Our vision is to see people and families restored, discipled, equipped and mobilised into the world, to be of service to God and their nation.
SCHOOLS
YWAM Matamata runs a Family Discipleship Training School, Family Ministries School and a Crossroad Discipleship Training School each year. This next year 2021 we will run both these school twice depending on demand. Due to Covid-19 we have had to postpone our 2020 July DTS until January 2021. We will run the schools side by side. The July 2021 DTS will still run as normal as well as the possibility of an FMS then too. These schools focus on serving and ministering to families, adults at the crossroads of life, and young people. We are located at beautiful Crystal Springs in Matamata at the base of the Kaimai Ranges not far from Hobbiton. We have a unique set-up with child care and base-school on site.
OPPORTUNITIES
YWAM Matamata is run by a dedicated volunteer staff with a wide range of ministry and professional backgrounds. Staff serve in a community of people with a heart for God and the nations. We have openings for base, school and short-term staff (mission builders) along with other opportunities.
Our 2020 DTS has been postponed until January 2021
