The Invitation, May 9, 2024
Thank you, YWAM Global Family, for your prayers for Darlene Cunningham and the first 2024 Cunningham Legacy Tour. Darlene and team (Giacomo Coghi, Garth Gustafson, David Hamilton and others) have completed the final leg of the Americas Tour, where several thousand YWAM leaders and staff gathered at the events in Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, USA and Brazil. Dar shares that these times with the YWAM family have far exceeded her hopes and expectations as each gathering celebrated Loren’s life and reflected on YWAM’s true leader, Jesus. There have been amazing moves of God’s Spirit among those who attended, and great excitement and anticipation for the bright future God has for YWAM.
Please take a moment right now to pray for Darlene and the Legacy Tour, and please also pray with us on May 9, the prayer day for YWAM’s prayer initiative called The Invitation.
- The first prayer point is praise and thanksgiving! As you may know, Darlene was quite ill for several months following Loren’s graduation. Barely out of the woods from pneumonia–the final ailment that threatened to keep her home–she set out on this Legacy Tour in faith that God would heal and energize her. Thanks to your prayers and His response, she has been wonderfully sustained “on the road,” as she seeks to do the things God asks her to do, and take the rest she needs, leaving some parts for other team members to do. Pray for continued strength and wisdom for Darlene.
- Upcoming Cunningham Legacy events are posted on LorenCunningham.com in the “New” section. 2024 includes Central Asia, Norway, Mongolia, South Korea, South Africa, Nigeria and New Zealand. More events are shaping up for 2025. Please pray for each of these events, for fresh words of the Lord to emerge for the thriving future God has for YWAM and for new young leaders to be called and say “Yes.”
- Continue to pray for those impacted by the Tanzania tragedy and the fatal car crash last year in Brazil. Honoring these fallen heroes has been a focus of each Legacy Event, sending out a “Macedonian Call” for others to rise up and fill the space their departures created. Pray that God will accomplish the victory He has in His heart to do, to redeem what the enemy intended for evil and defeat.
