Volunteers Needed to Serve at Renew 2025

May 28 - June 2, 2025 | Egmond aan Zee, Netherlands

Renew 2025 is a unique gathering designed to give GEM workers in Europe the chance to rest, recharge, and deepen their connection with both God and their fellow missionaries. To make this event as impactful as possible, we’re in need of volunteers to join the Service Team and help create a welcoming atmosphere for missionaries and their families.

The Service Team consists of two key groups: the Hospitality Team and the Children’s Ministry Team. These teams are essential to the event’s success, ensuring that participants feel cared for, refreshed, and ready to re-engage with their ministries.

We’re looking for 60–75 volunteers to join us, with the greatest need being on the Children’s Ministry Team, where we seek to recruit 45–50 helpers. By creating a safe and engaging environment for kids (ages 0–12) through large group activities and breakout sessions, volunteers allow parents to focus fully on their sessions and experience renewal.

The cost is $1,240 per person, which includes meals and accommodations. Participants must cover the cost of their own airfare. The application deadline is February 15, 2025.

If you’re interested in making a meaningful impact by serving GEM missionaries and their families, contact us at [email protected] for more details on how to get involved.

*Note: US travelers depart on May 27.
