But these values express who we are as an organization and unify our diverse family of ministries. Take a look! We seek to reflect who He is in every aspect of our lives and ministry.
The automatic overflow of knowing and enjoying fellowship with God is a desire to share Him with others. YWAM is called to make God known throughout the whole world, and into every area of society through evangelism, training and mercy ministries. We believe that salvation of souls should result in transformation of societies, thus obeying Jesus' command to make disciples of all nations. YWAM is committed to creating with God through listening to Him, praying His prayers and obeying His commands in matters great and small.
We are dependent upon hearing His voice as individuals, together in team contexts and in larger corporate gatherings, as an integral part of our process for decision making. YWAM is dedicated to worship Jesus and engage in intercessory prayer as integral aspects of daily life. YWAM is called to be visionary, continually receiving, nurturing and releasing fresh vision from God. We support the pioneering of new ministries and methods, always willing to be radical in order to be relevant to every generation, people group, and sphere of society.
We believe that the apostolic call of YWAM requires the integration of spiritual eldership, freedom in the Spirit and relationship, centered on the Word of God. YWAM is called to champion youth. We believe God has gifted and called young people to spearhead vision and ministry.
We are committed to value, trust, train, support, make space and release them. They are not only the Church of the future; they are the Church of today.
We commit to follow where they lead, in the will of God. YWAM is broad-structured and diverse, yet integrated. We are a global family of ministries held together by shared purpose, vision, values and relationship.
We believe that structures should serve the people and the purposes of God. Every ministry at every level has the privilege and responsibility of accountability to a circle of elders.
YWAM is international and interdenominational in its global scope as well as its local constituency. We believe that ethnic, linguistic and denominational diversity, along with redeemed aspects of culture, are positive factors that contribute to the health and growth of the Mission. We believe that the Bible makes a clear division between good and evil; right and wrong. The practical dimensions of life are no less spiritual than the ministry expressions.
Everything done in obedience to God is spiritual. We seek to honor God with all that we do, equipping and mobilizing men and women of God to take roles of service and influence in every area of society. YWAM is called to function in teams in all aspects of ministry and leadership.
We believe that a combination of complementary gifts, callings, perspectives, ministries and generations working together in unity at all levels of our Mission provides wisdom and safety.
Seeking God's will and making decisions in a team context allows accountability and contributes to greater relationship, motivation, responsibility and ownership of the vision. YWAM is called to servant leadership as a lifestyle, rather than a leadership hierarchy. Just as Jesus served His disciples, we stress the importance of those with leadership responsibilities serving those whom they lead.
YWAM is committed to doing first, then teaching. We believe that firsthand experience gives authority to our words.
Godly character and a call from God are more important then an individuals gifts, abilities and expertise. YWAM is dedicated to being relationship-oriented in our living and working together. We desire to be united through lives of holiness, mutual support, transparency, humility, and open communication, rather than a dependence on structures or rules. YWAM is called to value each individual.
We believe in equal opportunity and justice for all. Created in the image of God, people of all nationalities, ages and functions have distinctive contributions and callings. They also are expected to uphold the values of YWAM and are held accountable to these principles and convictions.
Although a student may study in the UofN without pursuing a degree, many students find a degree program beneficial in preparing for their life goals. We encourage students to intersperse their studies with practical experience on the field, so that their learning and their service build upon one another.
For this reason, there is no time limit for completing a UofN degree. All UofN applicants must first satisfactorily complete a fully qualified DTS, including the field assignment, before being permitted to attend any other course or being accepted into a degree program. Read more about getting started in missions with a DTS here. Their focus on evangelism is always great. YWAM has a tremendous team of dedicated servants of the Lord and I always marvel at how God has been able to use them in so many strategic areas of the world.
Keep up the good work. You have my support and my prayers. Smith, Contemporary Christian Musician. YWAMers are everywhere today and they are often on the cutting edge of mission advance. Since the days when I taught urban mission on a rocking houseboat in the Amsterdam harbor to an eager group of young missionaries, I have appreciated and praised God for this mission-focused organization. Polynesian voyagers from the Marquesas Islands are believed to have first settled on the Big Island about 1, years ago and lived together rather peacefully for centuries.
The Tahitians arrived later, bringing with them their god of war. On his second visit, a contentious series of events lead to his death at the hands of the natives. From , King Kamehameha battled to unify the Hawaiian Islands, eventually establishing a unified Hawaiian Kingdom.
After his death in , many cultural and spiritual shifts took place, paving the way for the arrival of Christianity. For example, the rigid class system was broken and people longed for the god of peace they had worshipped prior to the Tahitians. The Hawaiians waited with great expectation for the fulfillment of local prophecies concerning this god.
Little did they know that the fulfillment was on its way. The native priests declared that the Hawaiian God of Peace had returned in this new form. Sugar plantations also bloomed on the Hilo side in the 20th century.
