OUR BASE DIRECTORS

Rob & Christine Lucerne

Australia / Austria

The Lucernes come to us from Marine Reach Global (the headquarters for M/V Pacific Hope & S/Y Next Wave). The couple arrived on the island in September, and after safely quarantining, they’ve immersed themselves into the YWAM Barbados family! Rob grew up in Australia and Christine in Austria. They both began their YWAM journey 40 years ago when Rob did his school of Evangelism in Germany and Christine her Discipleship Training School in Austria. Christine loves to “train, teach English and the Bible, and play classical music,” and Rob loves “being creative, worshipping, and working within teams.” They have 3 boys and 4 lovely grandchildren. Both love listening and following God’s direction…and that’s what led them to embark on this new adventure with us in Barbados. we’re delighted to have the Lucerne’s here and can’t wait to see what God has in store for our base through their leadership!

Volker Boehm & Naraleska Perez

Germany / Venezuela

We speak and sing in a bunch of languages and our dream is that praise and worship will arise from the Caribbean 24/7, because Jesus is worthy!
We are pioneering prayer and worship initiatives in and from all Caribbean nations and we are leading the Discipleship Training School here in YWAM Barbados.
As an international family we love the different flavors and cultures that make up the Caribbean and believe that God wants to use them to show His glory from the islands to the nations!
