This morning was one of those moments we’ll remember for a long time.

We had the joy of welcoming Tom and Diana Hallas, and what a gift it was to sit together, hear their stories, and learn from their journey. Listening to stories from the early days of YWAM and the pioneering years in Australia reminded us of God’s faithfulness through every season.

There’s something deeply inspiring about being around people who have spent their lives saying “yes” to God. Their stories, wisdom, and faith challenged and encouraged us in so many ways.

One of the biggest takeaways from the morning was the importance of learning to hear God’s voice and being part of a community that is committed to listening, obeying, and following Him together.

We left feeling encouraged, inspired, and grateful. What an honor it was to spend time with these incredible men and women of faith who continue to point others to Jesus through their lives.

Thank you, Tom and Diana, for sharing your hearts with us.

The Bible is more than a book—it’s God’s story.

When we think about missions, we naturally think about going, serving, and sharing the Gospel with others. But before we can effectively share God’s message, we need to understand the heart behind the message.

Studying the Bible isn’t simply about gaining more biblical knowledge or memorizing verses. It’s about discovering who God is, understanding His character, following His story of redemption, and recognizing His heart for humanity.

The more we know God through His Word, the more prepared we are to make Him known to others.
The world doesn’t just need people who know the Bible. It needs people who know God.

In our new blog, we explore why studying the Bible matters and how understanding God’s story shapes our discipleship, our mission, and the way we share the Gospel.

Know the Word. Know His heart. Make Him known.

Have you ever felt called by God, but then thought, “My English isn't good enough”?
Learning a language is important. It helps us connect, understand culture, and communicate better. But sometimes what should be a tool becomes an excuse.
What if learning a language is already part of the mission?
You walk into a classroom and suddenly you're surrounded by people from different nations, cultures, and backgrounds. The nations you've been praying for might be sitting right beside you.
A conversation becomes an opportunity.
A friendship becomes an opportunity.
A classroom becomes an opportunity to share the Gospel.
Yes, learn the language.
Yes, prepare yourself.
But don't wait until you're perfect to obey God.
Your accent is not your limitation.
Your current level is not your calling.
The nations don't need perfect people.
They need people willing to say yes.

Sometimes the mission doesn't begin after language school.
Sometimes it begins inside the classroom.

The Kingdom of God has always advanced through pioneers—people willing to step into the unknown and follow God's call. But before we can impact nations, we must first know the God who sends us.

At YWAM Lives and Tribes, we believe that pioneering and discipleship go hand in hand. Vision needs foundation. Passion needs direction. Mission needs roots.

That's why our Discipleship Bible School (DBS) is more than a Bible course. It's an opportunity to immerse yourself in God's story, understand His heart for the nations, grow in authentic community, and be equipped for a life of purpose and mission.

In a generation searching for meaning, we believe deep biblical foundations and genuine discipleship are more important than ever. The strongest pioneers are those who know God's Word, walk closely with Him, and grow alongside others.

If you're hungry to know the Bible more deeply, strengthen your faith, and discover your place in God's mission, this could be your next step.

Open doors

I’ve heard stories of people being the first missionaries to places, sharing the gospel where it’s never been. I never imagined I’d have that opportunity, the privilege of sharing the name of Jesus to children who did not know Him.

While on our DTS outreach in Thailand, our team was given the authority to teach a full day program to a Buddhist school. Over 100 students observed our dramas, testimonies, and an explanation of the Gospel! At the end, we even had the chance to pray for all of them!
The hunger to know Jesus among these children was strong! Even the teachers remarked that they wanted us to come back, and the students shared how powerful it was to hear about this freedom and love of Jesus.

This school in Phang Nga Thailand has now
been marked by Jesus, and it wouldn’t have been possible if our YWAM team and contacts did not obey the Lord and His Holy Spirit!! A simple act of obedience can transform hundreds of lives!
