Work Duties

An integral part of Youth With a Mission is getting our hands dirty. We want our students to get used to doing things that they will be doing in the Nations. This includes working in the kitchen, the grounds, and of course here at the farm.
Work Duties are a great time for side by side discipleship. Jesus taught the disciples as they traveled and not just from a mountain top. Work duties are a great time for students to process what they have learned, to practically apply principles, and simply discuss their lectures.
