About

Estonia is one of the least religious countries in Europe. Christians are a minority here. But that hasn’t stopped God! This small nation has been marked by significant revivals - the most recent one started in the 1970s in the beautiful capital city of Tallinn and spread throughout the Baltic nations during Soviet occupation. 

Come to Estonia and pray for revival to once again transform lives and bring God’s Kingdom to this nation! 

Outreach teams will work alongside a vibrant church in the southern town of Valga, along the Latvian border, helping to run a summer day camp for children from the local community. Between fun games and facepaint there will be opportunities to share about faith in Jesus and spread the message of hope and love to those who may not normally attend a religious service. 

In addition to working with kids, you’ll also get to participate in programmes that focus on youth engagement and community development - the church even has a large second-hand shop in it’s building which teams can bless through practical work like washing windows and sorting donations. 

Your service in Estonia can bring hope, support, and positive change to communities in need. Embrace the opportunity to grow spiritually and make a lasting impact.
  

Neighbours & Nations Camp

Your time will begin by joining Neighbours & Nations Camp from the 24th-28th July, where you will join with other young people pursuing missions opportunities both overseas and at home. There will be fantastic worship, teaching and a ton of fun! You'll have a few required workshops during the camp and on the last day join the "Missions Track" where all of our mission teams will be prepared for their upcoming trips!

Your NN Camp ticket is included in the costs for the mission trip of £550 + Flight. Once you've applied, you'll need to purchase your £170 NN camp ticket (£150 if using the EARLYBIRD code before December 31st), and also add the Mission Track Extra to your ticket which is a £50 deposit for the mission trip. For youth groups this will likely be arranged by your team leader, for individuals, they will need to do this themselves. Dorm room accommodation will be prioritised for applicants travelling overseas, however it is limited and if at capacity we may ask UK based groups to camp. 

You can find more about N&N camp here: https://www.neighboursandnations.co.uk/youth-camp

Go!

You'll head to Estonia on the 29th July and serve in various ways there until 6th/7th August  depending on flight times. On the 7th you'll spend the day back at YWAM Harpenden reflecting and processing your time overseas, all that you did, how God used you and how you might apply some of what you have experienced in your home communities. You'll also prepare for your group to give a short presentation of your time. 
 

Celebration

On the final day, 8th August, parents, friends and family are all invited to YWAM Harpenden for a celebration of what God did this year! Each group will have a chance to share how God used you and your team and of course, obligatory snacks... maybe chocolate fountains... who knows?... 
 

How To Apply

We use a system called ServiceReef to manage our mission trip applications. It is a fantastic tool to help us organise everything for your mission trip! Once this location is assigned to your group, we will remove it from public access and provide your group with a private link to ensure that only your group members are able to apply. You'll just need to click the apply link on this page and fill out the application form! It's really important for applicants under 18 to ensure a correct parent email is entered during your ServiceReef account creation as it ensures they are kept in the loop with all communications. 

Once you hit submit on your application, it will be reviewed by our admin team, and then you'll be added to the outreach opportunity (this may take a day or two). You'll then be able to log back into ServiceReef and access all the remaining tasks you will need to complete to finalise your application (references, upload a scan of your passport, submit a background check (for over 18s), upload insurance details etc). For those under 18 the first task you'll have is to add a parent to your "household" in ServiceReef, It can easily be done from your "Dashboard" and there's even a handy help guide here Helpdesk : ServiceReef , once done they'll be able to help you with any of your tasks and access any documents for the trip. 

You'll be sent a weekly reminder on Fridays of any outstanding/overdue tasks still needing to be completed. As the trip gets closer, it's possible that additional tasks may be added to your account if extra information is required; again, an email will be sent if this is the case.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our admin team at [email protected]
