YACHTS FOR LIFE
YACHTS FOR LIFE
Using yachts to transport people and supplies to remote places, we give isolated island communities the opportunity to make a significant contribution to life as God has intended.
MORE INFORMATION:
Yachts for Life was born as a ministry of YWAM Furnace NZ, and now partners with us as an associated ministry. Teams from our YFNZ community have engaged in training young people in Biblical Worldview and given them an opportunity to participate in bringing community transformation in remote island communities.
We work to empower remote Pacific Island communities through sharing of knowledge based on Biblical principles relating to every sphere of life, using sailing vessels as the means of transport for international expertise.
