Missionaries:  Daniel & Jessica Norris
 
 
Missionary Organization:  Youth With A Mission Newcastle, Australia http://www.ywamnewcastle.com/
 
Connection to Calvary:   I (Daniel) moved with my family to Kona, Hawaii in 1989 at the age of 4 and shortly after began attending Calvary.  This was way back when it was located at the Longhouse. Calvary is (Daniel's) home church.
 
Heart, Mission Field, & Ministry: We both live and serve full time in Newcastle, Australia with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) - Daniel since 2003 and Jess from 2009. One of our center's main focuses is on youth ministry both in Newcastle and globally. Since joining YWAM Daniel has worked to help pioneer a ministry called Youth Street that aims to create a safe place of belonging for teenagers.
 
We also run multiple training schools including YWAM’s primary course called a Discipleship Training School. From these schools we have sent missions teams all around the world to nations such as Uganda, Thailand, South Africa, Fiji, India, Nepal and many more. We have personally gone on missions trips to Iraq, Mexico, Japan, New Zealand & locally in Australia.
 
DANIEL - I have served on YWAM Newcastle’s leadership team since 2007 and oversee the multiplication of the Youth Street ministry as the Youth Street Roll-Out Coordinator. This has me heavily involved in the training of our staff and staff in other cities who are involved with Youth Street and other youth ministries. I am also very involved in our basic YWAM staff training for all new joining staff. 
 
JESS - Since 2009, I have helped YWAM Newcastle get more involved in Mercy Ministry. One major highlight was leading a "Not For Sale" seminar which helped equip people to combat the world wide problem of human trafficking. As I serve at YWAM Newcastle, I will be continuing to see how God would use me in this area. I also staff our weekly Youth Street program called Youth Street Teams.
