Communication

This page describes how YWAMers in Japan communicate with each other.

Chat​

The backbone of YWAM Japan communication is the Matrix protocol--an open network for secure, decentralized communication. Element is the app we use to communicate on the Matrix protocol.

We have installed a bridge from our main public Open Chat room on Matrix to Telegram.

If you are (or are joining as) a staff member, please use Element.
