History and Vision

Bill and Val Landis have worked with several teams to start YWAM centers in Grenada, Barbados and Jamaica. They have also helped many other initiatives in and out of the Caribbean. The first missionaries from the Caribbean began their work in 1843, but the number of missionaries from this area has declined since then. Bill and Val’s calling as apostolic leaders is to “re-dig” the wells of missions and revival in the Caribbean so that missionaries can once again be sent from this region.

In 2015, Bill and Val moved back to Barbados to relaunch the YWAM ministry there. Their focus has been rebuilding the discipling community and laying a foundation so that future generations of Caribbean leaders can continue to grow.

The Landises love to partner with the body of Christ to mobilize, train, and send young people as missionaries and into the spheres of society to become “world changers.” They have a passion to mentor, coach and train young people in their calling. Bill’s strengths are being visionary and pioneering new initiatives. Val’s strengths are in pastoral care through mentoring and coaching.
