YWEA 2024
Discover YWEA
Oceania is comprised of fourteen countries and is located throughout the Central and South Pacific Oceans. This geographical area is a vast and diverse region surrounded by the world's largest body of water. While this vast region of the world is known for its beauty, natural resources, and the large body of water that divides it, there are substantial needs in the areas of Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand.
YWEA is committed to making an eternal investment in the lives of students throughout Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand. In Australia, we will plant a thriving Church in the heart of Sydney that will serve as a church-planting hub in the region. In Fiji, we will meet the most basic needs of Children, as well as supporting a Church of God Bible College that is raising up pastors and leaders to reach Fiji. Finally, in New Zealand, we will establish a Church of God Crisis Care and Ministry Training Center to equip a healthy generation of leaders. Also, we will be launching New Zealand Winterfest.
Through YWEA 2024. Church of God Youth and Discipleship, in partnership with Church of God World Missions, has developed a plan to provide this region with eternal Living Water that will have a multi-generational impact to reach the Last, the Least, and the Lost.
