It should confirm that you are an active member in good standing and that they support your participation in YexusFest 2026 as a volunteer. The letter does not need to be long—just a brief statement verifying your identity and that your church leadership approves your involvement.

Welcome attendees, check them in using QR codes, and help guide them to where they need to be. If you’re organized and friendly, this is a great front-line ministry.

Is lodging included?

Will YexusFest cover my travel costs?

No. YexusFest does not cover any travel or personal expenses for volunteers—including board members, planning committee, or general volunteers. Every person involved serves as a volunteer and funds their own way.

This is because 100% of the funds raised for YexusFest go directly toward the conference itself—including logistics, facilities, worship production, materials, and outreach. Our heart is to create a powerful and life-changing event that furthers the Gospel message and expands God’s Kingdom. Your willingness to serve and invest in this mission helps make that possible.

Are meals provided?

Yes, meals will be provided for volunteers from Thursday through Sunday during the main conference dates.
