YWAM Music Toowoomba is passionate about discipling, equipping, empowering and releasing musicians, bands, individuals and teams into their God given callings. Our dream, is unleashing yours..
For years we have carried a vision in our hearts of establishing a community of artists and support staff who are passionate about Jesus and want to use their gifts to bring His Kingdom to all people. While visiting Toowoomba in 2010 to serve with 'Easterfest' - God spoke very clearly that we were to establish a YWAM base in Toowoomba. In the early months of 2011 we were sent out from YWAM Brisbane to pioneer what is now YWAM Australia's youngest base Toowoomba is Australia's second largest inland city. Perched on top of 'The Great Dividing Range', Toowoomba is located 120km west of Brisbane. Known as the 'Garden City' and home to Australia's largest Christian Music festival, 'Easterfest', Toowoomba services a large region stretching from the Lockyer Valley to the rich farm lands of the Darling Downs. It is the Education Hub of the Darling Downs region and blessed with many wonderful Churches who enjoy a strong bond of unity, working together to reach the lost and helping those in need.
School of Worship (SOW) leaders from Europe, M.East and Africa gathered in Holland in early November for a first-ever "DNA" meeting. The purpose was to understand and embrace the original calling and mandate of these schools, as well as to build relationships among SOW school leaders. The three days passed quickly as SOW founders Bob & Kathy Fitts shared the story of how God led them to start the School of Worship in 1990. Also on the agenda were others who had picked up the torch and established solid SOW foundations in Kona, Hawaii, USA (Kevin Norris, via Skype) and Montana, USA (Pete Sifuentes).
