New base building in Constanta

admin — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 17:00:16 +0000

We started YWAM Constanta seven years ago and for five years we have been renting a building localed in the central part of city. We also have one building for the Day Center and a building for the Girls` Home. Those two buildings we were given to use for free, without rent. The building we are currently renting we are using to house staff, our offices and the coffee house.
All our facilities are used to the max. The coffee house is from time to time used as a bedroom, and the office we have is shared by all of us. We have for a long time wanted a bigger place, to house more DTS students and to be able to reach more people. The teams that are coming in the summertime would also enjoy better facilities.
We are looking into different possibilities. Please pray for us during this period.

YWAM Explained

Youth With A Mission (YWAM) encompasses thousands of people and hundreds of ministries in almost every country of the world. In every case, our passion is to know God and to make Him known.

We are a mixture of people from all over the world, from about 150 countries in fact. In many of our locations, people from a wide variety of nations serve side by side. We come from numerous different Christian denominations and speak hundreds of languages. Nearly half of our staff come from “non-western” countries, such as Brazil, Korea, Indonesia, India and Nepal.

In addition to our full-time staff, many YWAM locations host short-term outreach teams made up of individuals, youth groups, families and churches who get to participate first-hand in “making God known” through both words and actions. We send out over 25,000 short-term missionaries each year.

There are three strands of ministry weaving throughout all that YWAM does:

Evangelism

Some creative tools used to present the gospel include drama, music, performing arts and sports camps. YWAMers want to share their faith effectively in ways that the audience–whether teenagers, elderly refugees, or an unreached people group–will understand. YWAM also engages in church planting among unreached people groups.

Mercy Ministry

Mercy Ministry is the “hands and feet” of making God known. YWAM helps meet some of the practical and physical needs of about 400,000 people annually. Caring for street children in South America; aiding in the recovery of drug addicts in North America and Western Europe; feeding and housing refugees and women in need in Africa and Asia, and operating ships that declare the good news practically and verbally, are just some of the ways in which helping hands are extended.

Training and Discipleship

Training and Discipleship aim to better equip Christians to serve others in everything from agriculture and health care, to drug rehabilitation and biblical counseling. Through YWAM’s University of the Nations (UofN), missionaries can study in specialized areas such as science and technology, linguistics, the humanities, and Christian ministry. Most YWAM schools combine classroom teaching with relationship-centered discipleship and practical service.

The Discipleship Training School is a requirement for applying as YWAM staff, and serves as a prerequisite to all other training programs. Click here to read more about dts.
