We are the Waves…
YWAM is called to be constantly…
- covenantal
- apostolic
- viral
- global
As an all-volunteer, faith-missionary movement YWAM includes…
- every nationality, tribe, ethnicity (people groups), and language group
- all generations, but with youth as the majority.
Therefore, as long as YWAM has these elements and is…
- led and anointed by the Holy Spirit;
- continuing to be God-fearing, remaining close to Jesus as Lord;
- praising and worshiping him;
- advancing in the “alls” and “everys” of the Great Commission implicit in the covenantal vision of the “waves” which calls us to always innovate and co-create with God in fresh ways for the accomplishment of his purposes;
- doing all as a Bible-based movement, fulfilling all of His commands, with priestly intercession, and the five-fold ministry gifts operating among us;
- while building His kingdom, planting good seed that grows into mature followers of Jesus and Spiritually-alive, lasting institutions (such as schools for children, YWAM bases, University of the Nations campuses, churches, families, healthcare clinics, and more) that serve to transform both individuals and societies in every one of the 4K Omega Zones of geography and in all the social & demographic spheres and groups through servant leadership.
As long as we remain faithful to these, YWAM has a bright, fruitful, and growing future with God.
YWAM is and continues to be a global family of diverse ministries that are united in Christ with the same covenant, vision and values, as we are bonded together to Him and to one another, worshiping and learning together at the feet of godly and anointed teachers.
A YWAMer is someone who has completed a Discipleship Training School and who joyfully embraces our Statement of Purpose, Core Beliefs and Foundational Values, our Four Legacy Words, and our various Covenant Renewal Documents.
