SERVE WITH US LONG TERM.
Every journey starts with a step. We’d love to help you start your YWAM Staffing journey. Take a look at our long term page to see if you’re interested.
DTS
Are you passionate about young people? Do you love discipleship and seeing people fully understand their calling? DTS staff are those who work directly with our DTS students to help mentor them and lead them closer in their relationship with God, as well as help lead the students in their practical missions outreach. We’re looking for people who have done their DTS who are passionate about guiding others into a similar experience!
SBS
We love the Bible and believe it is essential to our walk with the Lord. Our heart is to inspire others to fall in love with the Bible and apply its truth to their life. If you have completed a nine-month SBS and have a desire to take part in establishing a Japanese bilingual SBS, please apply.
KITCHEN
No one can function on an empty stomach! If you love cooking or baking, and helping create community, we could use your help! Along with hospitality, our kitchen crew is vital in helping us grow our community and bringing the family atmosphere that we value. Besides keeping our staff fed, the kitchen crew is also responsible for the cleanliness and organization of the kitchen space.
MEDIA
This one’s for the creatives and the communicators. If you’re skilled in areas such as graphic design, marketing, photography, or film, we have a spot for you! We’re looking to create a team to help with school promotion, the running of our social media accounts, creative media projects for local churches and organizations, and much more!
HOSPITALITY
Japan is the land of hospitality! Making people feel welcome and comfortable is something that Japanese people do so well, and we try to carry that same spirit here at the base! We’re looking for people who have a heart for making others feel at home and building community at the base for guests, staff, and students. Whether it’s through making beds, writing welcome cards, baking yummy food, keeping things tidy and organized, or welcoming guests, we’re looking for people with a heart to serve others well and make them feel like they belong.
LOCAL OUTREACH
From English teaching to kid’s ministry to prayer walking to coffee shop evangelism, we feel like Japan is full of endless opportunities! Our vision for the base is for it to be a pillar of the neighborhood. We want to see more base ministries flowing into and supporting our local community, and we’re looking for different ways to do that. If you have things that you are passionate about and feel like God has put on your heart to do, we want to try and make those things a reality here in Japan.

WORSHIP
We want to make worship and intercession the foundation of everything that we do as a YWAM base, and we need a gifted worship leader to help take us to that place. If your anointing is in music and worship, and your skill is in leading others into encounters with God, we need your help! Our worship team is responsible for our base community times and for the ministry that we do in our worship nights for the community.
