Hiponas in Missions

and Who created us mankind, when we ask the question to the one who originally designed us then we will know why. As a couple we have been working for Youth With A Mission (YWAM) since 2008. What is YWAM International?:
It is an international missions movement focusing on three major ministries:

-Evangelism
-Mercy Ministries
-Training Missionaries (UofN) University of the Nations

At present we as YWAM has:

-30,000 volunteers over 180 countries
-800+ locations worldwide
-International
-Interdenominational
-Our Motto: “To know God and Make Him Known”

All of YWAM workers are called to volunteer their time, resources & talents, and no one gets paid. The organisation does not give a salary, not even the founders of the mission. But rather we get our support from a team of ministry partners. That could be from:

-Friends, Family
-Church
-Acquaintances
-And some other forms

Local YWAM Base:
We as a couple have worked in many YWAM locations, I worked in the Philippines for 3 years, then to the US, then to Nepal for 5 Years. My wife as well for her first 3 years in South Africa, then to the US. Then she met me and we have worked in Nepal as a married couple for 5 years. Now at present we work in YWAM Amsterdam. Main aim is to serve the city:

Amsterdam is home for the nations. There are over 180 nationalities living in the city and the need is big. Our present ministry is amongst:

-The Cleft Team: Men and Women behind the windows in the Red Light District.
-We have Hidden treasures (working amongst the homeless).
-Evangelism in the city centre.
