Target Nations 

In an effort to increase effectiveness in our overseas outreaches and ministry, YWAM Montana adopted the concept of "targeting." Currently we are focusing on India, Nepal, Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine as our first five target nations. We are partnering with YWAM ministries in our target nations and coming alongside of them in tangible ways to help them fulfill their vision and ministry. We do this by building relationships, sending short term teams, resources, finances and staff bridge teams to fulfill specific needs in their endeavors to further the Kingdom of God.
