CHURCH LEADERS

   "Loren Cunningham has been one of the most adventuresome visionaries of our time. What he has accomplished staggers the imagination. God gave him a dream and he lived it out--very few of us do that. Wherever I go I seem to run into people who have been discipled into radical discipleship by YWAM. Those who have been a part of their program prove to be a great gift to churches around the world. Their spirituality, their ability to witness, and their commitment to take seriously the teachings of Christ have impacted Christendom. I can safely say that YWAM is one of the most important and effective movements in Christendom today."
   Dr. Tony Campolo, Professor of Sociology, Eastern College, St. Davids, Pennsylvania


   "We congratulate Youth With A Mission on their vision and creativity in training youth to reach around the world for Christ in education, mercy ministries, evangelism and frontier missions. We rejoice with you in the faithfulness of God and of His people! May God continue to bless you and use you mightily as you invest in and contribute to the lives of Christian young people in your efforts to reach the world for Christ."
   Dr. David Yonggi Cho, Senior Pastor, Yoido Full Gospel Church, Seoul, Korea


   "Over the last 40 years, Youth With A Mission has become one of the premier missionary organizations in the world. Not only has it effectively spread the gospel and ministered to practical needs of the underprivileged around the globe, it has captured the imagination and energy of young people, infusing them with a vision--and providing a unique way--for reaching the lost!"
   Bill McCartney, Founder & President, Promise Keepers


   "I first learned about YWAM 25 years ago in connection with the Bibles and other Christian literature we print for difficult areas of the world. I was inspired to realize that there are selfless soldiers of Jesus Christ around the world willing to give all in any situation. The feet and hands of YWAM have been a tremendous help for the gospel. They were then and still are today the feet and hands of Christ."
   Tom White, Director, The Voice of the Martyrs



   MISSION LEADERS

   "You have been an example of courage and innovative commitment to the cause of Christ. We have had many wonderful occasions to partner with YWAM workers in proclaiming the good news around the world. We have always appreciated your forthrightness and love. We have been encouraged to find such a kindred spirit between our two organizations. May God bless you with wisdom and strength to faithfully continue serving him until He returns to receive us into glory."
David Brickner, Executive Director, Jews for Jesus


   "I thank and praise our wonderful Lord for the world impact YWAM has had in helping to fulfill the Great Commission. Loren Cunningham along with the leadership and staff of YWAM has always been a great inspiration and blessing to me and it has been a great joy and privilege to work alongside them for the gospel. Their faith, boldness and zeal for our dear Lord have been a significant factor in this greatest-of-all-time spiritual harvests for Christ's kingdom in the past 40 years."
   Dr. Bill Bright, Founder and President, Campus Crusade for Christ International



   "YWAM is a wonderful blessing to the whole body of Christ. Their courageous pioneer spirit is helping to take the gospel to the most remote corners of the world."
   Paul Eshleman, The Jesus Film Project



   "Youth With A Mission is one of the most cutting-edge ministries I know. I appreciate their open structure and passion for winning people to Jesus with all and any means possible. I encourage everyone to support and get involved with the exciting ministries of YWAM!"
   Dr. Hans Finzel, Executive Director, CB International



   "It has been my privilege over the years to observe and participate with Youth With A Mission on numerous projects around the world. 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."
   Franklin Graham, President, Samaritan's Purse


   "YWAM has made a tremendous impact over the years in challenging both young and old alike to make themselves available to Christ for service in worldwide missions. I remember when I first came in contact with YWAM in Nepal in 1973-76. In those days you were known as Dilaram House and you had a special ministry with world travelers. My wife and I were impressed with the dedication and the servant hearts of your workers. Over the years many of the children of our members have joined YWAM to work in various ministries around the world. Some of your short-term workers have joined us in the Bible translation task. We have counted it as a privilege to be partners with you in carrying out the Great Commission. We are praying that the Lord will continue to show us ways in which we can partner together in reaching the remaining unreached people groups of the world in the coming years."
   Dick Hugoniot, President, Wycliffe Bible Translators International


   "YWAM is a unique contribution to world mission. YWAM has been highly effective in attracting mission entrepreneurs, especially among young people, and mobilizing them for a wide range of important mission work. Sprawling, sometimes messy and very nimble, YWAM's entrepreneurial spirit is the envy of the larger, more structured missions. YWAM's dependence on the movement of the Spirit of God in directing its work is a witness to all of us."
   Bryant Myers, Vice-President, World Vision



   MUSICIANS AND OTHERS

   "I know of no other organization in the Christian missionary field that has produced and continues to produce such outstanding, mature and Spirit-led young men and women."
   David Aikman, author and former TIME Magazine editor, Washington D.C.


   "My life has been so powerfully impacted by missions. I've been involved with trips to India, Calcutta, India, to Romania, Bucharest, Romania, to Ecuador. And I just have seen God move through those trips powerfully in my life and seen how God uses that to change people's lives in those countries. I have had some very close friends of mine who have worked with Youth With A Mission and been on mission trips and their lives have been radically turned around by working with this ministry. So, I encourage people considering going on a missions trip to link up with YWAM because it is an incredible ministry."
  Rebecca Saint James, musician



   "YWAM has been an incredible inspiration to thousands of people around the world-refreshing the parts other ministries cannot reach."
   Martin Smith, lead vocalist, Delirious? England, UK



   "I am a big believer in the roaring lambs philosophy of showing our faith through our actions, not just our words. That's what I admire about YWAM--they take this philosophy worldwide!"
   Michael W. Smith, musician


   MINISTRY LEADERS

   "We all rejoice in the way God has blessed this organization in reaching people all over the world for the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep up the good work. You have my support and my prayers. "
   Billy Graham



   "Youth With A Mission has been a powerful force within the Bethel community for Kingdom values and global servanthood. Hundreds of students have been challenged and equipped to represent Christ around the world."
   George K. Brushaber, President, Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota



   "Thank God for Youth With A Mission! It's a clear path for kids in a cluttered world. It's a clear path to Jesus Christ, a clear path to significance and satisfaction and a clear path to discovering what we were created for sacrificial service to God and man. Thank you, YWAM, for 40 years of dynamic ministry to Christ and kids!"
   Denny Rydberg, President, Young Life International
