Structure of our ministries
-
Care
We run local ministries in the area of family and children education that reach out to people who need help in their relationships at home. For this purpose we have started a family center as a new project.
-
Campus
We have been running DTS and Family Ministry Schools, but we are planning to expand the range of UofN courses offered on our campus in the near future.
-
Connect
We have much interaction with local people through the kindergarten, the Family Workshop and other programs. Most people here are brought up either agnostic or atheist. We seek to share Jesus through our friendships and also start and support cell groups for fresh believers.
-
Community
Even though our activities and ministries are very diverse – they are born out of the place of community before the cross. We place high value on worshipping God and praying and listening together.

The overall structure of our ministry is based on YWAM's three-fold approach
- Evangelism
- Training
- Mercy Ministries
