2023 Has Been A Big Year for YWAM San Diego/Baja
So many guests, so many Homes of Hope, so many students, and of course, a whole lotta Mission Adventures!
7500 Guests Engaged 52000
Homes of Hope Houses
YWAM San Diego/Baja’s Homes of Hope ministry had a banner year. Nearly 500 total homes were built in 15 nations — and quite a number of homes were built in Ukraine to help those who have lost their homes in the war. Every home is given to a family in need and built by volunteers. All together this represents millions of dollars in generosity shown to those who need it most.
University of the Nations
The University of the Nations is YWAM's global university, and we offer coursework at both our Tijuana and Ensenada campuses. The foundational course is called Discipleship Training School and is the gateway to further study and/or joining YWAM staff. Each school includes an 8-12 week practical application where students put into practice on the field. In 2023, YWAM SDB students traveled to 11 different nations.
Percent of YWAM SDB Staff Who Have Attended a Secondary School
We’re very proud that so many of the staff in San Diego, Tijuana, and Ensenada have furthered their education by taking more U of N courses. Many of our staff have even received Masters degrees.
Mission Adventures
Mission Adventures is going strong. Hundreds of teenagers from dozens of churches have participated in our ministries this year. Our theme was, Taste and See (from Ps. 34), and it was a big hit with the students.
Kay Charlotte and I are grateful to be serving on staff here. We love what God is doing among us, and we are looking forward to another big year in 2024.
