Transitioning to YWAM Ships Corpus Christi, TX
​
YWAM Ships Corpus Christi (YSCC) is a start-up YWAM Ship’s location in Corpus Christi that exists to bring hope through Biblically based, life-changing encounters with God and His people. They are working to develop a training HUB that would be a place where people could be equipped to make His name great among the nations. This HUB would be an international community, layered with training, discipleship, and multiplication at every level. The Bible and the study of it lays the foundation of the ministry. Training mariners Biblically and with nautical skills build upon that premise, equipping and deploying them to vessels within YWAM or other spheres to serve the most remote and isolated people of the world.
​
The base directors of YSCC have asked me to join their leadership team. Through prayer, I made the decision and have committed to join their staff team. When I look at the last 8 years of serving on different ministry ships, I can see how God has been preparing me for joining YSCC. It was in 2015 that God began speaking to me about making the transition from what I had been doing to work with YWAM Ships. There were things that he was speaking to me in that season about what he wanted me to do that I can see becoming a reality at YSCC. I am so excited to join their staff and see what all God has in store for me there.
​
Currently, I have spent the last few months back at home in Wildwood, FL working on raising the needed funding to make the move to Corpus Christi. With working on 6 different ships over the last 8 years, I have not been able to have much time to really focus on increasing my monthly support team. Now with moving back to the US, and with the cost of living in the US much higher than it was when I was living here last, I need to see a signifiant increase in funding. In July of 2024, I began a time of focused fundraising. Once God increases my support team to the place where I have reached my needed budget, I will make the move to Corpus Christi. I am praying that happens by the beginning of 2025. For more information on how you can join my team click here.

How can you help?
Give…I am not a paid volunteer, so I need to raise funds to cover my expenses. Having people committed to partner with me donating one time gifts or joining my monthly support team is what makes it possible for me to serve like I do. Would you consider giving to me as I help share the love of Christ?

Pray…Prayer is really needed. Here are a few prayer points:
1. Wisdom: We need wisdom from God as we are setting up ministry and working with governments.
2. Provision: We need God to provide so much: from funding, to supplies, to crew & volunteers.
3. Protection: We need God’s hand to be over the ship, its crew and volunteers.
