YWAM Harpenden — Highfield Oval, Harpenden AL5 4FB, UK
Hi, We are Adi, Catherine, Asher and Noah.
We come from New Zealand, Grenada and the UK, and are currently based in England with Youth With A Mission in Harpenden.
Our family has a heart to train Christians to be able to study and understand their Bibles, so that they can take their skills and knowledge to the world.
At YWAM Harpenden we are involved with leading and staffing a 3-month Bible school which trains and sends young people to the nations. This school trains people how to recognise and study each type of literature in the Bible, to understand the people to which these were written, the contexts in which they were written, and how to apply wha they learn to our lives today. The Bible can be used to impact and change every sphere of life and society.
We also support other locations throughout Europe as they pioneer Bible schools, including Ukraine, France and Germany, as well as helping with online school support for those who are unable to attend one of our residential schools.
As well we are involved with backbone ministries on our campus including personnel, reception, property services, IT, management team and teaching. We serve where our skills and time are needed to help our campus function and send out young people into missions.
As members of YWAM we reach out to our local community, both in Harpenden and in a larger, less affluent city nearby.
