YWAM Lausanne - A challenge of faith

JEM Lausanne is a multigenerational story. Currently, we train more than 500 students annually, offering around 20 different schools, some of which are offered several times a year. For example, we have four DTSs per year. Many of our students then go on to practical phases in different countries. In 2024, we saw more than 700 conversions through our teams.

In 2025, we face a significant challenge. Two of our key and iconic buildings, the Annex and Clos Mélèze, require major renovation work, having never been renovated since YWAM purchased the property 56 years ago. Our main building, the Chalet, also needs major renovations. These buildings are at the heart of our ministry and play a crucial role. In order for these facilities to serve us well into the future, we are trusting God to provide $1 million in 2025 so that we can begin the necessary renovations by the end of the year.

In February, we launched a faith campaign to trust God to release the necessary funds. We began by collecting an offering among ourselves during a day of prayer, where $30,000 was pledged. In May, we organized another collection and raised nearly 6,000 Swiss francs. This is a great encouragement to us, a first fruit from our own staff for what is to come. But we need your help.
