Jump into a life-changing adventure!

Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is a global missions movement with one simple vision — to know God and make Him known. YWAM Rotterdam is a pioneering YWAM location in the Netherlands, passionate about seeing lives transformed through training, evangelism and practical expressions of God’s love and justice.

As we grow, we’re building relationships and exploring new ministries with a particular focus on anti-trafficking and social justice — bringing God’s hope and justice into places of darkness.

A unique experience

Rotterdam is a vibrant, multicultural city full of opportunities to meet people, share your faith and make a difference. As the second-largest city in the Netherlands and home to Europe’s largest port, people and cultures from all over the world come together here.

During the DTS lecture phase, you’ll live in a beautiful monumental building in the village of Poortugaal, just outside Rotterdam.  It’s a peaceful place to live, learn and grow together — while staying closely connected to the city and its people.

Learning and living it out

Our DTS combines close-knit community with hands-on missions. You’ll grow in your relationship with God, live and learn together, and put what you discover into practice through evangelism, outreach and serving others in Rotterdam and beyond.

Following Jesus is about more than what happens in the classroom. It’s about living it out — sharing His love, bringing hope and making Him known wherever we go.
