YWAM Life
A Day in the Life of a YWAM student or volunteer typically begins at 8 AM with personal prayer and devotional time. At least once each week--usually on Monday mornings, we have worship time together.
Classes run from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM with a 15-minute mid-morning break. Lunch is from 1:15 PM to 2:00 PM, followed by two hours of community work duties, giving you the opportunity to interact with fellow students and staff from around the world.
Dinner is served at 6:00 PM. Of course, meals often feature the cuisine of non-American cultures.
Evenings feature a variety of special classes, time for private study and/or opportunities to rest and relax. You can even go down the street to a local gym, where you can improve your body and get some time alone with God!
Weekends are generally free for recreation, homework and church, unless a field trip or special outing is scheduled.
During the spring & summer months, you can enjoy our Powhatan Community pool, tennis courts, basketball courts and baseball field.
Do you like parties? Well, YWAM-VA is the place for you--especially on Fridays nights. In Jewish tradition, Shabbat begins every Friday at 6pm and is celebrated with a fine meal involving more than just food, but blessing, prayer, praise and singing as well! Add to the mix the myriad cultural traditions of nations such as Brazil, South Korea, Belarus, Gabon, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Colombia, Mexico, El Salvador, Germany and others, and you have a celebration you'll never forget!
After Shabbat Dinner comes a grand community kitchen cleanup, followed by Movie Night in the Studio.
All during the week, you are welcome to participate in the ongoing group prayer ministry of the Richmond International House of Prayer (RIHOP), located just 2 miles from our main campus in Richmond's old downtown area.
