Ministries

What do I do?

Youth With a Mission (ywam)

Founded in 1960, YWAM is the largest mission organization in the world. YWAM now has over 1,100 locations in over 180 countries, with a staff of over 18,000 volunteers. The heart of YWAM is to worship God, to serve God’s global purposes, and to champion young people.

homes of hope

Starting with a one off house build in 1990 Homes of Hope has now built over 5,000 homes for families in need in 21 countries. I am currently a Builder with Homes of Hope and have been able to connect and build houses for 30+ families in Mexico and Uganda.

Discipleship training school (dts)

Starting in september I will become director of the Music and Mission DTS in Ensenada. The M+M DTS is a 5-month programme that seeks to bring people into a more intimate relationship with God. It also gives students an opportunity to develop their abilities and direct them toward a greater cause.

Music + Media

One of the things I love is being able to use my passions in my work. I am able to do sound and play guitar for worship teams at YWAM and at church in Ensenada. I am also able to use my photography and videography to create Media content for YWAM.

Base Duties

Part of my day to day work is to help keep the YWAM community functioning. Whether it is gardening, cleaning, cooking, or something else, no day is the same. This really helps to add value and become a part of the community.

Mission Adventures

Mission Adventures is a short term missions programme for teenagers. Teams do outreaches with local ministires in places such as orphanages, soup kitchens, rehab centres and also have the opportunity of building with Homes of Hope. There are also daily sessions with worship, biible study and amazing guest speakers.

Some of my ministries



What a crazy week its been.
Homes of Hope Build Team & Family
I've been able to be part of several ministries as well as learning and growing so much. I have been part of a Homes of Hope house build team where I helped to build a new home for a family of 7. They had been living in a "house" made from 4 garage doors and some plywood, their roof was made from an old advertising banner. 
It was such a blessing for me and all the team to be part of this and to see the family blessed.
Circulo
I also had the chance to be part of a Kids ministry called Circulo. Circulo works with kids in an area where many Homes of Hope have been built and is part of the follow up ministry. Its purpose is to encourage the kids in the good aspects of their lives, Guide them towards a relationship with God and teach them how valued they are. 
I helped run a fun day for them which had loads of games and a performance from some clowns who also shared the Gospel with the Kids. We then got a chance to pray with the kids too. 
Prayer Needs: 
  • Please pray for strength, protection and energy for me and all they guys here as God is working in us all in such major ways right now. 
  • Please pray for finances, I need around £500 
  • Please pray for more outreach opportunities too.
