YWAM – Colyer Family

For many years St Jude’s has raised disciples who have heard a call from God to move to foreign lands to help spread His Kingdom. The Colyer family now live in Belgium, working for the Christian organisation YWAM.

Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is an international, interdenominational missionary organisation. Internationally there are 17,000 full time staff members working in 1,100 centres in more than 150 countries. YWAM Brussels is a part of the wider YWAM body world wide and a branches of the organisation Jeunnesse en Mission ASBL (the official title in Belgium).

YWAM Belgium has now been established for more than 20 years and is well known in the country for it’s Christian workers and the varied work they have done over the years.

YWAM is an organisation that aims to capture the energy of youth (of all ages!) and mobilise as many as possible into short term mission, long term mission, effective service in churches and effective witness in every sphere of society. Primarily we group our work in three broad categories:

Evangelism

Helping the poor and needy

Training
