Hi! My name is Josh Hershberger, and I am a missionary with YWAM!

Starting in August 2026, I will be moving to Tønsberg, Norway for 2 years to plant a YWAM (Youth With A Mission) base! YWAM is a global movement of Christians from many cultures, age groups and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world! The vision for YWAM started in 1960 when God called a man named Loren Cunningham to send out "waves of missionaries" to every country in the world with the simple goal to know God and to make Him known!

I felt a call from the Lord to join a team of 10 people to start a YWAM  worship and prayer initiative in Tønsberg, where my role will be leading worship, giving worship training, and leading mission trips to places such as Thailand and Japan. Our goal as a base will be to host a resting place for the Lord. We will be hosting prayer and worship nights throughout the week, and hosting people for meals to build a strong, Jesus centered community. He is the focus of everything that we do, and who we put our trust in. What we do is worthless without Him being behind it. 

As a missionary, I have the responsibility of raising 100% of my support! I see it as a blessing rather than a burden to be able to rely fully on the Lord in every aspect of my life, including finances. I believe that the Lord doesn't lack finances, and he will provide (Matthew 6:25-33), and so I am trusting the Lord to meet my goal of $2500 in monthly support.

Every donation will go towards things like groceries, housing, transportation, communication, and living expenses. Psalm 24:1 says "The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it". Everything belongs to This includes finances and resources.

So if you are considering donating, please spend time in prayer on whether you should give, and if so, how much.

I would love to have you partner with me in supporting this way!

Josh
