Join Staff

Once you have successfully completed your Discipleship Training School, the world of Youth With a Mission is open for your participation. You can apply to join any YWAM location in the World depending on what the Lord is speaking to you and what type of ministry you would like to be involved in. We are glad that you have come to read more about who we are here in Adelaide and hope as you read these pages that the Lord may confirm to you if you are to join our team here in South Australia.

We have a great group who work together to serve the Lord in a wide variety of Ministries, all using their gifts and talents to see Gods Kingdom come.

"The great thing about YWAM is that you can come on staff for 6 months or 16 years. It really depends on what God speaks to you. YWAM is often referred to as a bridge, for some it will help them to cross over to other things and others will stay to provide the support structure that will enable others to be trained in many areas of ministry.

"Since the beginning of YWAM Adelaide in 1987 we have seen God developing a passion in all of us for the Great Commission which is "Go into all the World and make disciples of all Men….." Matt 28: 19 -20. This passion has particularly formed for the developing nations, for those who are poor and who have never heard about Jesus, and is well summarized in our vision statement which you can read later on. "God has also been speaking to us as to how this scripture relates not only to Asia and beyond, but also to Adelaide, South Australia and Australia. He has challenged us to be seeking Him constantly for ways that we can impact these places on all levels of society and therefore we are developing new ministry areas here as He prompts. We adhere to all the YWAM values and these other distinctives mark us as YWAM Adelaide

• All Nations Participating

We love to have our place full of people from all over the World. We are developing a multi-national staff and schools that we run are multi-national. We value the expressions of God that all these nations bring and we love learning from each other's culture.

We are very big on team work here in Adelaide and all enjoy participating and working together to serve the Lord.

• Team Work

We value trying new ideas and are always seeking the Lord for new ways to do things. We have so many tools available to us now and we like to try to use them. We want to utilise the different skills and training that staff have to offer to see the Gospel presented in a way that is relevant and exciting to those who do not know Him.

• Creativity in Ministry

We like the fact that God always has new things for us to do and we encourage our staff to dream dreams and to use their initiative to start up new projects that will see more people reached for the Lord.

• To Dream Dreams

This area is important to us. We need to be continually growing in our walk with the Lord, our character and learning new skills. When joining YWAM Adelaide, you make a commitment to our staff training programs. These will be designed to help you grow in many facets of your life.

• Training

We love a challenge. God gives us challenges and to reach the world is a big challenge. We enjoy the fact that we need to go to the hard places in order to see people come to know the Lord.

• Challenges

We value open, honest communication with each other and an environment that is good for sharing the ideas, problems and stresses that life has to offer.

• Communication

We love having people come to our place and enjoy our company. In true Australian standard, we love a "Cuppa and a Yak". We all take our place in creating a good environment for us and those coming to visit. We all like to contribute in making this place a home.

• Hospitality
