What is YWAM and YWAM Tyler?

YWAM

Every story has a beginning, and, most begin without a whole lot of hoopla or fanfare. Not ours. Ours began in 1960 with a zealous young man named Loren Cunningham who seriously rocked the boat of acceptable-missionary-models with a vision. He saw young people, teenagers, as waves pounding the shores of the continents bringing with them the message of hope to a dying world. Now, if Loren had brothers he may have ended up like Joseph. Instead he managed to escape with little more than a bunch of people thinking he was, well, a dreamer. A little perseverance mixed with large amounts of grace soon led to the birth of Youth With A Mission.

Today Youth With A Mission (YWAM) is a global movement of Christians of all ages, races, and nationalities from just about every sort of background you can imagine. United in our common goal we have set out to the ends of the earth to “know God and make Him known.”

YWAM Tyler

Here in the heart of east Texas, at one of YWAM’s largest training centers, thousands of young people have developed a personal and intimate relationship with the God who gave them life. There is really nothing like hearing the voice of God for yourself and experiencing the adventure that comes with obedience. With eyes fixed on Christ, our staff, from all over the planet, are here to help you develop a meaningful walk with God and launch you into a life of Christian ministry. Serving worldwide, we are involved with health care, relief work, English courses, drama, and more as we seek to make God known.

Every organization has a story and a mission, ours is training people to better know the Lord, for them to then get in touch with others that do not know Christ and to share their faith, and to begin new ministries that help honor God and change the world.
