Who is Yiwarra Palya Ministries?

Yiwarra Palya began as a vision of the late Ps Ronnie Williams who with his wife Diana were the founding pastors of Yiwarra Palya Church affiliated with Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Kalgoorlie. He saw revival fire burning from the south of Australia through the centre to the far north. He called this the highway of holiness. Yiwarra Palya means ‘Good Road’. When Ron and Diana relocated to Canberra, Greg and Carol Stubbs took on this role and continued to run many Children’s Camps in Kalgoorlie and the Goldfields of Western Australia as Yiwarra Palya Ministries.
