Why should I do my mission trip with YWAM Las Vegas?

Our experience: Nobody has more experience in this type of ministry than YWAM.

Our costs: In a recent survey, we found that our program offered the highest level of service while our prices are among the lowest.

Our training: We give your students all they need for dynamic ministry during your trip, and the ability to “take it all home.”


Where do we stay?

Our new building, The Pier, is located in downtown Las Vegas - about a ten-minute drive from the famous Las Vegas Strip. Our base is home to our offices, training schools and to our community center. Each night you will either be staying at a local church or at our facility depending on your group size and housing availability. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served family style at the location you are staying at.


Is it Safe?

Since 1999, we have hosted hundreds of students from many different church youth groups, Christian schools and colleges. We make every effort to impact our inner-city while our accommodations are located a short distance away in a more secure environment. The students who come are accompanied by our staff at all times during all outreach activities all over the city. Among our staff who oversee the program, we have well over fifty years of experience in this kind of ministry. Therefore, we never put the students in a place of overt danger at any time. If you would like references from any of our previous youth pastors, please let us know and we will send them to you.


Is it Biblical?

Jesus did it, the disciples did it and since you can’t do better than that, we do it too! However, if you have any questions about what we believe other than our statement of faith or our general YWAM values, please do not hesitate to contact us and we would love to answer any questions that you might have.


Where do we minister?

We work with the homeless and residents at the Las Vegas Rescue Mission. We do urban block parties/street outreach with The Las Vegas Dream Center. The City of Las Vegas partners with us to clean up the city. The Las Vegas Strip and also The Fremont Street Experience are our main locations of which we share the gospel and minister the people living in grittier Vegas and uptown “Strip”.
