Welcome to

YWAM Niassa

Based in Northern Mozambique, we’re a team of community-building missionaries excited to share Jesus’ gospel of love.

To know God and to make Him known in Niassa – the forgotten province of Mozambique.

Our Vision

To see the people of the Niassa province living in an intimate relationship with Jesus.

Our Mission

  • Evangelize
  • Train
  • Educate
  • Disciple
  • Care

… till this province is known as a God – fearing one!

CECAVI

At CECAVI we’re aiming to improve on the poor condition of the Mozambican school system. With dedicated teachers, and enthusiastic kids we’re sure to make a change for the better.

Lichinga Soccer

Mozambicans LOVE soccer! The names of Europe’s biggest stars stand out in the minds of local boys, and they dream of their own future careers.

We’re bringing these kids to our fields and take the opportunity to share the story of another superstar who they should definitely get to know.

Health care Rafael

Everyone needs so now and then health care. We want to help out our communities by giving this care.

We are not only giving this care, but also try to equipe people so they can take care better for them selves and their families.

Discipleship
Training School

The adventure of a lifetime; that’s what getting to know God intimately is like. A Discipleship Training School (DTS) can be your starting point. What begins with a stream, will turn into a roaring river in this six-month training.

Embark on your most adventurous journey ever and enroll in one of our (Mini) DTS classes. 

Why Join Us?

Listen for 'the Call'

Whether you’re thinking about coming to Mozambique or want to support in any other way – first listen for ‘The Call’.

YWAM’s founder Loren Cunningham saw young people flooding the world with the gospel. Jesus commanded us to GO. What is your calling?

If you feel God opening your heart for Mozambique you’re welcome to join our mission in any way you can.

What You Can Do

Come and visit us on a mission trip, support one of our missionaries in prayer and finances, spread the word… There are so many ways to help. Answer your call!

Short-term Missions

Mozambique is an amazing country, however, it has serious challenges. As YWAM Niassa we take our part in  sharing the gospel and building new foundations. In the mean time we reach out with basic health care, education and even with just plain, healthy food. There is plenty work to be done and we’re excited for you to come and help us.

Long-term Ministries

Is God calling you to a life serving in ministry? Maybe He is preparing your heart for Mozambique! With over ten different ministries we can’t wait for you to come and join our ranks. You’ll never have a dull moment in the Niassa region. From educating our beautiful kids, to helping lower the child mortality rate in one of our (mobile) clinics.

Ian & Carla Gennari

“Normal people don’t go into mission this late in life,” but this is no ordinary family! Five years ago the entire family answered their call into Mozambique and they are not looking back!

“You can’t be a missionary, without being a humanitarian.”

All our bases do more than spreading the word; we also put our words into deeds by educating hundreds of kids and by providing health care in places nobody else wants to go.
