Niagara Falls and Buffalo NY   June 30th - July 11th 2026

We will head to Niagara Falls and Buffalo NY this Summer. We will serve the community of Niagara Falls, and a wonderful lady named Joanne who ministers to the kids, families, homeless, and prostitues of the "not so touristy" parts of the city of Niagara Falls, NY. We will run a 3 day VBS and Day Camp.
We will then join with the Buffalo Dream Center and will do many different things including food and clothing distribution to the homeless and refugees, , Kid’s Clubs, as well as street evangelism to the homeless, drug addicted, and prostitutes.

Check back soon! We will post more information about the trip.

You will meet the most precious people from all over the world in the neighborhoods of Niagara Falls NY.
The areas surrounding the Tourist Trap of the falls, are very impoverished, and really need to hear of the love of Jesus!

We will visit Niagara Falls and do the "tourist things", but we will also have a chance to witness God’s awesome creation!
As we are in the Buffalo area, we will also indulge in some authentic Buffalo Wings!

Killarney Ireland   July 27th - August 6th 2026

This will be our third trip to Killarney, Ireland and our second time since 2019 of doing Camp Gattawanna there.
Killarney is situated in Southern Ireland with beautiful, picturesque views all around, from quaint thatched roofed cottages, to the Cliffs of Moher.
We love the people of Ireland and, like much of the world, has become much more diverse, culture wise.
We will run our camp for the children there as well as minister with Living Rock Church and serve where they need us.
We will have oppourtunities to do street evangelism and see many sites!

The cost for this trip will run around $3500. With the prices of fuel so up in the air, it is almost impossible to know what flights will costs.

Check back soon! Or email info@ywamknoxville.org for more info.
We will post more information about this trip soon.

You will meet the most wonderful people in Ireland. Some from the area for generations, , many who are immigrants.
Like the song states, "Jesus loves the little children of the world!", and we love being His hands and feet, and arms and ears to these precious gifts from God!

We will visit the Cliffs of Moher and possibly travel the famous Ring of Kerry, to the sites where some of the Star Wars sequels were filmed.
God's creative hand are truly visible through the awesome sites and views of this beautiful country!
