YWEA (Youth World Evangelism Action)

YWEA (Youth World Evangelism Action) is the youth missions’ program of the Church of God, sponsored by International Youth and Discipleship. For nearing 60 years youth, adults and children have generously participated in the ministry of YWEA. Through YWEA, Bible Schools, churches, Ministry Training Centers, and orphanages have been built and blessed. As a result of the training, preparation, and evangelism thousands have been saved, discipled, received the infilling of the Holy Spirit and been deployed as pastors, teachers and church leaders. Few ministries have had greater success or produced such lasting fruit as YWEA.

YWEA is not just another “program.” YWEA is not a “tax” or “fee” that a church is obligated to pay. YWEA is not just another “fund-raiser” that pastors, youth and children’s leaders or churches are expected to handle. YWEA is so much more!

YWEA in Virginia is an opportunity for your church to step beyond ministry “within the church walls” and minister to people thousands of miles away. More importantly, YWEA is about raising up a generation of children, teenagers, (and adults) who live a Great Commission lifestyle. YWEA is allowing every-day, average people the chance to make an eternal impression in this world! In a world of self-absorption, YWEA reminds us to care, reach out, and love the world!
