Youth in Mission

 

Youth in Mission

In light of the continuing decline in numbers of young people in our churches and of the need for the empowerment of young people for leadership, the region wishes to keep youth in mission high on its agenda in future years.

Its aim is to offer young people an opportunity to learn about mission through experience and to do so together with other young people. Three programmes will be offered by the Region. These are:

The Mission House is an international community of 8 young people from all over Europe who live together for 10 months in a house in Amsterdam. Each member of the community works full-time as a volunteer in different diaconal (service and caring) projects in the city of Amsterdam. They include projects with migrants, ex-offenders, young people, drug users and homeless people. The Mission House volunteers are needed to support them and to help them live independently.

 
 


The Mission House team for 2008-2009 are settling in and enjoying their experience in Amsterdam. To find out more about the Mission House team please visit www.missionhouse.nl

We are now recruiting for the Mission House 2009-2010. If you are interested in applying and would like more information, please read the recruitment leaflet and power point presentation or contact CWM Europe for further details. Each Mission House year runs from 1st September - 30th June. To make an application, please fill in an application form and return it to your denomination's youth office by 29th February 2009.


Mission Taster Weekend

The Mission Taster weekend is held annually at the Mission House in Amsterdam. The weekend offers young people who are interested in mission or in the Mission House an opportunity to experience both first hand.

A Mission Taster Weekend is planned for 15-17 May 2009 for those thinking about applying pr who have applied for the Mission House in 2009-2010. It will be an opportunity to meet this year's Mission House team, to stay in the House, visit some of the projects and explore what is involved in volunteering for the Mission House.
