WHAT IS YWAM?

Youth With A Mission is a global movement of Christians from many cultures, age groups and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world.

YWAM started in 1960. What began as a vision of waves of young people going all over the earth, YWAM is now in 180+ countries, with over 20,000 workers.

YWAM functions as a family of ministries rather than a centralized agency.

We reach out through three main areas-- Evangelism, Training and Mercy Ministry.

“YWAMers don’t simply log miles. They travel with a purpose, often to the most difficult and needy places. No matter where I go in the world, YWAM is there–or at least within hiking distance. I know of no other organization so dedicated or intrepid. No place and no one is beyond the reach of this dedicated band. No less impressive is YWAM’s versatility. Like a multi-faceted gem, it is at once difficult to define and beautiful to behold. Mercy Ships, arts programs, book publishing, cutting-edge research, a university or two. What a program, what a legacy, what a God! And through it all, YWAM has never lost sight of the fact that good programs must follow good character. That is why I trust this ministry and am proud to have invested a decade of service with them. Any accomplishments I may realize in life are surely the outflow of their faithful nature.”
