“God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them.”
– Hebrews 6:10
💌 Dear Friends and Supporters,
Did you know that over 3 billion people in the world still live without access to the Gospel? It’s a sobering reminder of the work still to be done—and yet, it’s also a reason for hope in the promises of God. He is moving across the nations, and He’s using people like you to make it happen.
In this update, we want to share three powerful highlights from this season:
A testimony of God’s supernatural provision
The impact of recent Outreach Teams
And preparations for our very first Discipleship Training School (DTS).
Let’s dive in!
🚚 Ministry Truck Update: The Fundraiser Was a Success!
We are overjoyed to report that God did it—again! After launching a fundraiser to purchase a ministry vehicle for YWAM Trang, we saw $20,000 raised in just two weeks. What we had planned for over several months, God accomplished in a matter of days through your generosity and obedience.
This truck is more than just transportation—it’s a tool for the Gospel. It will help carry Outreach Teams into ministry locations, support logistics for evangelistic events, and strengthen long-term discipleship efforts across Southern Thailand.
🙏 Prayer Point: Pray that this vehicle will be used to its fullest to reach those who have never heard the name of Jesus.
As we continue to grow, we’re also praying for new long-term financial partners to help sustain the base and keep the mission moving forward. If that’s something the Lord is putting on your heart, we’d love for you to follow this link and partner with us!
🌱 Outreach Teams: Fulltime Ministry
We've been hosting outreach teams since last year December, but this past month, we had the incredible privilege of hosting Outreach Teams from YWAM Bangkok and YWAM Montana. Each team spent their time here with passion, joy, and a hunger to serve—and we saw God move powerfully as a result.
Together, we scheduled over 30 hours of ministry each week per team, which included:
Evangelism in neighborhoods, markets, and schools
Community service and restoration projects
Worship nights that lifted up the name of Jesus
Supporting local churches (some of which hadn’t held services in years due to Covid)
Teaching English and leading kids’ programs
Sports outreach and relationship-building events
Their time here stirred hearts, planted seeds, and brought encouragement to the Thai Christians. Even more, we saw a genuine openness from the Thai people to hear and talk about Jesus—something we’re praying becomes more and more common in this land.
🙏 Prayer Point: Pray for the seeds sown during these outreaches to grow into lasting fruit. 🙏 Prayer Point: Pray that God would call some of these students back to serve long-term with us in Thailand!
📚 All Eyes on The DTS: A Season of Preparation
Our team is now completely focused on launching YWAM Trang’s first-ever Discipleship Training School, starting this September. Before the full school begins, students will walk through a Prep Course that sets the tone for the consecrated season ahead.
After that, the first three months—known as the Lecture Phase—will be spent right here on our campus in Trang. During this time, students will focus on:
Knowing God More and Studying His Word
Fostering a love for the nations
Pursuing growth in a discipleship community
And much more
It’s not just about classroom teaching. DTS is marked by community living, hands-on service, and powerful teaching from speakers around the world. It’s a season where students are deeply challenged yet refreshed in their faith and equipped to bring Jesus to the nations.
🙏 Prayer Point: Pray for those whom God is calling to join this school. 🙏 Prayer Point: Pray for unity and strength for our staff team. (And for future DTS students) 🙏 Prayer Point: Pray for the Holy Spirit to move powerfully in the lives of every student who comes.
💛 Thank You: You Are a Part of All That God is Doing
We say it often, and we mean it every time—you are a vital part of this mission. Your support is not just appreciated; it’s essential. Every time you give, pray, share, or encourage, you help us move one step closer to the vision God has placed on our hearts.
Our mission remains clear: to bring about the obedience of faith among the unreached nations by mobilizing, discipling, and going.
And until every tribe, tongue, and people has heard—we’ll keep going. Thank you for standing with us. We’re honored to run this race with you.
With love and joy,
Your YWAM Trang Family
