We really appreciate and value your partnership and contributions."

      Dr. Waimbe Wahamu | Papua New Guinea

      Gov Sasindran Muthuvel | Papua New Guinea

      "We look forward to future visits from YWAM teams, building on the outcomes from their recent visit and exploring new areas for collaboration."

      Christopher J.Loeak | Marshall Islands

      "God is allowing YWAM Ships Kona and the University of the Nations Kona, to work on the same goals, as twin ministries. For 60 years or more, I’ve traveled the nations of the earth and I have seen where the hardest places are. It’s the Islands of the Pacific."
