Vision
“Our vision is to empower local churches, cultivate community development projects and educate and release young people to fulfill their visions.”
We are currently starting a new “Youth with a Mission” (YWAM) Base in Targu Mures, Romania. There are over 500 YWAM Bases throughout the world impacting their communities, training young people and serving needs globally.
The Targu Mures YWAM Base will focus on three separate spheres: local churches, Training Schools and the community. By focusing on these areas we expect to have the greatest impact on the city as we seek to facilitate the city's growth for a better future.
Local Churches/Ministries - supported through YWAM activities, education and outreaches, not to bring them together but to bless each one of them in recognizing what they are called to do and assist them in fulfilling that calling.
There are many churches in the city which are growing and there is a real need to educate the leaders of the churches. YWAM has many programs which will
benefit and train the church.
YWAM training schools - Discipleship Training Schools, School of Worship, seminars, conferences, providing resources and practical help to the community and churches.
YWAM schools educate and empower students to work within YWAM, minister in their churches and/or branch out into new ministries.
Community - YWAM is involved in local community, mercy ministries, providing resources and developing projects.
In Targu Mures the common story from students is that they have an education
but no place to construct a future for themselves. Many of the young people leave
the country in search of work and a future. We want to help change their
mind-set for them to recognize the possibilities in their own city and region sSo that they will be inspired to improve their community.
By covering these three foundations the Base will achieve it's goal of reaching the people of Targu Mures (and Romania) while working together to build a better future for them.
