8 About YWAM Youth With A Mission draws people from a variety of backgrounds to work in a vast spectrum of evangelistic activities in over130 countries. Young people, families, retired persons, recent high school graduates and Ph.D.'s are among our ranks. People from over one hundred nations and many denominations are included, from the new babies in Christ to church leaders and missionaries with many years of experience. YWAM Statement of Faith Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is an International movement of Christians from numerous denominations dedicated to presenting Jesus personally to this generation, to mobilizing as many as possible to help in this task, and to training and equipping believers for their part in fulfilling the Great Commission. As citizens of God's kingdom, we are called to love, worship, and obey our Lord. We are to love and serve His Body, the Church, and to present the whole Gospel for every human throughout the entire world. Vision Statement The vision of YWAM San Francisco is that each person in San Francisco and the Bay Area would know the lifechanging love and power of Jesus Christ and that the city would have an influential voice of redemption to the world. Cities Outreach Mission Adventures is a part of our Cities Outreach Department. The purpose of these ministries is to equip the local church to reach their communities, their cities, and their world with the love of Christ by helping them grow in prayer, service and evangelism.

9 Ministry Opportunities Service Opportunities Glide Memorial: Your team will spend time preparing and serving meals to 800 people who go through the food line for a meal. Food Bank: Food is provided to eligible non-profit organizations each week. They are always in need of people to stack and sort food. This is a day-long activity. Evangelism Opportunities Homeless Plunge: In this powerful activity, the team will assume the role of a homeless person and visit places that are frequented by the homeless population. They will have to get around the city on limited resources, praying and talking to people as they go along. This activity is individual to each group and can be extreme or mild depending upon your team. This is a daylong activity. Sack Lunch Evangelism: This involves going to a park or plaza with two sack lunches: one for yourself and one to share. The team will sit down and share their lunches with someone at the park while engaging in conversation. Hot Chocolate Evangelism: Offering a cup of hot chocolate is an icebreaker, making it easier for teams to approach people they meet on the street. What starts off as a cup of hot chocolate on a cold San Francisco night often ends in prayer and powerful conversation. Worship Evangelism: This involves taking a group out on the streets and playing worship music. While some of the team members are playing instruments, others can worship and talk to people who stop to listen. Note: Your team needs a worship leader for this activity. If your group is larger than 10 people, you may want to have an additional worship leader so you can split into groups. Prayer Station: In this activity, your group will go out and pray for people s felt needs. You will set up a station where people can come to receive prayer and then you will canvass the immediate area asking people if they want to receive prayer for some need. If you have artists in your group, and would like to bring supplies for painting, you have the option to have a few students set up to paint with prayer boxes around them. Other students are nearby canvassing and asking people if they would like prayer. Project Open Hand: This is a non-religious, non-profit group that provides services to those suffering with HIV/AIDS and other chronic illnesses. They have a grocery store that provides healthy foods to clients, a Meals on Wheels program which delivers food to the homebound, and a meal program that cooks food for those that come into the center. Our teams help out in the grocery store or in meal preparation. (Ten people at a time and for those 15 years or older. This is a day-long activity) St. Anthony s: Get involved in serving meals at one of San Francisco s major feeding programs. Since the1950 s, St. Anthony s ministry has grown to include a medical clinic, social services, outreach to seniors, a shelter for women, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, job training, and public education. This activity lasts 5 hours. Bucket Brigade: Traversing the streets, entering into grocery stores, restaurants, and anywhere the Lord leads and asking for permission to serve them. How do you serve? Simply clean their windows, bathrooms or anything else they request. You will also be cleaning the streets along the way. Love Feast for the Homeless: In our innercity neighborhood there is a large portion of homeless people. Many of these homeless are lonely, hurt, frustrated and in need of genuine friendships. Your youth will go into the streets to invite people, cook lunch for about people, set a nice table and have fellowship with the guests. You are encouraged to put on a program with songs and testimonies as components of the dinner. (Team of at least 30 required.)

10 Prayer Opportunities High Places: This prayer journey takes you to a high point in the city where your youth group spends time in prayer, worship, and scripture proclamation over the city. You can also use this time for team bonding. Treasure Hunt: Your kids are sent by public transportation to three major areas of the city, praying and evangelizing as they serve. This is a fun opportunity for participants to get a sense of the economic and cultural diversity of the city as they visit some of San Francisco s famous landmarks. This is a day-long activity. The Hunt: Your team is divided into smaller groups which compete against each other to fulfill a list of required activities within our neighborhood. This is a great mixture of fun and prayer, which unifies the members of your group as they work together to accomplish each task. Sample activities include: ride the elevators of three local hotels to their highest floor; Find the most creative way to bless a homeless person; bless a police officer or security guard. Prayer Safari: This activity takes youth to churches around the city. While at these churches, they pray blessings over the church leadership and congregation, receiving scriptures to bring encouragement to the church. Each prayer team then writes a card to that church, sharing the encouragement and scripture God has given them. This is a day-long activity. Skyscraper Safari: Your team will be given the directions, history, as well as other important information on some of the famous skyscrapers located in the heart of the financial district. They will intercede for the men and women who work at these office buildings, and pray for financial decisions and how they will affect the world. Neighborhood Prayer Walks: Youth are sent out in groups of three or more, praying as they walk. We have many different walks around the city so groups can spread out and experience the city as they pray. Human Trafficking Prayer-walk: This prayer-walk will focus on the issues of modern day slavery which is so prevalent here in San Francisco. Teams will be briefed on the issues of human trafficking before going on. Due to the sensitivity of this issue we limit teams to 10 people and allow no one younger then 15 years old to participate.

11 Target Areas THE TENDERLOIN It is a melting pot of all cultures and home to many immigrant peoples. Homelessness, poverty, drug and alcohol abuse abound the area. There is also a large elderly community living here. It is just minutes away from posh hotels and the Union Square Shopping District. THE FINANCIAL DISTRICT The Financial District is the center of commerce in San Francisco and influences the entire world. There are beautiful buildings, exclusive clothing stores and numerous expensive restaurants and cafes. HAIGHT AND ASHBURY This district is where the world wide Hippie Movement began. This district is a contrast of sorts, while there are still many leftover hippies from the 60 s. This area promotes the idea of total acceptance; people are celebrated for the lifestyle that they have chosen to live. Many of the runaway youth that make the circuit of cities on the West Coast end up here. THE CASTRO Castro Street is the center of San Francisco s LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community. In this upscale neighborhood, there are many restaurants, shops, cafes, and gay bars promoting the homosexual lifestyle.

12 CHINATOWN San Francisco is home to the oldest Chinatown in North America. It is also the second largest Chinese community outside of Asia. Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are major religions here. MISSION DISTRICT This largely Latino neighborhood is named for the first mission that was built there in San Francisco s early days by Spanish monks. Today it is a neighborhood celebrated for it s palisades of murals, unique boutiques, coffee shops and some of the best food in the city. NORTH BEACH The area known today as North Beach was an actual beach, filled in with soil years ago. Mention North Beach and what comes to mind is the arts, crafts, and jazz festivals; and a storied history involving known writers and musicians, movie sets and nightclubs. BAYVIEW HUNTER S POINT This neighborhood, comprised mainly of African American, Asian, and Latino residents, is affected by much lower income and employment rates than the rest of San Francisco due mainly to the closure of shipyards. Hundreds of at-risk youth live in this culturally rich area.
