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.

Uganda!



Noun: Wanderlust
          |'wón‑duˌlúst| 
- Very strong or irresistible impulse to travel
- =itchy feet

 No one really knows how many countries are in the world, mainly because not everyone can agree on the definition of what a country is or how to clarify that. One thing for sure is that I want to go to as many as I can. 

 Ever since I can remember I have loved travel, the excitement of stepping onto a plane or bus or train or boat and not knowing what awaits me at the other end. Experiencing new cultures, traditions and the hospitality of people all over the globe fills me with joy. 

 One of the things I love about being a missionary is the chance I have to travel with a purpose. Not only feeding that wanderlust inside me but combining that with sharing hope, value and love with others around the world. 

 So far I have been able to visit 13 out of roughly 196 countries. (5% of the world) This December I get to add another 1 to that list when I travel to Uganda for 2 months to lead an outreach team of 12 people. 

 During our time in Uganda my team will mainly be partnering with the work of Hope Child Care Programme and YWAM Jinja. 
We will be serving with many ministries out in Uganda such as working with orphanages, working with victims of HIV/Aids, serving communities, building a house for a family in need and many things in between. 

 Thank you so much for your continued support in helping me serve the nations!
