Youth With A Mission
"Our time with YWAM Vancouver’s Mission Adventure program was so impactful, it inspired our team to serve local and to put into practice what we learned in the big city. Sleeping on the floor of our church, leaving prayer notes for different ministries, playing games in the sanctuary, and baking cookies to give away made our group feel more like family and our church like home.
“We prayed over schools, through neighbourhoods and during a scavenger hunt down 1st Ave. We loved the elders from our church by sharing a meal and lending a hand or playing games together. We served in local soup kitchens and food banks, picked up trash in parks and along trails, and then spent a day delighting in the beautiful area God has given us to live. Thank you, Mission Adventures, for inspiring us to love where we live! "
A Rocha
“Creation care isn’t a checklist. It’s layered. It’s emotional. It’s urgent and slow and frustrating and hopeful, all at once. But here’s what I learned: even one person—one tiny human on this big, beautiful planet—can make a difference. Not by doing everything, but by doing something, starting somewhere, usually right in their own community. I’m no longer waiting to ‘figure it all out, and I’m just getting involved.”

“While in the program I felt supported. It wasn’t just the physical supports, like food and clothing, but as a human being who was going through a hard time. Even through the most challenging of months, I was okay, as my kids were happy and they had food on the table. Many times I cried with the amazing client care people, and I always felt supported. Through the client care sessions I was working on goals that enabled me to better myself physically and mentally. I now feel stronger and better prepared.”
