In September, we had the great joy of coming together in Manila, Philippines, with 4,500 other YWAMers. This was a significant time, as it marked the first global gathering since YWAM’s founder, Loren Cunningham, graduated to glory.
We heard stories of YWAMers from around the world and how God used their steps of obedience to transform nations. We were reminded of foundational teachings and the Legacy Words that drive the direction of our mission, while also looking to the future to see where God is taking YWAM. And we championed the emerging generations to take their place in the missions field. It was a life-giving time as we remembered our past, celebrated our present, and prepared ourselves for our future.
We are thankful to have had a part in serving our international YWAM family. Faby Ruesga, one of our base directors, was the event manager of the gathering and our base had an opportunity to serve in different capacities on the ground.
During this time, Faby was also commissioned as part of the President’s Team of the University of the Nations which is YWAM's University and trains thousands around across the globe. In this position, she will be helping to make key decisions to influence the direction of YWAM's University and how it can be more effective in equipping those around the world.
