YWAM Cov: History
During the 2012 Olympics in partnership with the More Than Gold campaign, YWAM The King’s Lodge, based in Nuneaton, took groups to Coventry. They went to various churches to help with sports in the park, holiday clubs and other ministries that the churches had initiated. God continued to speak to some people at The King’s Lodge about being more involved in Coventry, including Be
n and Jo Foster. They watched as God opened many doors ahead of them … a local church offered a building for them to live in and use, located in central Coventry. Staff began to apply through God’s prompting. Relationships formed continued to grow, including amazing relationships between the ministers of the churches, catching up and praying together every month. Although the DTS was a success, it was felt in the summer of 2014 that this year would be a time to focus on local outreach. God continued to bring staff to the team and we now participate in many different areas of outreach, being called to 'the all and the every'. We try to reach out to the local community in continued partnership with the ministers and churches throughout the city. The Coventry team continues to be closely linked to The King’s Lodge returning once a week to participate in worship and fellowship there.
