YB MISSION TRIPS

If you love Jesus, the nations, and the Great Commission you can come on a YB Missions Trip. You do not have to have done a DTS in order to join the Trips. Our heart is to see young people equipped and empowered in mission, so if you are between 16 and 30, you are welcome to join!

We ask of you to be respectful and humble as you will be with people from different cultures and backgrounds. We ask that you will be open for new experiences and willing to learn and to serve. Be a team player and the biggest thing: Love Jesus! There also might be practical things to bring which depends on your outreach location and will be communicated once you’re accepted to the Trips.

The costs vary depending on your outreach location. Generally speaking, the outreach fee will be between 300 - 600 Euros plus travel costs to and from the location. It is our goal to keep the cost as low as possible for you.

Housing and training in Berlin as well as housing, food, transport, potential visa fees, and material costs for ministry at your outreach location.

Once you get accepted after your interview, 100€ as a down payment is due within 7 days in order to secure your spot. This is non-refundable. The full payment is due one month before the trips. We will send you the bank details to make those payments.

The locations are different each year. As YB we focus on Europe and the Middle East and we will lead outreaches to these regions. Past outreaches have gone to Paris, Marseille, Cyprus and the Middle East. Contact us for more information on the locations for the next outreach season!

Middle East: For security reasons. we cannot share exact locations on the website. In the interview, we will talk to you about the different options. For each location, there are a certain number of spots. It’s first come, first serve.

Yes. Every participant is required to purchase their own travel insurance. There are many affordable options available and we can help you find them.

We are connected to long term missionaries and locals who have a good understanding of the security situation and cultural norms. They advise us on safety and other matters. Should there be any security concerns that advise against the trip, we will seek out alternatives. We do ask every participant to register with their embassy, and to have travel insurance.

To prepare for the Middle East Trip we will meet in Berlin for 3 days. We will have times of worship and intercession, getting to know each other and having times of training, covering different topics ranging from cultural orientation for your outreach location to topics like hearing God’s voice and sharing the gospel. And of course we’ll have fun activities to get to know your team.

The Creative Outreach will start with a 5-day intensive in Berlin with teaching on evangelism, team building and practice for those doing dance and other performing arts.

Each location's activities will differ depending on our local partners and opportunities. In every location we will focus on bringing the love and message of Jesus to the people we meet. It will include worship and prayer, encouraging local Christian communities, praying for the sick, bible distribution, evangelism, sharing testimonies and service projects.

Our housing will be simple and you will be sharing rooms with other teammates. Depending on your outreach location, we might sleep in guest houses, on church floors or in private homes. Be ready for an adventure and getting to know your team really well :)

Applications for the Trips will close a month before the trip. If you have any questions about this, reach out to us by email: trips@ywamberlin.org
