YWAM STAFF
Join a community eager to learn and grow in God and with each other. YWAM Kyiv offers a place for youth and the young at heart to serve Jesus with their giftings in many different areas.
We normally ask for a 2 year commitment to join our staff team. *Due to the war we only ask for 1 year at this present time.*
During 2022, due to the war, we moved from a functioning YWAM ministry campus to a volunteer response movement. As of January 2023, we reopened YWAM Kyiv, shifting back to a YWAM Kyiv community. The leadership team in Kyiv continues to give leadership and guidance.
We still have the same vision: YWAM Kyiv will focus on Kyiv, Ukraine and Eurasia. We devote ourselves to preaching the gospel, we cultivate empowered and missions-minded Christ followers, and we renew the lives of the broken.
All YWAM staff raise their own support. Our personnel staff member will help you with understanding the minimum requirements of support a staff member will need to raise monthly.
Choose your circle of ministry
Every staff is a part of a circle - this provides a team to serve Jesus with. But, we also still help each other and there is a lot of teamwork between circles as well.
All of our staff also serve in a root ministry. These are ministries that help support the functioning of our YWAM base. This will be assigned after you come on staff in collaboration with our personnel team.
LOVE UKRAINE
This circle includes the different ministries that reach out to Ukrainians such as the art therapy ministry (we.create art studio), D'light cafe and the english club, visiting the old age home not far from our base, and the football club. This circle has an emphasis on reaching those who still need to encounter the love of God through Jesus.
YOUTH MINISTRIES
This circle focuses on Youth and Orphans. Included in this circle are Key of Hope ministry, King's Kids and the youth community center of Lukashivka
DTS
Throughout the war, our staff have had a great opportunity to build relationships with many churches. We are continuing to run DTS because we know this Discipleship School changes lives, even in the midst of war.
FRONTLINE
This circle focuses on our Waves of Hope, going to the East with humanitarian aid and helping church planters.
TEAM.710
As many people come to Christ during this war, we need to continue to help disciple and deepen the faith of people in God's Word. DBS will be a new program offered in Kyiv, and SBS and Titus Project will hopefully continue as well. Aqueduct is still in our hearts to run bible studies for believers in the church.
ROOT
MINISTRIES
We also have root ministries to help with the strength of our base. These are called root ministries because without these roots, the plant is not healthy. Joining staff may mean helping in one of these areas.
