WHO IS YWAM?
Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is an international
movement of Christians from many denominations dedicated to presenting Jesus
personally to this generation, to mobilizing as many as possible to help in
this task, and to the training and equipping of believers for their part in
fulfilling the Great Commission. As citizens of God's kingdom, we are called to
love, worship, and obey our Lord, to love and serve His Body, the Church, and
to present the whole Gospel for the whole man throughout the whole world.
WHAT IS YWAM
DOING IN MUIZENBERG?
YWAM
Muizenberg serves as a Multi-Cultural Platform to embrace, equip and launch
people into all Nations, to reveal Christ. Workers have gone out from
Muizenberg to Africa, India and Central Asia. Our goal is to disciple and to mobilize
young people of all ethnic backgrounds and equip them for world missions by
offering a series of excellent training courses and ministry opportunities both
locally and internationally.
Urban Ministries
Our
Urban Ministries are involved in a wide range of outreaches across the Cape
Town Metropolitan area. We focus on
reaching urban youth & children by ministering in high schools, prisons,
orphanages, reaching out to local street kids.
We also take active part in the South African National anti-drug,
anti-crime and anti-child trafficking campaigns.
Training
We
offer a variety of training programs YWAM
Muizenberg provides a location for a variety of training programs under the University of
the Nations (UofN). These training
programs equip those called of God to reach
the lost and build the Church of Christ.
School of Church Planting &
Leadership
About
three-billion people in the world do not yet know Jesus Christ. Almost
two-thirds of those people do not have the Bible in their own language or
understand how the Word of God fits in their culture. This means that over
two-billion people will not come to know Jesus unless someone is daring enough
to take God's love and move into these cultures with an aim to evangelize,
disciple, and plant churches.
In December 1988 the Holy Spirit stirred us as a
Mission to commit ourselves to pioneer church planting. Because of this YWAM
has taken on the goal of establishing church multiplication movements among
unreached people groups and the School of Church Planting & Leadership was
formed. Jesus commanded all believers to go and make disciples of all nations.
HOW DOES GERARD FIT INTO
THIS PICTURE?
My Name is Gerard
Rabo (Kiswendsida meaning Trust God), I am from Burkina Faso West Africa. I
am a full time Missionary with Youth A Mission (YWAM) since 2000 after my
Discipleship Training School (DTS) in 1999. I was leading the Discipleship
Training School in Ywam Burkina, active in Evangelism and working alongside
Local Churches through teaching, preaching and Youth Ministry. Through these
years of ministry the Lord has opened doors before me for more training to be
more equipped and effective in the Ministry.
In 2007 I went to South Africa for a Church Planting School at Ywam
Muizenberg. In April 2009 I went in the United States to do a School of
Foundation in Community Development and School Of Worship. September 2010 I
came to South Africa for my Bible School.
After a year of
training with the Biblical studies and the Titus Project I felt the Lord is
leading me to get involved with Youth With A Mission (Ywam) Muizenberg for the
coming two years with the Biblical Studies Department. Precisely I will be
working with the Mobile / Titus Project Team. The Mobile Team is equipping the
Churches in the townships and others areas of Cape Town and over the nation. By
Trainings, Bible Studies and Empowering believers with the Word of God so that
they can grow and be able to live a spiritual healthy life with the Lord and
with one another.
Every July to
September we will be taking the Biblical studies graduate students to train
them and equip them how to teach, how to prepare a teaching, preaching and how
to present it and then sent them around Africa where there is need of bible
training and to equip church leaders with the word of God.
I am pretty excited for these two years
commitment. I will be investing where my passion, my vision is: disciple and
equip the Local church that leads to true transformation. After the school I
will be busy visiting and building relationship with Pastors and churches with
the goal to start regular pastors’ prayer meetings and bring unity among
pastors and churches of the area.
