THE CARIBBEAN'S NEWEST YWAM BASE  

Santiago The Monument in Santiago

YWAM CARIBBEAN'S NEWEST CENTER - SANTIAGO!

An hour's drive south of Puerto Plata is the Dominican Republic's second largest city, Santiago de los Trenta Caballeros, with a population of about 1,000,000. Santiago came to life when Columbus had a fort built on the banks of the Yaque del Norte River to protect gold mining being done in the area. In 1504 Spanish farmers settled in this fertile center of the Cibao Valley and began farming tobacco. Today the area is still the most important to the Dominican Republic agriculturally - particularly for livestock, tobacco, coffee, and fruit farming.

The local churches a plenty of young people who are being called to the nations, but don't know what to do with their call. Isn't a missionary someone who COMES to us? 

Though the local church doesn't have a long history of sending out missionaries, it's beginning to happen. We are here to equip, moblilize and train a new wave of Latin missionaries going to the Unreach of the World.

 To know God and make Him known is our Passion.

Our vision:

• Disciple and mentor young people through SUYO (Kings Kids) ministry - using the arts to reach the lost.
• Raise up Dominican/Latin missionaries to GO - through mentoring and discipleship
• Encourage pastors and Christian leaders to participate in the Great Commission
• Help Dominican staff establish their missionary support team
• Communications office - written, video, graphics
• Train youth leaders in discipleship and mentoring of young people
• Continue to serve as Frontier Missions Coordinator to the other other Caribbean centers
• Continue to serve as YWAM Caribbean's Laision for the University of the Nations
• Run equipping seminars and schools for equipping Latin missionaries
• Produce a daily radio broadcast for the English Caribbean, via TWR
