Base Life

At YWAM Constanta you will find people from many nations- Norway, Sweden, Romania, America, and Holland! With this mix of cultures and our different personalities, our base has become a colorful place! Do to our limited housing most staff live in different areas of the city. We meet together as a ministry team twice a week- Monday mornings for potluck breakfast and worship and Fridays for “Community Days” which involved prayer, teaching, and serving practically together. It is our desire that our staff function as a team of people committed to seeing every ministry thrive and grow. This means that many times we have café staff in the Day Center, administration staff helping with the Café and the Street Team interceding for the DTS! We are blessed by this connectedness that we share and enjoy the fruit that comes from it.

Weekly ministry events include: our Day Center program which is running 5 days a week from 12-5pm; New Wine Café open from 7:00-10:00pm on Thursdays and Fridays; young women’s discipling ministry in the evenings; Street People’s ministry on Tuesday afternoons and Thursday evenings; Discipleship Training School teaching on weekdays from 8:30am-1:00pm (July-Sept.); Prayer Ministry on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00-10:00am.

Besides these regular events you can find YWAM staff serving in local church ministries and reaching out at the universities and to children in poor neighborhoods, teaching English and music, and even singing in the streets! Through all of these events our desire is to shine the light of Christ into all areas of society- that each heart may come to know Him and experience His life.

Having Fun:
Not only do we enjoy working together but we also enjoy relaxing together! We often meet together for birthdays, holidays and other social events. For many, our YWAM team is a second family, especially for staff who are far from home. Not only are relationships of most importance in the Kingdom of God but also here in Romania one can find that relationships are the key to getting anywhere! Therefore our time together is valued and enjoyed! How would you like to join the family???

Our Base Building:
YWAM Constanta currently occupies three buildings in Constanta. One for our children’s Day Center, another for our future Girls Home, and a third, our Base Building, is where most of YWAM Constanta activities are happening. Located in a residential neighborhood, 3 minutes walk from the Black Sea, the Base has served as a ministry house since 2001. The first floor houses New Wine Café. On the second, main floor, we have our office, one bedroom for guests, kitchen and living room where most of our meetings are held and meals are eaten. On the third floor we have two more guest rooms and a beautiful terrace where we hold many gatherings in the summer.

As you might imagine, YWAM Constanta is outgrowing its facilities. For years now we have been praying for a larger facility and one that will house all of our ministries under one roof. We also believe that it is time for us to be in another location that is more central and strategic in the city, giving us better access to those we minister to. Please pray with us as we seek the Lord for a new Base building.
