Try to shine as lights among the people of this world, as you hold firmly to the message that gives life. So that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or laboured in vain. Your faith in the Lord and your service are like a sacrifice offered to him.
Philippians 2:15b-17a

“I thought I was there to serve and give out, but in the end I received just as much back in return and learned so much…”
Y365 Student – Hamilton 2010

Y365 is about combining faith and deeds and committing a year to Jesus Christ. It gives you the opportunity to use your passions and gifts and live out your faith in your local community. You don’t have to wait until the big OE time to do a mission year, do it right now! It’s a chance to get involved in a few hours of ministry every week. 

Y365 becomes the catalyst for action as we work with churches, community service groups and Christian organisations who provide opportunities to do things like; work in hospitals, work in rest homes for the elderly, helping on camps and in kid’s programmes, help in after school care, take part in OAC street evangelism, serving your school, leading a Christian group at school, helping in a soup kitchen or op shops, the possibilities are endless!

Early in term one there is an initial gathering for training, prayer and equipping and then each term we meet for a ½ a day of sharing and further training and prayer.

In addition there are opportunities to get involved in YOUTHSERVE urban mission weeks each school holidays in various parts of the country.

Y365 is for high school aged students and the cost for the year is only < $25 upon registration and covers admin costs, costs for a light lunch at the training/support days, your mentoring support and aY365 T Shirt for you to wear on placement.
