(Vision)

YWAM Perth exists because encountering Jesus changes everything. Born from Loren Cunningham’s vision to “know God and make Him known,” we’ve been running with that call since 1985 — bringing the Good News to our city, our nation, and the nations. From healthcare to Bible translation, youth work to frontier missions, we do whatever it takes so people can hear and experience the gospel. And we don’t just go — we equip others to go too, through hands - on, faith - filled training that launches people into their God - given calling. Everyone deserves the gospel, and we’ll share it every way we can.

Mercy Ministry
There's brokenness all around us - but God’s love transforms. So we’re stepping in as His hands and feet, bringing hope through healthcare, appropriate technology -whatever it takes.

Training
God has a call on this generation! From frontier missions to missional lives in their hometowns, we empower young people to step into His purposes, wherever He directs.

Evangelism
Across the street or across the world, we'll go where He leads and do as He leads to see lives impacted by Him.

history

since 1985...

Launched in 1960 from Loren Cunningham’s vision of waves of young people taking the gospel to the nations, around the globe, YWAM continues to live out the call to “know God and make Him known.”

In 1985, Peter and Shirley Brownhill, together with a small team of YWAMers, launched a new YWAM work in Perth. Today we are a multigenerational community of volunteers from many nations and denominations, working together to see God’s purposes unfold locally and globally.

From the start, we have used the lens of Acts 1:8 as an approach to ministry, seeking to simultaneously impact our city, our state, our region, and beyond.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts1:8

As leaders, we firmly believe that it is “disciples who make disciples.” Programs and courses help facilitate this, but an individual and community that is fully sold out to God and His purposes is what changes nations. The passion for raising up leaders who carry God’s apostolic mission burns brightly in our hearts.

Our strong desire is to raise up a wave of young people who will be the hands and feet of Jesus to a world that desperately needs to see Jesus lived out in their communities. We want to see this generation be secure in their identity and bold in taking the Gospel to the nations.
