The YWAM KOHA brought healing and new beginnings to me. I encourage anyone who feels the calling to listen and follow. It may just change your life.

Outreach Details

We are so excited you are joining us for an outreach! The following information will give you an understanding of outreaches onboard our vessel.

While on board, you will also participate with regular housekeeping duties (e.g. dinner preparation or clean up). Clinic days are usually five days per week. Sundays are often a day off, with opportunities to be involved in a local church service. We work very closely with the local churches who are often the main healthcare providers. Several evenings a week you will have the opportunity to join social activities for everyone. There may also be opportunities in the evening to visit with the locals.

I loved working with a group of photographers, graphic designers and videographers, who are passionate about spreading the word of the amazing work YWAM Ships is doing. The communications team taught me to use the skills I learned from my University in a mission setting environment.

Living on board

Life on board a ship is a lot of fun. Living in close community will be a new experience for some and we invite everyone to work together to make it an enjoyable experience. Here’s more information about what life aboard a ship looks like:

Due to the unique nature of these outreaches, we want to help you understand the accountability structure of our organization. The ship coordinator from YWAM Ships Aotearoa will lead and facilitate the outreach. The medical coordinator will assist clinic leaders of each medical team to make sure the clinics run smoothly. The captain will oversee areas concerning navigation of the ship and safety on board.

I loved working on the YWAM KOHA because of the community feel on the ship. We felt like a floating family!
