YWAM LONG BEACH

Our Vision for YWAM Long Beach is to lead teams in evangelism, prayer, and mercy ministries in the city. There are two ways that we want to do this: leading discipleship schools and hosting outreach teams. We have a heart for discipling individuals and training them though teaching, small groups, practical outreach, overcoming challenges, and working together. Our ultimate dream is to become a YWAM location that is known for facilitating fruitful outreaches and hosting volunteers from all over the world in order to make lasting impact in our city. In addition to this, we want to send missionaries to serve the Lord in the nations. YWAM Long Beach has sent teams to Japan, Panama, Costa Rica, South Africa, India, and Nepal.

Join us for our Impact DTS in January 2025

DTS, or Discipleship Training School, is a transformative Christian program designed to deepen participants' relationship with God, build character, and equip them for a missional life. This intensive five-month course usually consists of two main phases: the Lecture Phase, which focuses on spiritual growth and learning through teachings and group discussions; and the Field Assignment, where participants engage in international outreach and cross-cultural experiences to apply their learning and serve others. DTS graduates often emerge with a renewed sense of purpose, empowered to make a positive impact in the world for God.

interested in connecting or local outreach:

Join us for ministry in Long Beach and across Southern California. During the week, you can partner with us with a variety of ministries, such as serving at food bank, bible study, prayer events and connecting with the poor and needy.

Interested in Japan:

Japan is a focus nation of YWAM Long Beach. We have had relationships with ministries and churches in Japan since 2004.

For this year, in place of a yearly trip, we are currently planning to begin a church plant in September 2024. However, we continue to have a heart to host outreaches to this nation and create a bridge for others to get involved. We are committed to reaching the world's largest unreached people group by bringing the gospel through teams and coordinated trips. We primarily work in Tokyo, but oftentimes travel to other cities depending on the trip. The outreaches normally last 2 months, but you can choose to volunteer with us from 2 weeks to the full length of the trip.

If you have any questions or have a heart for the Japanese, please fill out the form for more information.
