At Water’s Edge, we believe faith is lived out through relationship and action. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Children’s HopeChest in Guatemala—an opportunity for our church to come alongside children and communities through prayer, friendship, and long-term support. We invite you to discover how you can be part of what God is doing.

Exciting Update!

James, Sarah, Emma and Thea, Romania

We are James and Sarah Barnard serving with Youth With a Mission (YWAM) in Constanta, Romania. We have been serving with YWAM for over 25 years focused on discipling young people and sending them to the nations.

James is currently co-leading the YWAM Constanta location along with a young Romanian man. His main role is mentoring and disciplining our staff and running the foundation. He also gets his hands dirty with some renovation and maintenance work to the building which is nice to use his skills from his landscape gardening days.

Sarah is working in the low income housing neighbourhood called Henri Coanda. We reach out to families, children and teenagers. Our heart is to see this community transformed and for people to be walking with Jesus. We do this through kids programs, girls groups , summer camps and more. Sarah also enjoys teaching the Bible on different YWAM schools.

We have two young girls Emma (8 years old) and Thea (3 years old). They are full of life and growing so fast.
