Ministry Description
At YWAM Myrtle Beach, we heed the call to “go into all the world and preach the gospel.” We do this by training and equipping believers for a lifetime of service through our DTS and secondary programs.
We have a strong desire to see long-term missionaries sent out to the 10/40 window. Long-term missionaries that reach unreached people groups around the world. So, our DTS and other efforts focus on equipping people spiritually and practically for international service.
Our local ministry has also found a international focus. Each year, Myrtle Beach welcomes over 4,000 international workers from numerous countries. God is bringing the nations to our doorstep. By partnering with local believers we help run ministries geared to reach the 4,000 or so internationals that show up.
Anyone who is willing to serve the King by serving others and who allows God’s grace to work the truth of His Word into every fiber of their being is welcome to participate in our training schools and outreaches.

Food Services. We invite anyone interested in providing delicious and healthy meals to come and be a part of this important aspect of our community. We value this investment and see that so many relationships are deepened as we share meals together. Our current leadership team in Food Services is a husband/wife team who are phasing out of their involvement with us by the end of August. If you come during the summer months you will work alongside them and learn from their years of experience.
Maintenance. We are looking for people with experience in maintenance: in maintaining the campus facilities, vehicles, or grounds, and in keeping the maintenance areas organized and properly supplied.
AgTech--Summer and early fall 2020. As the growing season is well underway we are looking for individuals or teams who enjoy being outside, helping with various aspects of gardening and animal care.

Ministry Description
The YWAM Ozarks community desires to make the Kingdom tangible by building & cherishing relationships, training students well, and working hard with our hands in an agricultural setting. Living in the middle of the “Bible Belt,” we try to find ways to demonstrate God’s amazing Kingdom, not just talk about it.
Our 66-acre campus provides much potential for developing AgTech initiatives. Currently we have an expanding garden area for crops and sustainable farming concepts. Our animal population includes pigs, chickens, goats, cattle and guinea hens. Additionally, we have bee hives and an aquaponics system.
Community Development is a natural focus for our DTSs, called Restore & Transform DTS, with a focus on seeing how God desires to transform us and involve us in the transformation of communities in need. On-campus AgTech and similar projects equip students with practical skills usable in the developing world. Overseas outreaches aim to empower communities to find relevant solutions to existing problems, through the help and wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
From the beginning of YWAM Ozarks we’ve emphasized the importance of studying and applying the Word. This summer of 2020 we are running the Discipleship Bible School with a small group of students. They are being immersed in the big picture story of the Bible and will be trained in leading Bible studies in their own unique settings.
This summer's Mission Adventure groups have cancelled their scheduled weeks due to Covid19, but we hope to resume Mission Adventure next year with fresh zeal for missions involvement.
Needs
Our Volunteer Wish-list for Summer/Fall 2020:
1. We are looking for an individual or team with experience in solar installation to assist or advise on our dorm solar project.
2. Grounds keeping is always a big need on our campus during the summer and early fall.
3. Summer and fall for our Agriculture-Technology department are busy seasons with maintaining our gardens, harvesting and keeping our aquaponics system running. We have projects for people of all experience levels.

About Our Area
YWAM Kyiv is located on the beautiful bank of the Dnipro River. We are situated just outside the city of Kyiv (only 400 meters from the end of Kyiv sign) on a beautiful 8 acre property. We are literally right on the river, which means we have a beach!
Kyiv is a city of nearly 4 million and is beautiful, lush and green. There is much to do including many museums, art galleries, quest rooms, bowling alleys, movie theaters and various shopping centers. Transportation is close and is easy to use to get to any part of the city. Kyiv is really a hidden European gem.
Our staff go to various churches around the city and will be happy to take you to any of them.
The weather is mostly cool from September -November and then gets quite cold from December - March. Usually by the end of March things start to warm up but sometimes it doesn't warm up until the end of April to early May. Summers are gorgeous, but May is particularly lovely as all the lilacs and other trees are blooming. Expect humidity during the summer, as we are right on the water.

About Our Area
YWAM Minneapolis is located on an 80-acre campus, about 45 minutes west of downtown Minneapolis, in the little town of Rockford. Our campus is surrounded by woods, fields, and wetlands. Despite the beauty, there are unreached people groups, in one of the world's most diverse urban centers, less than an hour away.
YWAM Minneapolis is a bilingual English-Spanish campus. Many of the staff and students are from Latin America, and many outreaches are focused in that region. We also have many local Minnesotans and North Americans.
Nearby attractions include Mall of America, Minnehaha Falls on the Mississippi River, and Eat Street. Minneapolis also has many excellent lakes, art shows, museums, and theaters.

Medical
Medical Insurance is very wise to come with. You must be on a malarial treatment. We advise you go to your local travel clinic and get their advise on vaccinations. For those with particular food allergies, it may be a challenge as there may not be the variety of options or supplements available. It would be helpful to know early if you have any health requirements or restrictions so we know how best to advise you.
Travel Arrangements and Documents
The airport closet to us is in Dar Es Salaam (DAR). It is a 5-6 hour car journey from there to Morogoro. So it is very helpful to arrive earlier in the day. If one arrives at night we recommend you book into a hotel and travel the following day. We will always send someone to the airport to receive you.
There are three travel options from DAR to Morogoro,
- Public coach and taxi $30 USD pp
- Hire a private taxi car for up to 4 people $120 total cost
- Hire a private mini bus $200 USD for up to 20 people
If you are coming for no longer than 3 months, you will need to make a BUSINESS VISA upon arrival at the AIRPORT. The cost is $250 USD pp. We will provide you with a letter that you will present at immigration.
If you are coming for longer than 3 months, you will need to either,
- Travel to a neighbouring country and return to make another business visa.
OR;
- You can apply for a WORK PERMIT, which is valid for two years and costs $500 USD plus $100 USD admin costs (this is due to the offices being 10 hrs apart and documents must be sent and collected in person) and a RESIDENCE PERMIT $250 USD plus $50 USD admin fee. TOTAL $900.USD
The GOOD NEWS is that God is FAITHFUL and we will process the permit for you! All you need to do is provide us with the following documents;
- Copy of passport (every page)
- CV in English
- Height, eye colour, hair colour
- Academic certificate (and certified English translation if needed)
- YWAM certificates (and certified English translation if needed)

Our vision is to equip, train and commission people of all ages whose passion for Jesus will impact the needy and make disciples in the cities of Northern California as well as unreached people groups and developing nations around the world. We do this through life-changing training schools, outreaches, youth ministries, and serving and partnering with the body of Christ.
Our beautiful location at Richardson Springs, outside of Chico, CA, is home to a thriving Youth With A Mission training center with approximately 50 full-time staff. We host YWAM’s foundational training—the Discipleship Training School—as well as World Evangelism Training, English as a Second Language, Leadership and Personal Development training, a School of Remodel and Re and MANY conferences and retreats.

Accommodations
Lodging (see note below) and meals are provided on the YWAM grounds for mission builders. For those who are regular, yearly volunteers at YWAM Chico, get your reservations in early! Our increasing number of volunteer staff members means we now have very limited campus housing available for Mission Builder volunteers. Campus housing for volunteers will be on a first-come, first-serve basis for those who apply early. Volunteers who stay in cabins may stay a minimum of 3 weeks to a maximum of 3 months.
We will always have room for people with RVs (we have 10 RV sites with full hookups).
Meals are provided as long as the kitchen is open, but at times we only serve lunch, so please check with us before coming (no schools are run in January or February, so only lunch is served in dining hall.) Volunteers eat with staff and students when schools are running and cook their own meals on weekends.
Laundry is available at no cost and we have a beautiful pool that is available on most days.
Work hours are flexible depending on age and abilities. There is fairly good internet service, but no cell phone service.

About Our Area
Located at the historic Richardson Springs, the hotel was opened in 1923. It hosted movie stars and Bay Area elite who came for a peaceful respite from city life and to enjoy the health spa atmosphere. Today, the gracefully designed hotel lobby welcomes you into a quieter time in our country's history. We have a well- stocked bookstore to browse through and a snack bar if you are looking for a treat.
The area is crisscrossed with hiking trails. The Indian Lookout, the Crosses and the water falls and reservoir are popular destinations. Other recreational activities include swimming in the beautiful pool, tennis, basketball, volleyball and ping pong. A barbecue area and bonfire pit are also available and are favorites with the young and old alike. Chico is about an hour and a half north of Sacramento.

Ministry Description
Experience the beauty and charm of Costa Rica while you come to know Jesus better and help to make Him known. The YWAM Heredia base is located 12 miles east of the San Jose airport in the suburbs of San Rafael and 2 miles from the city center.
The base is on 7 beautiful acres at an elevation of 5100 feet with an average year round temperature of 72 degrees. The property is 24,000 sq meters (just under 7 acres) and allows for the development and efficient use of natural resources such as organic agriculture, livestock, solar and more. Training in the efficient use of natural resources allows these technologies to be taken to needy people in developing nations and elsewhere as a means to open doors for sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.
YWAM Heredia provides multiple training schools accredited by University of the Nations, with previous outreaches focusing on many countries within Amazonia, East Africa, and the Middle East.
You may come to this YWAM Costa Rica base as part of a short term team for 1-3 weeks or as an individual mission builder volunteer for short term outreaches and various ministries and projects. Volunteers work 30 – 40 hours a week depending on what is needed.
