YWAM Yosemite's mission is to equip visionary leaders to reach the nations.

Our base is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, just 20 minutes away from the entrance to Yosemite National Park.

We send outreaches to Thailand, Nepal, and the Middle East, and we are committed to seeing these nations discipled through YWAM's threefold ministry model of training, evangelism, and mercy ministry.

By serving here, you are helping to train, equip, and release young people into these nations and every sphere of society to see the world reached for Christ!

The Lord's Land is a retreat center for guests and a training center for missions, including a Discipleship Training School (DTS) and School of Supernatural Missions (SSM). Our goal is to see the presence of God manifest on the Mendocino Coast and throughout Northern California.

Holmsted Manor is a mission-focused community, passionate about Jesus and about participating in God’s transformation of the world. A place to find belonging, we are committed to cultivating space for individuals to deepen their relationship with God and become more who they were created to be. Our goal is to see hope flourish as we serve together in our local, national and international communities.

In a beautiful 17-acre location in the West Sussex countryside, YWAM Holmsted Manor is strategically located not far from London, between the creative city of Brighton, and the multicultural town of Crawley, key locations where we do regular urban outreach. Living at Holmsted Manor means we often go out to get involved in other things. Nestled in a community of small villages, we actively look to partner with local churches, ministries and other community groups to make a difference in our immediate area. Currently, we have staff working in a local food bank, volunteering with ministries working with the vulnerable and singing in a local community choir.

Our staff also get involved in local churches with some of our staff team leading youth work, mission and outreach and preaching and speaking. We love to invite our local community to join us for some of our activities and there are at least one, and often two, community type activities every month – from barbeques to open mics.

We are looking for volunteers to join us to serve in a variety of tasks, people who are willing to work hard, have fun, and be part of our community in agreement with our values. You’re probably not an expert, but you’re ready to help out in any area (painting walls, chopping vegetables, cutting the grass, cleaning toilets, making beds, sewing, and much more). You will serve in various parts of the base with numerous opportunities to interact with our YWAMers and trainees at meal times, work and community events.

You don't have to have completed a DTS, or have any YWAM experience, but be willing to come and serve for a couple of months. You may want to improve your English before you do a DTS by being in a community of believers who speak English.

We want you to feel part of our YWAM family so we encourage our volunteers to participate in base gatherings and events such as worship, prayer and socials.  Please come with an open heart and a willingness to serve in whatever capacity needed.

As a unified community of Christ-followers, we model the Kingdom of God in our leadership structures, training programs, business operations, corporate spirituality, family lives, artistic expressions and stewardship of Creation. Through our example, acts of compassion, our multi-faceted proclamation of the Gospel, we strive to be agents of transformation among communities and nations and to reproduce kingdom-oriented communities among the nations.

We host short term teams, usually in spring and summer when school is out.

We work in an agricultural area with as many as 80 different people groups. There is need for ongoing community outreach's.

We help support many other local outreach's and ministries.

Believing God for One Nation in One Generation – YWAM Battambang, Cambodia University of the Nations Battambang is a ministry of YWAM Global and was started by a team of young people in January 2006. Our vision: Equipping and empowering to bring transformation to communities in Cambodia, Southeast Asia and to the ends of the earth.

Our heart is that we would be a platform for the indigenous people to rise up and influence all spheres of society in their nation with the love of Jesus. Our vision is not only for Cambodia, but also that we would be a training center for the surrounding region which includes four of the remaining Communist (closed) nations (Vietnam, Laos, China and Myanmar).

We are working to see God's kingdom built in Cambodia. He has exploded the YWAM base from a handful of young volunteer missionaries into a vibrant and growing ministry that touches thousands of lives every day in the second largest city in the nation. We focus on discipleship, evangelism, and mercy ministry at our various ministry locations. Redemption, restoration, and revival are very much on God's heart for this nation.

We believe God's word to us that He will finish the good work He has started here in this nation. A snapshot of the ministry areas we are involved in include:

• King’s Kids (a project to children at risk)
• Jeevit’s House (reaching families with HIV/AIDS)
• Youth Development Centre
• Café Eden (a thriving business-as-missions)
• Fitness BTB (a functional fitness gym)
• Cornerstone Learning Center (an international elementary school)

Training schools include; Discipleship Training School, School of Ministry Development, Word By Heart, School of Biblical Studies, Titus Project, DTS Equip Work Project.

YWAM/UofN Battambang, Cambodia since purchasing property has greatly expanded their facilities and is continuing construction. Keep in touch with us about upcoming construction projects and schedules. We have many other service needs that volunteers may help with as well!

YWAM Hurlach (Bavaria) was established in 1972. At that time, the Castle of Hurlach was purchased by YWAM International as a base for the evangelistic outreaches during the Olympic Games in Munich. Since then, YWAM Hurlach has been the birthing place of many ministries and other campuses.

The Castle continues to be used as a training center and a base for evangelistic outreaches to Germany and the world. We offer a variety of training courses and ministries, which a person can either participate in as an individual or as part of a team to their own home town.

Transforming Germany; reaching the nations!

Out of an intimate relationship to God, nationally and internationally and together with other Christians, we aim to:

• train, disciple, and release a generation of world-changers
• support and serve the body of Christ
• reach the unreached with the gospel of the kingdom of God

We do this by:

• living together as a Christian community, singles and families, all generations, in accountability as a model of the kingdom of God
• training, discipling, and equipping through schools, seminars, and mentoring
• sending ministry teams out to churches as well as running seminars and bringing leaders together in unity, promoting prayer and intercession
• conducting evangelistic outreaches and mercy ministries locally, nationally, and internationally

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, we are currently limited in the number of volunteers that we can host. We are not hosting daily or weekly volunteers at this time. Long-term volunteers must be willing to commit to staying a minimum of 4 weeks with the 1st week being self-quarantined in our housing. Because of the limited numbers of volunteers, we are focusing on soup production.

Volunteers are asked to pray about the amount that God wants them to give to cover their stay.

In the summer, we dry peaches and nectarines in the sun. Fruit grown by local farmers which has been culled as not marketable is donated to Gleanings. Processing the fruit is a labor-intensive task that requires the combined efforts of many volunteers. We do this during the summer when the warm San Joaquin Valley, California sunshine can best dry the fruit. We call the summer months our peach season.

Throughout the remainder of the year, we produce a nutritious, and tasty dried soup mix from bulk dehydrated vegetables blended with spices, legumes, and grain products. Most ingredients are donated and volunteers process them to be used either in the soup mix production or to be distributed as a single product in smaller family-sized packages. We also operate a quilt room where we hand-craft beautiful quilts. Quilts are another tangible representation of God’s love. Many of the quilts produced have gone directly to Holocaust survivors in Israel, but as quilt production continues other ministries like orphanages are also receiving these beautiful gifts. Because the soup mix production is our primary focus, the rest of the year that is not summer, we call our soup season.

Making disciples of all nations is the heartbeat of YWAM Tyler. Since its establishment in 1980, YWAM Tyler has grown from a handful of people to approximately 250 full-time workers, training hundreds of students annually on our nearly-500-acre ranch facility. The ministry is involved in training, evangelism, discipleship, medical and relief work, construction, teaching, and the development of new avenues of ministry. Long-term ministry centers have been pioneered and established in other nations such as India, Haiti, Romania and Mongolia (as well as some restricted Muslim nations).

Mission building at YWAM Tyler gives you the opportunity to come and serve alongside full-time missionaries and be exposed to the fullness of God’s purposes for your life. What's needed most - skilled tradesmen and tradeswomen who can help with building projects, renovations and repairs on this large campus. There are seasonal needs for kitchen helpers, grounds, landscaping and the like. An increase in YWAM Tyler’s workforce over the past several years has created a critical need for campus housing. We have completed the first phase of a project to build duplexes for families and singles and we have started the second. We need help! Most mission builders volunteer for 2-4 weeks, although long-term opportunities may be worked out with YWAM Tyler.
