2024 YWAM Ensenada Recap Video
On Base
Students live together dorm-style at the YWAM Ensenada campus, just steps from the beach. Each morning begins with devotional time, worship, and training to help students grow in their faith. YWAM staff provide sessions on prayer, global missions, testimonies, and biblical justice issues like poverty and human trafficking.
In Community
Evenings bring team nights, worship, and reflection. Students process what they are experiencing and encourage one another as they grow. The week ends with a commissioning service, celebrating all God has done.
This is more than a trip—it’s a training ground for lifelong discipleship. Students return with deeper faith, broader vision, and lasting compassion.
On Outreach
Afternoons are spent in the city and surrounding neighborhoods of Ensenada. Students will:
-
Build homes through Homes of Hope, providing safe housing for families in need.
-
Partner with local churches, orphanages, and soup kitchens to serve children and families.
-
Spend time with people in rehabilitation centers and hear stories of transformation.
-
Step into evangelism opportunities—sharing their faith and stories of God’s love.
