YWAM Ship Kona is one location in the growing network known as YWAM Ships.

This network represents independent vessels in many global YWAM locations. These vessels are named and operated uniquely and are varied in shape and size. Together we share in YWAM’s vision of seeing 40 ships linking the resources and innovations of YWAM’s University of the Nations to the needs of people via the port cities, rivers and beaches of the world. Each YWAM Ships location is a separate o

rganization with its own board of directors and local structure. We are linked through relationships. We are a movement of volunteers, primarily made up young people.

A man puts on glasses, blinks, and stops. He looks at his hands. He looks at the person next to him like he's seeing her for the first time in years.
You've probably never thought twice about reading a menu or recognizing a face across a room. For the men, women, and kids we meet on outreach, that's the difference between struggling through the day and being present in it: reading a Bible, recognizing a grandchild, doing the work that feeds a family.
Over our last three outreaches, we handed out about 1,000 pairs of glasses. That's 1,000 people seeing clearly, some for the first time in years.

Volunteers give up comfort, time, and money to serve on the Liberty. Because of that, people across PNG hear the gospel in places our crew and medical team would otherwise never reach.
Thank you for saying yes.
If you've thought about coming to see it yourself, message us. We'll tell you how to serve with us.

Meet Joshua — 27 years old, insulin-dependent diabetic, living without electricity or running water in a village here in Madang province.

Our team met him because his mother stopped three of our crew on the road during one of our clinics last year and said her son was too sick to reach the clinic. When they got to him, his foot had three deep ulcers from a recent surgery, he was almost out of antibiotics, and he had no way to test his blood sugar. His insulin was sitting in a mug of unfiltered water — the only way he had to keep it cold.

But what struck our team first wasn't any of that. It was his joy.

Before his surgery, Joshua told his own foot goodbye — said he loved having it, but if Jesus told the surgeon to take it, he'd be okay either way. He woke up with his whole foot intact.

Our medical team went back to the ship that night, packed supplies, and put together a food plan to help him heal. The next day they brought it to him, along with a plan for managing his insulin. And they prayed with him and his mother, twice, before they left the village.

Months later, not knowing what they'd find, our team went back to check on him.

Joshua was standing in his doorway. On both feet. Shoes on. No crutches. Wounds healed.

He told them he'd been baptized two months before, that he's in church now, that he's stronger than he's ever been. His faith has grown right alongside his healing.

He still needs test strips. He still needs ongoing care. But he's walking, he's smiling, and he's giving glory to God for all of it.

This is the whole reason we're here — not just to treat the wound, but to walk alongside someone until they know there's a Guide bigger than the diagnosis.

If this is the kind of thing that reminds you God still shows up — send it to someone who needs to hear that today.
