Transforming Lives. Reaching Nations. Raising Disciple Makers.
We Are Lives and Tribes
A Movement for Melbourne. A Vision for the Nations.
Lives and Tribes is a YWAM (Youth With A Mission) community based in Melbourne, Australia, with a passion to see lives transformed, disciples equipped, and nations impacted by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We believe that every person carries a God-given purpose and that every culture reflects a unique expression of God's creativity. Our heart is to recognize, celebrate, and release the gifts that God has placed within every tribe, every nation, and every generation.
What began as a simple call to follow Jesus has grown into a missionary movement dedicated to training and sending young leaders, pioneers, church planters, and disciple-makers into the world. We are building a community where people can encounter God deeply, discover their calling, and be equipped to influence cities and nations.
OUR VISION
We exist to raise a generation of disciples who know God intimately and make Him known everywhere.
From the neighborhoods of Melbourne to the least reached places of the earth, we are committed to seeing disciple-making movements, healthy communities, and Kingdom transformation established among every people group.
We dream of a generation that is courageous enough to go, humble enough to serve, and passionate enough to give their lives for God's purposes.
Why Melbourne?
Melbourne is one of the most multicultural cities in the world. We believe God has positioned this city as a strategic gateway to the nations.
By serving our local communities, reaching international students, partnering with churches, and training missionaries, we are investing in a movement that begins in Melbourne but extends to the ends of the earth.
