About
Mikael & Renee currently work with YWAM Belfast, a ministry of Youth With A Mission, Int’l.
Our work and our vision: We’re currently primarily involved in the Discipleship Training School (DTS) programme for YWAM Belfast. We want well-trained and well-supported staff, and desire to see DTS trainees leaving the programme in touch with their God-given gifts, a commitment to reaching the world in missions, and ability to staff with YWAM Ireland, if they chose to do so. DTS also impacts our local community and our partner ministries abroad through short-term teams and community work, so we seek to do this well, also. Mikael is also on the leadership team of YWAM Belfast.
More about what DTS is, who YWAM is, and who we are.
The vision of YWAM Belfast as part of YWAM Ireland: We are a small community seeking to be an instrument of reconciliation in the body of Christ and in the nation, expressing God’s love and commitment to his church through helping in the restoration of and equipping for its missionary mandate, and representing Jesus to this generation in a real and relevant way. We live and interact in some of the more challenging neighborhoods of Belfast, with most of our staff living around the Shankill Road – a working-class neighborhood that is somewhat infamous but often overlooked, even though it’s minutes from city centre. We’re actively engaged in partnerships with a variety of churches and ministries to reach this area Please check out the website for more info on YWAM Ireland ministries and opportunities.
Sending churches: We are supported in prayer and financially by a diverse network of people from different churches and communities. However, we consider our home congregations to be with Boulder Valley Christian Church (BVCC) in Boulder, Colorado and Lancaster County Bible Church (LCBC) in Manheim, Pennsylvania. These church communities support us as their missionaries.
