Who we are

Reaching the least-reached peoples of the earth.

YWAM Wollongong is a community of international believers committed to knowing God and making Him known. Based in Wollongong, Australia, we send teams into the 10/40 Window — North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia — where the gospel has the least reach.
