Good News for a Change


Loren Cunningham had a vision during a missions trip to Nassau, Bahamas, and thus started an incredible journey and an incredible missions organization, YWAM, or Youth With a Mission. This year is their 50th anniversary. They are in over 180 countries with more than a thousand locations. On Sunday, we heard about the latest YWAM exploits from Loren. He was the guest speaker in our church. His was a truly inspiring message peppered with stories, facts and figures, and overall, just plain good news. The non Christian world has no clue as to what is going on in the spiritual realms of this world. Their (YWAM'S) goal, to preach the gospel to all nations, tribes, and tongues, is lofty, but they have a concrete and doable plan to accomplish it by 2020! I had no idea about the huge numbers of people being impacted by the gospel, the biggest numbers coming out of some Muslim countries. "The world is changing rapidly" is an undisputed axiom, but not all aspects of this change are reported in the secular media. I think they should get on it because it is the biggest thing to hit the earth in two thousand years. And that is Good News!

His goal is making disciples...not just preaching the gospel which isn't quite enough.
