Our Vision & Mission

The YWAM Medical Ships Australia & Papua New Guinea Seal

At YWAM Medical Ships, our mission is to share our faith by helping to build healthy lives, families, and communities, ultimately contributing to the well-being of nations.

YWAM’s culture is rooted in a Christian ethos, focusing on creating an environment that embodies ‘Care, Connect, Serve, and Build.’ Through our positive community actions, we promote healthy lives, respect freedom of expression, foster a sense of belonging, and value individuals and organisations through respectful collaboration and cooperation. Our goal is to establish a safe and caring environment that respects personal choice, provides opportunities, and considers the needs of others.

YWAM MS’ sincerely held beliefs are conducted in good faith, aligning with the Australian Fellowship of Missions Centres (YWAM) and the YWAM Statement of Purpose, Core Beliefs, Foundational Values, Legacy Words, and Covenants.

John 10:10 is about living life to the full; it’s a reference from an ancient text in the Bible, written around A.D. 85. “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”

“Just living is not enough,” said the butterfly. “One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” Hans Christian Andersen

Today the focus continues to be helping young people discover life, love, and liberty.

One mission – many locations.
