Ministries
In YWAM Ternopil, every staff have built the chance to share the gospel in their own passion and calling. We offer several opportunities to join us either with outreach teams, as volunteer or staff.
Light in the darkness
Nobody at the base expected to find that new vision and new direction at such cost. Since the beginning of the war the base became a shelter for the refugees from all over Ukraine, it was filled with different people with different heartbreaking stories. All the staff and friends of the YWAM base worked hard and did their best to let all those broken and desperate people feel some peace and safety.
During this time we partnered with so many amazing people, who helped us to sustain the base and to provide for all the needs that people had. We were also able to send over 340 tons of food, mattresses, hygiene products, medicine and clothes to the east and south of Ukraine. We received approximately 1400 people, and fed more then 10 000. we were able to evacuate people and send them across the border to the safer places. And all this was possible because of people like you, because you decided to help us.
During this time we obtained almost 50 new volunteers, who first came to the base as refugees. We are working together and we give out more then 1000 product bags every week, we send some to different areas of Ukraine where there is a lack of food and we also deliver food bags to refugees the local towns and villages. We try to meet any recent needs that locals and refugees are having.
