A New Ship

On March 11, 2019, an amazing vessel was gifted
by the owners and operators of Stoney Creek Shipping in Tauranga, New Zealand. This vessel is perfectly suited to serve the isolated islands of the Pacific and was in operation until December 2018 serving Pitcairn Island and surrounding locations under contract to the British Government. Stoney Creek Shipping Ltd has been most generous with the donation of the ship, including fuel in her tanks at the time of transition.

This vessel opens a new season for New Zealand ministering to her Pacific Rim neighbors with ships. It is an amazing gift and is being met with excitement and faith at what God will do in the upcoming weeks and months. The process of re-naming this ship and preparing it for service as a YWAM vessel is now underway.

We are ready for marine professionals!

If you have marine qualifications and would like to consider volunteering on board, please contact us here 

Interested in joining as a general volunteer as we prepare the vessel?

YWAM is an all volunteer mission, with each staff and crew member raising their own financial support from individuals and churches.
