TESTIMONIALS

My family and thousands of others live in the beautiful islands all across the Pacific Ocean. We are part of a very diverse region with many different languages communities and cultures. However, we live with one challenge; we are isolated. ~ Michael Dokta

YWAM staff volunteer During one of our trips to Papua New Guinea, we met a man named Abraham, He lived in an isolated island just north of Madang. He hasn’t seen for more than 17 years and because of that, he lost his livelihood, he lost hope, his entire village couldn’t wait for the ship to come in. After a simple 30 min operation on his eyes, his vision was restored. In addition to Abraham, 10 others had their eyesight restored. ~ Brett Curtis (YWAM Ships Kona Director)

I remember the first time I’ve seen a blind person see again and in that moment it was so much more than their sight being repaired. It was a restoration of their hope. That’s why it is so worth it. ~ Emily West (Nurse volunteer)
