University Campus Ministries
Khon Kaen
YWAM
Khon Kaen is a ministry of Youth With A Mission in Thailand. Our
main focus of ministry is evangelism and discipleship on University
campuses. We are also actively involved in assisting the local churches
through visiting outreach teams, preaching, and seminars.
Khon Kaen is located in the heart of Isaan region in the northeast of Thailand, near the border of Laos. In the future we hope to also minister to the northeastern part of Thailand which has some very spiritual and physically needy areas.
Currently, YWAM Khon Kaen is ministering in key areas - Khonkaen, Mahasarakham, Khorat and Galasin and has 35 full time staff. This includes 19 Thai nationals, 13 Koreans, 1 New Zealander, 1 Canadian/Korean and 2 Indian. Nam Hyun Kim is the leader of YWAM Khon Kaen. Some of our ministries include:
Khon Kaen Campus Ministry
Our
Khon Kaen Campus Ministry focuses on 6 campuses in Khon Kaen province.
Our main focus is on evangelism of university students. Our main
vehicle that we do this through is our "YWAM Club" which
is a registered student extra curriculum activity. The clubs have
their own meeting room which is open daily. The YWAM Clubs also
host visiting outreach teams and help to organize campus outreach
activities, including Korean and English Camps. Our Khon Kaen Campus
Ministry also provides hostel accommodation and currently has 5
students staying with us from the different campuses.
International Cultural Centre
The International Cultural Center is another new ministry initiative which began last year. Our desire is to have an impact amongst the university students both as an outreach and training center. We are strategically located on a busy road close to four main university campuses.

Youth Ministry
Youth
Ministry is another area that YWAM Khonkaen is very active in. Currently
we have access to 6 schools on a regular basis. The programs at
these schools involve Bible teaching and Korean classes as well
as a 10 day Youth Discipleship Training Course (YDTC) which we run
twice a year. Future plans also include working in two other schools
nearby but due to a lack of staff, we have not been able to start
in these. Another part of the Youth Ministry is providing hostel
accommodation for high school students and every Wednesday evening
we also have a worship time.
Some of our other minstries outside of Khon Kaen are:
Galasin Campus Ministry
One of staff from the Mahasarakham Campus Ministry recently pioneered
the campus ministry in Galasin. Together with another new staff
person, they have been spending lots of time on the university campus
getting to know the students, building relationships and praying
for God to open new doorways of opportunity. The Galasin Campus
Ministry will also provide hostel accommodation for university students
and will have their own Worship Meetings very soon.
Khorat Campus Ministry
The focus of the Khorat Campus Ministry in again on evangelism and discipelship and is currently working on 4 campuses. We have a "YWAM Club" operating on one of these campuses but hope to have a club on each of the campuses as well. Right now, we host oureach teams and organise different activities such as Korean and English camps. We also provide hostel accommodation for university students.
