About YWAM ZION
Come and be a part of this adventure.
YWAM Zion is a vibrant base that seeks to be constantly filled with the presence of the Lord through our worship, intercession and everyday life. We are placed strategically in the North land area of New Zealand and carry a vision to see revival spreading throughout this nation and the rest of the world. Both staff and students are being raised up as spiritual warriors with a passion to reach this generation, and fulfill the great commission.
I came here to find God and to know Jesus better . I wanted to know what my identity is in God. In Him we are pure. God is a loving father and he has only loving ways for us. We don’t have to be afraid, because God cares about us and He loves us and He wants a relationship with us! To come here was the best decision I ever made.
