We want to change the way we think and operate from the traditional idea of "supporters" to "ministry partnerships" where many people can contribute in many, creative ways (not just $) to uphold and expand our missions work here.
This picture went around social media and I believe it communicates something crucial - we cannot do this alone! |
While I do not believe this picture insinuates that the Church herself does not save plenty of sheep on her own - she certainly does! However, it shows that without "ministry partners" our work here in French Polynesia can only go so far or will have limited impact.
We are looking for as many people as possible to partner with our vision & mission here in French Polynesia.
Here are three simple ways you can partner with us and YWAM Tahiti.
Here are three simple ways you can partner with us and YWAM Tahiti.
Prayer & Intercession
"Prayer is the catalyst for worldwide transformation. It incites the angels, restrains the darkness, and releases nations into their destiny."
Prayer is always our # 1 need even above finances. Prayer partners help wage the spiritual warfare we battle.

Material & Financial
"If you want to feel rich just count all the things you have money can't buy."
There are many ways you can help depending on your specific means or ability to give beyond simply financial support.

Ways To Join In Prayer
1) Join our "Prayer Shield" that receives specific prayer requests every few months. If you would like to receive this email please write to alohaking@hotmail.com and you can begin praying right away for our latest needs/requests.
2) Multiply prayer We are always looking for ways to multiply prayer efforts. You can pass along/communicate our prayer needs and get people praying for us who would otherwise never hear about us. Eg. one of our ministry partners in Canada relays our prayer needs to her church's "prayer chain" every time she receives them.
Or you can host a prayer meeting for us with your cell group or friends. If you are interested, please contact us and we can provide you with a custom outline of prayer points to fit your specific setting.
3) We keep an updated list of general prayer needs here on our website. Check it out each month and pray for what God is doing. We also try to communicate the results of your prayers NOT just our needs. You can check out our prayer updates here.
Please consider reporting back.
Knowing people are praying for us is so reassuring however we also crave feedback! Please, please, please let us know what you prayed for, what the Holy Spirit pressed upon you, a prophetic word or picture, Scripture verses, etc.
Email: alohaking@hotmail.com or fill out the contact form here to send us any reports or feedback from your intercession times.

Relational Care Ideas
1) Encouragement
It can get lonely "out here" and encouragement goes a long way. Use your gifts to pass along something the Lord has blessed you with. Be creative!
2) Communication/Advocacy - this is the area we would like to see grow as it is very crucial to multiplication.
3) Care packages are a missionary's best friend. Being overseas means doing away with all the goodies from home. There are also things we need or can use for us & the children that are only found in North America.
If you would ever like to send a package please click here for shipping details and gift ideas for the whole family.
4) Pastoral resources or visits
Have you read a good book or listened to a good teaching lately? Pass that along to us and send us the link or even a copy of that book; or maybe you have a discount code/coupon to something we would benefit from.
Any resources to do with family, parenting, missions, ministry or the Christian faith.
OR if you are really keen, we would love to host you. We have had one friend visit so far and it was a HUGE blessing. We promise you will have a great time.
