Youth With A Mission is for Christians who are committed to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-19), which includes living a godly life worthy of example. Your time here will be enjoyable, rewarding and challenging. We are committed to helping you grow as a disciple of Jesus and we look forward to your being here. However, being a disciple of Jesus includes taking responsibility for your life and conduct. Please read the following carefully.
Approximately 90% of the evangelical community of the world (Africa, Asia, and the Americas) considers alcoholic drinks and tobacco products totally off limits. Often in these contexts, alcohol and tobacco use is viewed as a sign that someone either does not know God or is turning away from Him. God has blessed YWAM with training bases that draw in and send out "internationals: so it is important that as a family we understand and honor one another in our conversations and actions.
We also want our staff to be free from bondage. If you are struggling in any area, please be open and honest with your leaders. If you are asking these questions and realizing you are doing things out of unhealthy motivations, we want to be here to walk you through to freedom and discipleship. It is when we are not open and honest about these issues that we begin to get in trouble.
We ask that you agree to absolutely no drunkenness during your time at YWAM Kaua'i, and no use of illegal drugs, or prescription drugs that are not yours. We also ask that if you are addicted to any substances or notice addictive patterns in your life that you would be open and honest with us from the beginning of the application process.
I agree to refrain from the use of illegal drugs, prescription drugs that are not my own, and drunkenness. If there is an issue with any of these things in my life, I will go to one of my leaders to be open, honest, and to welcome accountability in my life. I understand that if my leaders find out things regarding alcohol, tobacco or drugs about me from someone else, they have the right to question me as well as enforce any degree of discipline they see fit. I understand that if I break this contract, it could be grounds for dismissal.
My initials below signify that I agree to the above terms.*
