“God Said, ‘I need someone willing to say no to the status quo, no to the dream of wealth, leave their families to fly to a distant land, and learn a language they have never heard. Ride in cramped busses, on backs of camels, someone who would sleep anywhere, eat anything, bare the heat, and fight the freeze, with a smile on their face, just to take the Gospel to a people not their own.’ So God created the missionary.”
FAQs
Can families join staff?
Absolutely yes! One of our foundational values in Youth With A Mission is our belief that families are called to minister together. Because both you and your spouse will be on staff, both will need to have completed a DTS?
When you join staff as a family, both husband and wife are required to be part of our weekly meetings, community gatherings, and working on-campus throughout the week. If you have questions about this please feel free to contact us.
How much are staff dues?
Staff are charged $300 each month per person for on-campus or community living (an off-campus “staff house”). If you live off-campus independently, staff fees are $50 each month per person. We ask that you raise enough support to be reasonably livable for your personal expenses, not just the minimum. If you have children, please contact us to find out more information about how much their staff fees would cost.
Where will I live?
On-campus and staff community housing is limited and available on a first-come first-serve basis.
Independent housing around the area ranges from $850 to $1100 a month for a nice 2-3 bedroom home We encourage community living with other staff and would be happy to work out housing with you before you arrive. Please contact us for additional info.
How close is Yosemite National Park?
We are located in Oakhurst, California which is located approximately 20 minutes from the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park.
What pre-requisites are there to joining staff?
We require that you have already completed a DTS,CRX, or a Every Heart School. If you haven’t done your DTS yet, start here.
How long is my staff commitment?
All staff are required to make an initial two-year commitment. You will work a full-time, 40-hour week (min.) position in one of our available departments. You will also be required to raise a minimum amount of monthly support (communicated to you by our personnel department).
If you are interested in part-time work with us, consider our volunteer program.
What does a typical week look like?
A typical week will include corporate worship and prayer room times, campus work duties, evangelism and community outreaches, staff fellowship and exploring our beautiful area.
