What can be done in 395 days?

This may seem like a long time to some, but 395 days ago I was saying goodbye to my parents at the Winnipeg airport. It’s sad that I haven’t seen anyone from home since, though hopefully this will change early in the new year.

I’m planning to come home around the end of January or beginning of February. This is the best time for me in terms of work and it’s also the cheapest time to fly. I would like to come home for about a month.

As many of you may or may not know, it is very expensive to fly out of Australia because it’s situated in the middle of nowhere. It costs roughly $2000 CND for a round trip flight, plus added expenses for travel. At the moment, I don’t have enough money for the trip back to Canada. Winnipeg is important to me and I really do miss home. I know without a doubt that God has called me here to work in Australia. But, I also know that it would do me more than good to visit home, even if it is -30C.

I’m asking that you prayerfully consider donating towards this project. I am in a faith ministry and though I fully depend on God for my needs, I can’t do it without the support of people back home. If you make any donations through YWAM (Youth With A Mission) BC they are tax deductible. Below are some ways to send donations:

YWAM BC - Money sent here is tax deductible for Canadians. This is the only way to receive a tax receipt when donating money to me. Please send a cheque made out to ‘Youth With A Mission’. DO NOT write anything else on the cheque like my name or something in the ‘memo’ section. Enclose a separate note stating that the funds are for ‘Nicholas Verwymeren’ for a plane ticket home. Send it to the following address:
Donor Services
Box 57100,2480 E. Hastings St.
Vancouver BC
V5K 5G6

Money Order - Made payable to ‘Nicholas Verwymeren’ sent to:
PO Box 6221
Townsville, QLD
AUSTRALIA 4810

Credit Card (online) - Click here to visit the Reef to Outback web page to make an online donation

PayPal - You can also send me a donation through PayPal. My account is under greatwitenorth@hotmail.com

Cheque - If you have a Canadian bank account, you can send a cheque to my parents made out to ‘Nicholas Verwymeren’ sent to the following address:
Trish Verwymeren
152 Charing Cross Cr.
Winnipeg, MB

Thanks so much to all who have and continue to support me.

I’m really looking forward to you coming home. I know that you will make it home and all of us here are doing what we can to get you back soon.
See you shortly,
God bless,

About Us

Sara and I (Nick) have been married since June 2007. We volunteer with an organization called YWAM (Youth With A Mission). YWAM has close to 1000 bases around the world. One of those bases is Reef to Outback in Townsville, Australia which is where we are located. Nick currently works in the communications department and Sara works with the music ministry. We believe that we will be in Australia for a few more years to continue volunteering. Neither of us receive a salary from RTO (Reef to Outback) or YWAM for what we do. We must raise all of our own support through church, friends, family, and anyone else who is genuinely interested in helping us (if you’d like to help us please visit our ‘Donate‘ section).
