What We Do »
 Global
Sending and supporting missionaries around the world
We in YWAM England believe
in trying to meet the needs of the world we live in (go to Who We Are for more on this).
To fulfil our part in reaching the world with the love of Jesus, YWAM
England has a number of particular overseas areas that we focus on:
These are listed in more detail below.
   
Relief and Development (R&D) - Harpenden
We
recruit professional personnel to work both long-term and short-term in R&D projects overseas, and provide encouragement and support. We also raise
funds for R&D projects around the world.

Africa Field Support Office (AFSO) - Harpenden
The mission of the AFSO is "To encourage, equip and assist YWAM's African leaders to see their God-given visions become reality". This we do through a combination of field-based training and consultancy; UK-based fundraising and communication; and recruitment of key expatriate staff willing to serve African projects and ministries. We are currently involved with HIV/AIDS projects, literacy programmes, streetchildren work and other projects in Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Congo amd Mozambique, and expect to take on projects in Angola and Zimbabwe within the next 12 months.

issues.
