YWAM Ruurikkala

The vision of YWAM Ruurikkala is above all to be a place for Gods presence and a training base for knowing God and making Him known in Finland, Israel and the nations!

Our vision is to be a healthy community, where we grow closer to God by being transparent, honest and committed to obedience ~ A center where we serve with a happy and devoted heart, working diligently and doing good to others. We are a community where the Word of God is the supreme authority, the foundation of our lives and our growth.

The focus of what we do is summed up by the idea of ‘service in three key ministry areas

1. A Centre for Prayer and Praise
2. A Training and Missions Center
3. One New Man (Ephesians 2:11-22)

Ruurikkala is a place for Gods presence, out of which we will be inspired, innovate and create new things. We believe that God will give us new ways to bless our community and our society, as well as the nations through new ideas, education and ministries. Israel is at the core of our calling, which is reflected in a diversity of ways in life at the center.
