Events and Seminars

There’s always a lot happening at YWAM Perth! Besides our ongoing ministry and training programs, we host events, seminars, camps, short-term missions trips and more. Most of these carry no prerequisite training and are open to the public, certain ages, or cohort and career groups. There are many opportunities to be a part of what God is doing — to be inspired, to be equipped, to serve.

Friday Night Meeting is our weekly public meeting for the community, held Fridays at 7:30pm. Please note that due to social distancing measures in response the COVID-19 virus, we have suspended our Friday Night Meetings until further notice.

Medical professionals fuelled by God’s heart for the nations

Your healthcare skills are needed in the nations! The Missions Equip Seminar encourages a holistic approach to health care and enables medical professionals to apply God’s solutions and strategies to meet needs in the nations. We recognise that meeting someone's physical needs only solves part of the problem. This course helps you discover how you as a Christian medical worker can bring true holistic health to individuals and communities. You can combine skill and faith, and see God move!

Week 1 – Dr Sujai Suneetha: Medical Missions in the Developing World

We look at issues such as skin diseases, diarrhoea, malaria and respiratory illnesses. Afternoons will include applicable, related workshops

Week 2 - Peter Brownhill: Healing Power

Learn about prayer and the ways of God in healing the sick, not limiting ourselves to just our own skills. Afternoon workshops include opportunities to engage in focused prayer in mock clinics and more.

Week 3 - Shirley Brownhill: Leadership of the Holy Spirit; Servant Leadership; Unity and Community Approach

Understand the role of the Holy Spirit in addressing needs and adopting a Christ-like approach to care. Workshops provide opportunities to practice relating cross-culturally and applying what is being learned.

Week 4 - Team-Led Prayer and Research

As we prepare for our outreach location, we will spend time in prayer, worship and research. We will learn about the physical and spiritual needs of the people we are going to and plan for how to address them appropriately.

Following our four weeks in Perth, we’ll take what we’ve learned into the nations. On outreach we will serve in nations in the Indian Ocean region where there are many of the world's poorest people. We will engage in mobile clinics, teaching and helping medical professionals who need up-skilling. Outreach is an opportunity to practically and prayerfully bring God’s life to needy communities.

There is no DTS prerequisite for this seminar. It is open to all medical professionals. Register for this seminar at https://secure.ywamperth.org.au/seminar.asp

Physical and spiritual healing through short-term medical missions

The Medical Boomerang (or MedBoom) facilitates short-term missions trips for medical professionals. From nurses to dentists, doctors to pharmacists, physiotherapists to midwives – we gather medical teams to tangibly demonstrate the love of God in the nations. Many people live in crisis situations with little medical advice or technology – and our skills are needed! Whether it's in the crowded alley of an Asian slum, under the shade of a tree in rural Africa, or in a remote community in the Kimberley, we set up with the resources available to us. Our aim is that each patient would have the opportunity to have their needs assessed, receive the best treatment available, hear about the love of Jesus and receive prayer.

YWAM Perth has ministered in health care for decades in under-resourced areas. Through our network of relationships and previous experience, we are able to help medical professionals utilise their gifts and skills quickly and effectively. In the orientation portion of MedBoom you will learn about your outreach location and how to best serve the people you'll meet. You will spend time with your teammates, getting input on team dynamics, going cross-cultural and using your skills. This time includes workshops on how to set up and run a mobile clinic and pharmacy in low-resource settings, and learn about God's ways in healing.

Exposure to the need in these communities compels us to grow, hear from God, and apply His understanding. You will gain a greater dependence on God as you adapt in less-resourced areas. As you go, you will share the gospel, teach and train locals, and learn from your teammates. It's always exciting to be able to work together, having teammates as resources to consult with in order to give a holistic care package to each patient. You will learn new things and are able to teach from your knowledge, in turn. Together we facilitate mobile clinics and engage in local ministry in low-resource settings. You can be a part of God’s desire to bring holistic healing to the poor and marginalised!

There is no DTS prerequisite for this outreach. It is open to all medical professionals. Register for this Medical Boomerang at https://secure.ywamperth.org.au/seminar.asp.
