INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENT
YWAM Whitsunday is committed not just to our locality, but to international outreach.
Since our beginning, we have sent teams to many locations across the world. Our longest engagement has been serving in PNG where our teams have run a range of educational seminars, primary health care, youth engagement, community development projects, and more.
We have worked closely in partnership with YWAM Medical Ships sending teams to volunteer in many capacities onboard the YWAM PNG.
We will continue to send teams overseas to see firsthand the challenges of others in different cultures and to learn to think outside of their scope, whilst making a positive difference.
