Transitioning to YWAM Ships Corpus Christi, TX

​

YWAM Ships Corpus Christi (YSCC) is a start-up YWAM Ship’s location in Corpus Christi that exists to bring hope through Biblically based, life-changing encounters with God and His people. They are working to develop a training hub that would be a place where people could be equipped to make His name great among the nations. This hub would be an international community, layered with training, discipleship, and multiplication at every level. The Bible and the study of it lays the foundation of the ministry. Training mariners Biblically and with nautical skills build upon that premise, equipping and deploying them to vessels within YWAM or other spheres to serve the most remote and isolated people of the world.

​

The base directors of YSCC have ask me to come and join their leadership team. When I look at the last 8 years of serving on different ministry ships, I can see how God has been preparing me for joining YSCC. It was in 2015 that God began speaking to me about making the transition from what I had been doing at YWAM Orlando to work with YWAM Ships. There were things that he was speaking to me in that season about what he wanted me to do that I can see becoming a reality at YSCC. I made the move to Corpus Christi in November of 2025 and I am so excited to see what all God has in store for me here. 

​

I am serving as the Maritime Training Director. My focus is on preparing workers to safely operate our vessels and carry the Gospel to places traditional missions often cannot reach. I am currently helping develop curriculum and establish a new training program, Introduction to Maritime Mission, which will launch in April 2026. This work is stretching, exciting, and deeply fulfilling, and I am grateful to be running in the lane God has prepared for me.

How can you help?

 

Give…I am not a paid volunteer, so I need to raise funds to cover my expenses. Having people committed to partner with me donating one time gifts or joining my monthly support team is what makes it possible for me to serve like I do. Would you consider giving to me as I help share the love of Christ? 

Click here for details on how to give.

 

Go…Want to come and volunteer for a week of more on one of the ships? We are always looking people with a willing heart to serve to come and join us as we do our part to fulfill the Great Commission. For more details contact me here.

Pray…Prayer is really needed. Here are a few prayer points:

1. Wisdom: We need wisdom from God as we are setting up ministry and working with governments.

2. Provision: We need God to provide so much: from funding, to supplies, to crew & volunteers.

3. Protection: We need God’s hand to be over the ship, its crew and volunteers.
