Who We Are
An international missions organization of Christians from many denominations dedicated to presenting Jesus and mobilizing people into missions.
3 Ministry Focus Areas
1. Evangelism
We do evangelism because we believe that everyone in the world has the right to hear the message of Jesus Christ. He has called those who know Him to make Him known to those who do not.
2. Mercy
Another focus is mercy ministry, where we are giving hope to the poor, sick, and those suffering from injustice.
3. Training
We do training to equip people to use their unique calling to serve God in the world.

Dependence upon God for financial provision
Overview
Youth with a Mission is a non-profit organization and does not pay salaries to any of its missionaries. We depend on God through His people (the Church) for our provisions, both corporately and individually.
Objective
We believe that this system promotes responsibility, interdependence, communication and lots of prayer. The financial partner is involved in the process, as a ministry partner. It is important that the Church as a whole feels involved in the expansion of the Kingdom when sending and supporting a missionary to the field.
