YWAM Ships in Kona exists to reach the most isolated and disadvantaged with God's love. Using ships to serve is not just a good option for these locations, it is the ONLY option. Islands without airports, and shorelines with no roads or bridge access, are limited to ships able to reach them and provide services. We partner with local authorities and go by invitation only, developing long term and sustainable partnerships. We sail to isolated places, set up clinics ashore, and conduct surgeries on board for free. From our founder to our janitor, our staff does not get a salary but raise their own support through their circle of influence.
