Practical Information

Cost

As you volunteer with us, in general, you need to pay for housing and food*.

*Unless something else has been communicated with you.

The monthly cost for this is approximately 270 €.

This includes four meals a day, and a nice room at our dorm :)

Housing

Our dorm is an old prison. But don't worry – it's been greatly renovated and is a nice place to stay! Depending on availability you can choose between a shared room, and a single room for a higher price.

Work Permit?

People from outside EU/EEA need to apply for a workers-permit in order to work as a Mission Builder (costs about 600$).

FAQ

More questions? This page has been made for our students,

but you might find an answer here.

Practical work is just as spiritual as preaching the Gospel.

God is calling skilled workers to help build his kingdom, listening to him for strategies even in the practical and the mundane.
