About US
- History of YWAM Newcastle
In late 1991 God led Rod and Anne Thorpe to Newcastle, NSW, to pioneer a new YWAM Australia campus. They, in turn, asked David and Carolyn Stephenson to pray about a future in Newcastle and God made it very clear this was His plan. YWAM Newcastle was officially opened in July 1992. They began training with the Mission bridge course [a part-time DTS], moving on to their first DTS in 1994. Dave and Carrie took over leadership of the base in 1996 as Rod and Anne prepared to be sent out to the Middle East. 26 years, several properties and countless schools later.
We dream of plumbers, teachers and politicians, artisans, journalists and mothers, students, refugees and all individuals walking with God as his valued sons and daughters, filled with love for all people; where societies are reshaped in God’s image and character, with its individuals, families and institutions functioning as wells of inspiration and influence.
We believe that all Christians are called to “go into all the world and make disciples”. This looks different for each of us; whether you feel called to a third world nation or your workplace, YWAM Newcastle Australia is a gateway into the world of missions. Through our training, we hope to empower others to live with the heart and mindset of an agent of positive change, in whichever arena of influence they find themselves.
“We have seen God move in countless ways since 1992, in the youth of our city and right across our world. His faithfulness to us has been unwavering and we rejoice over every transformed life. We are committed to helping even more people in the years to come, through training and equipping, through youth development, and through the delivery of medical services and training to Papua New Guinea.”
