The YWAM Marromeu set up:

We do not have a 'base' in the traditional sense of the word. All of us live in our own homes, the idea being that we are 'planted' in the community for witness and testimony.

We value:

• The importance of learning the local language (Portuguese and Sena).
• The importance of learning the culture as a way of building deep and meaningful relationships with the local people.
• Humble service that deliberately seeks to lift up the local people.
