YWAM Associates – what we’re about
in About
What we do
YWAM Associates offers Renewal Gatherings called “inTouch Camps” which are week-long “YWAM family” reunions in a good quality, spring or summertime fun and holiday setting. They currently take place in France, Germany, Norway and Switzerland.
We also offer occasional day reunions such as in Denmark in November 2011 and Ireland in April 2012.
YWAM training modules are available to Associates from time to time through “Equip 15 – 16, Europe” which is run by YWAM’s University of the Nations.
Newsletters are sent monthly by e-mail.
We run groups on Facebook for Associates in different countries.
Our values
YWAM Associates International is a ministry of Youth With A Mission. Our mission is to encourage and build up those who have served in, and been trained by, YWAM, through…
… Championing them as nation-disciplers wherever God has planted them in the mission fields of the seven arenas of society (home, church, media, education, the arts, business & government and healthcare) in order that they might fulfil God’s destiny for their lives.
… Strengthening them in their transition from missions to life after YWAM – helping to equip them as missions-minded activists for the rest of their lives.
… Valuing each individual, in or out of the mission. We aim to maintain relationships purely for the sake of those relationships (no hidden agendas).
… Networking former YWAMers with each other for mutual encouragement and possible sharing of ministry / giving in their own spheres of influence.
Some words from YWAM leaders
John Dawson, President of YWAM:
“YWAM Associates could be described as the largest ministry emanating from YWAM. A few years ago, we estimated that there are millions of people who have participated in our training schools and outreaches. That’s you! That’s YWAM Associates International.”
Loren & Darlene Cunningham, Founders of Youth With A Mission:
“You who have served in YWAM are part of a huge multitude – perhaps three or four million strong.
The fine print…
We make the assumption that everyone who leaves YWAM is in the will of God – we make no effort to re-recruit people. We do not fund-raise, though like all YWAM ministries, we are faith-based (God and His people have been faithful to provide for over 20 years of this ministry).
