The Lynch's Serving as full time missionaries at YWAM Nelson

Annie and I came to New Zealand in 2012 after pastoring in the United States for 20 years. We have been serving with YWAM ever since. God clearly led us here through miraculous circumstances and knit our hearts to the land of Aotearoa. We spent eight years serving at the ywam base in Oxford, NZ staffing and leading a Fathers Love Crossroads Discipleship Training school. We also staffed A schools and a B school with Father Heart Ministries. While housesitting for some friends in 2017 God spoke to us at the same time to bring a ywam presence to the Nelson region. After two years of prayer and fasting we moved to Nelson with a team of two other amazing couples to pioneer YWAM Nelson. In August of 2019 we were able to obtain Garindale Estate, a large facility that sits up on a hillside overlooking the ocean. You can read about the miracles that brought us to this location on our Facebook page. But in a nutshell, we had a newly created YWAM trust that had the large sum of $125.00 in it. Through many miracles we were able to purchase a $l.6 million dollar location in one weeks time. In the nine months that we have been here our faithful Father has helped us complete a DTS (even with the global pandemic and shut downs), a Kings Kids School and are starting another DTS on September 6th.

We love what we do as we watch lives transformed and hearts healed. Equipping people of all ages and ethnicities to share the gospel in New Zealand and the nations of the earth . As we go, our financial support and prayer support comes from individual like you who believe in what we do. Thank you so much for your prayers and gifts as we work together in partnership together to bring Gods kingdom to Aotearoa and the ends of the earth.
