Empowering young leaders to grow in faith and serve with love.

Prayer and fellowship during YANA’s So Much Potential Vacation Bible School program.

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is part of YANA’s annual mission trip to Korea and Indonesia.

Each summer, a dedicated team of volunteers travels to children’s homes in Korea and Indonesia, visiting orphans, training future VBS volunteers, and leading joyful, faith-filled programs designed to share God’s love through worship, teaching, and play.

The two-week program aims to empower young leaders, especially the children who have grown up with YANA, who, in turn, inspire and nurture other young hearts to serve and lead in the future.
