Profile

It required that the volunteer is in full physical and emotional health. Also, anyone with a willing, flexible, open heart to serve will be welcome in our midst. If you would like to work as a team, use your gifts and talents to serve God and live with other long and short term missionaries, feel challenged and be a part of what God is doing in our midst.

Hospitality

The volunteer should be aware that he will experience what it is to live in the community and serve in the mission field. There will be an introduction and follow-up during the adaptation process at the base. Accommodation and meals are held collectively. Participation of the volunteer in core programmings, such as intercession and worship, is required. There are also internal rules of the database that will be communicated and must be fulfilled by the volunteer.

Costs

God leads us as YWAM to be responsible for our finances and to cover our values through a network of relationships. So we ask that the volunteers do the same. The volunteer will pay the same amount (R$ 480/month) that a worker pays to live in the base. This amount is intended to cover the cost of lodging and meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
