The Big News

Dear Friends and Family,

It’s time to announce our big move to Queenstown, New Zealand. We know personally how Youth With A Mission (YWAM) can radically change lives through their discipleship training schools and we are committed to help establish a new training center halfway across the world! We have felt a call to missions for several years and have waited for the right opportunity. When Andy and AJ Scalas (the directors of the new training center) came to visit the Santa Ynez Valley, we made an instant connection with them as they shared their vision for Queenstown. Our relationship grew and we were invited to join them in pioneering the new YWAM center. For the past year we have prayed for  confirmation from the Lord and together we feel God is releasing us to go!

Jeremy and Lindsey’s Role

In Queenstown, we will be on the main leadership team with several responsibilities that include starting and staffing a Discipleship Training School (DTS) in January 2015. The school consists of a three month lecture phase and a two month cross-cultural outreach. For the lecture phase, speakers from all over the world will travel to our school to teach on specific topics with the purpose of students growing in their relationship with God. We will be discipling young adults and training them to become leaders and missionaries. Our role also includes equipping our staff with leadership skills and building relationships with the local churches in Queenstown. We also have a longterm cross cultural role of developing relationships with the locals in places like Papua New Guinea where we will be sending teams and visiting regularly. Our outreach goals are to, evangelize the unreached, equip their local churches with necessary biblical resources, and to encourage them in the faith. We desire to live out the great commission from

 Matt 28:19 “...go and make disciples of all nations...”  

Why Queenstown?

For decades, Youth With A Mission’s leadership has been praying for a team to plant a center in Queenstown. Over two million travelers visit every year making it a great place for evangelism. Queenstown will be an attractive pull for young people looking to take a DTS. We desire to use it’s popularity to train them for missions and reach out to the tourists throughout the region. Queenstown is also in a great geographical location to efficiently send outreach teams to South East Asia and the South Pacific.
