YWAM San Fransisco Needs a Miracle
Youth With A Mission San Francisco has been faithfully serving the city at it’s current inner-city location since 1995. The neighbourhood that they are in has recently seen huge investment and is the latest neighbourhood in San Francisco to experience gentrification. Already many nonprofits in the area have had to close because of the increased cost of property, and YWAM San Francisco is feeling the effect with the possibility of the property they are in being sold.
YWAM believes that the location is strategic in reaching San Francisco and engaging the city with a loving God. The ministries running out of this location continue to expand with great favour and they do not believe that they are done there yet. To stay where they are they are needing to see $500,000 raised by June 9.
To prevent them having to move out of the neighbourhood YWAM San Francisco is asking for four things for us to help:
- Pray
- Endorse
- Share
- Give
You can find out how to help YWAM San Francisco on their web-site, ywamsanfrancisco.org/miracle.
YWAM Newcastle Full Occupancy of Property

On June 5 YWAM Newcastle will be hosting their major annual fundraising banquet called “Limitless”.
You can find out more about the fundraising event on the YWAM Newcastle Facebook event page, and find out more about their warehouse facility at ywamnewcastle.com.
100 Homes Burnt Down in Masiphumelele, South Africa
Last week around 100 homes burnt down in Masiphumelele in South Africa. Youth With A Mission Muezenberg is very active in the township of Masiphumelele with the YWAM Jesus House there. They have set up temporary accommodation for some of the families who have found themselves homeless.
Please continue to pray for the families and ministry there as they seek to recover from the fires.
YWAM Megacities in Kolkata
YWAM Perth has some great updates from their Megacities Outreach to Kolkata, India:
The Megacities outreach is having a significant impact on the city and people of Kolkata. In addition to workers, they also need prayer.
In social media there are grumblings from some in Kolkata who are resistant to what God is doing there. Jesus reminded us that there will be persecution, and that we should expect it as we proclaim His Truth, and we should pray for the worker and for the people hearing the truth.
Find out more at www.megacities.org.au.
YWAM Yei Update from South Sudan
Youth With A Mission South Sudan continues to be the only source of support for many forcefully and internally displaced persons in Yei and Lainya Internally Displaced Persons camps.
In Yei County YWAM continues to supply food and firewood to the people there, as well as providing pre-school and secondary school education for those whose schooling has been disrupted by the conflict.

YWAM Medical Ships Australia – New Vessel
YWAM Ships Australia will be taking possession of a replacement medical ship to help with it’s continued health work in Papua New Guinea. The 60 metre catamaran will be able to be deployed to PNG for 11-months of the year, compared to 6-months for the current ship, the Pacific Link.
The vessel will enable YWAM to increase its annual engagement with individuals by over 500 per cent due to its capacity to operate all year-round.
It could operate as a mother ship.
Patrol tenders would be launched from the vessel into remote coastal communities, transporting teams of health professionals to help build capacity in rural health workers and individuals in areas of primary health care, dentistry, optometry and ophthalmology for up to one week at a time. (source)
Even though the new vessel is larger than the current vessel, it has a shallower draft, which will allow it to enter areas that the current ship can not. The plans are to outfit it with an operating theatre, dental clinic, outpatient clinic facility, laboratory, and lecture room.
Find out more about this exciting development at ywamships.org.au.
Another Vessel for YWAM Ships ?
As YWAM Ships continues to expand it’s ministry around the world they are continuing to look at new opportunities and look to God for his provision and guidance.
At the moment one of the vessels that YWAM is looking at is the R/V Atlantis II. The asking price for ship was $3.95 million, but YWAM has the option to purchase it for $2 million. The vessel is best know for launching the first manned dive on the Titanic, but it has the potential to become a launching hub for Kingdom Ministry if God releases it to YWAM.
Please continue to pray for God’s guidance and provision as the YWAM Ships Ministry continues to grow and serve the nations.
