YWAM Poland
As YWAM Poland, we are one body of Christ but spread out for this moment in different locations. We believe that now is God’s timing to raise up new generations of missionaries who will serve in this country and beyond.

Poland
YWAM Ustroń
YWAM Ustroń is based in the mountain town of Ustroń in the Silesian Beskids in southern Poland. It is also home to Kings Kids, where children, youth and families serve God together across the generations.
We run Discipleship Training Schools (DTS), a life-changing adventure of knowing God and making Him known.
YWAM Kraków
This historical and cultural city in the heart of Europe has so much to offer and many opportunities for ministering the Gospel. Being a modern, international and university city, our YWAM missionaries have thrived here for more than 30 years.
We have a great children’s ministry in partnership with the local church and cooperate with a shelter for the homeless. We run discussion groups for high school and university students exploring the times in which we live. Scripture provides coherent answers and helps to ground our sense of reality.
YWAM Rzeszów – Wave of Revival
Wave of Revival began in 2022 to help refugees from the war in Ukraine. Today our multicultural team in Rzeszów longs to see revival and reconciliation in Eastern Europe, reaching youth, children and families through evangelism, practical workshops and community activities.
YWAM Poznań
YWAM Poznań serves in one of Poland’s oldest and most vibrant cities, a lively university city in the west of the country. We would love to hear from you if you want to pray, visit or serve with the team.
YWAM Rzeszów – TOUCH Ministries
Our second team in Rzeszów focuses on children who have experienced trauma. We aim to empower vulnerable children, youth and families to fulfil their God-given purpose through connection with the Body of Christ, inspired by Matthew 25:40.
We serve Polish and Ukrainian foster families, orphanages and refugee children, creating safe places where they can heal and hear the gospel. Together with churches, organisations and authorities we train volunteers and offer care, life-skills education and mercy ministry.
KINGS KIDS
Kings Kids International (KKI) serves children, youth and families in Ustroń, Namysłów, Warsaw and several other cities across Poland.
Kings Kids Ustroń
In Ustroń, Kings Kids is part of the YWAM community, mobilising and equipping children, youth and families to know God, bring Him joy and make Him known together.
Kings Kids Namysłów
This picturesque little town in the southwestern part of Poland is home to another of our Kings Kids teams and they serve with a local church. There are great opportunities waiting here to be pursued.
Kings Kids Warsaw
In Poland’s capital, Kings Kids reaches children, youth and families with the love of God, helping the generations to know Him, bring Him joy and make Him known together.
A Brief History of YWAM Poland
YWAM has been working in Poland since the mid 70’s through individuals and teams that partnered with local churches and Christian movements. In 1990 the first DTS was run in the nation and by 1992 YWAM had a staff of 20 people. The following year YWAM Kings Kids was established, impacting the lives of hundreds of children and their families. This early investment and foundation has helped to shape and deepen our ministries that carry on today.
