WHAT IS VAMOS BALKANS?

Vamos Balkans is a 12-week discipling missionary course in Croatia. It is a mixture of missionary theory and practice.  Here, you will dive deep into God’s heart for the nations, grow in your faith, and step into practical work in the missions. Whether you are stepping boldly into your calling or still figuring it out, Vamos will equip, encourage and challenge you to take steps forward.

TO WHOM?

Vamos Balkans is for you who are over 18 and want to serve God and find your place in His plan. Vamos is a step in God´s guidance for you. Let your faith become deeper and your vision be strengthened through the mission course. Start the adventure of your life in the plan of God.

There is no upper age limit for the course. It is also possible to participate with a family.

WHAT CAN YOU ACHIEVE?

The Vamos Mission course can help you to find God´s plan for your life. If your calling is indefinite, it will become clearer. If your calling is clear, it will become even stronger. Vamos Mission is a path, where your calling to the missions will become concrete in an international environment created by local churches and people from various countries.

At Vamos you will be equipped with concrete tools to fulfill your mission (Kairos, Al-Massira, Davar courses etc.). Your relationship with God will deepen and you will concentrate on working in the lead of the Holy Spirit. The companionship with your mentors, teachers, fellow students and local churches will strengthen your calling and its implementation.

The best thing about Vamos Mission was the variety of subjects, which allowed me to learn as much as possible. It was a privilege to be at Vamos, because in my daily life I would never have time to study missions so intensively and live my daily life with people who share the same calling.

Katri, Vamos Mission

Learning about the different forms of missionary work and the experiences of missionaries formed a great whole in Vamos. Each of them opened my eyes to see more and more paths. There are many ways to spread the gospel. There is no single path, but each person who responds to the call has his or her own path.
