serve His Body,
the Church, and to present the whole gospel for the whole person
throughout the whole world.
We of Youth With A Mission believe that the Bible
is God's inspired and authoritative word, revealing that Jesus Christ
is God's son; that people are created in God's image; that He created
us to have eternal life through Jesus Christ; that although all
people have sinned and come short of God's glory, God has made salvation
possible through the death on the cross and resurrection of Jesus
Christ; that repentance, faith, love and obedience are fitting responses
to God's initiative of grace towards us; that God desires all people
to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth; and that
the Holy Spirit's power is demonstrated in and through us for the
accomplishment of Christ's last commandment, "...Go ye into
all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark
16:15).
Discipleship Training Schools (DTS) aim to prepare
messengers of the gospel, helping students to know God in depth.
The goal is to form Christian character and establish Biblical relationships
while developing a daily walk with God. This intensive Christian
training course begins with an 11 or 12 week classroom phase followed
by a typically 12 week outreach.
The DTS is designed to encourage students to develop
in personal character, to cultivate a living relationship with God,
and to identify their unique individual gifts and callings in God.
Cross-cultural exposure and global awareness are special emphases
throughout these courses, preparing the students to reach current
and future generations and answer the call to "Go into all
the world and make disciples of all nations" Matthew 28:19.
Purpose and Outcomes of DTS
To GATHER and CHALLENGE people to worship, listen to and obey God,
releasing them (in the context of the DTS) to serve through evangelism,
intercession, acts of compassion and other expressions of God's
heart for the world, possibly even pioneering new ministries.
To INSPIRE and CULTIVATE growth in one's relationship with God resulting
in Christ like character, which is based on a solid Biblical foundation,
the work of the Holy Spirit and the personal application of Biblical
truth, especially concerning God's Character, the Cross and empowering
Grace.
To SHARPEN one's ability to relate to, learn from and work with
people, including those of different cultures, personalities and
perspectives.
To further EQUIP each one to serve God's purposes either in or outside
of YWAM Family of Ministries, strengthening a commitment to reach
the lost, especially the unreached, to care for the poor, and to
influence all areas of society.
To IMPART the vision and foundational values of Youth With A Mission
International as well as that of the host operating location and
to provide information regarding a variety of opportunities for
service.
It was such a pleasure for United
Caribbean Trust to be able to invite the students from the
Barbados YWAM to visit and fellowship at the United Caribbean
Trust headquarters, at Cassada Bay in Carriacou, as part of
their outreach during their Jan 2005 Discipleship
Training Schools (DTS).Seen here with Tony (center back)
and Jenny (front) with dogs!
We met again in Carriacou in April 2006
