I am Huijin Jeong, a missionary with YWAM (Youth With A Mission). YWAM began with the vision of waves in Habakkuk 2:14; young people spreading across the nations like waves. Today, YWAM trains and commissions people of all generations, especially young people, to share the Gospel across the world.

YWAM’s foundational training program is the Discipleship Training School (DTS), designed to equip people with a biblical worldview in contrast to the false values of the world, raising up disciples who live for the Kingdom of God. In April 2023, I did my DTS at YWAM Lausanne, Switzerland, and in December, I graduated from the Discipleship Bible School (DBS). DBS is a three-month program where students and staff read through all 66 books of the Bible in community, discovering God’s character and His redemptive plan. After nine months of training, I came to understand that true joy is found in following truth and living for the Kingdom of God.

In September 2024, God called me to serve as a translator in a bilingual (Korean-English) DBS school. As a translator, I translated three hours of lectures daily and small gatherings, and worked on translating lecture slides. Through this experience, I discovered profound joy in serving where God had called me.

It was during this time that I found God’s calling as a missionary. God gave me many promises in His Word, so I chose to obey. However, I still found myself struggling to fully surrender in obedience, so I laid my heart before God. In response, He spoke clearly that He would make me grow as a leader who actively listens to His voice and obeys with faith through the SPL (School of Pioneering Leadership) at YWAM Château in Savigny, Switzerland.

Through SPL, I am learning various leadership tools, including fundraising, active listening, and Jesus’ ministries. Continuing from my DBS experience, I am also serving by translating lecture materials, media content, and lectures—further developing my skills and deepening my growth.

In this journey of obedience, YWAM missionaries rely on God for financial provision. YWAM'ers do not expect a salary but instead dedicate themselves, their time, and their gifts to God for the sake of ministry. YWAM missionaries engage in faith-based ministry through fundraising, building partnerships with supporters to trust God together and experience the abundance of His Kingdom.
