A little YWAM side-note

So my mom has always told us kids that she would support us finically to do a year of Bible Collage. Both Shauna and Jennette (my sisters) did a year and after visiting them a few times I thought I had my mind up to go pick one of the ones they had gone too. Anyways when the time came for me to start thinking of where I wanted to go I remembered Jennette looking into a bunch of schools across seas and I have know idea why (obviously God) but the fist school that came to mind was YWAM, and when I asked myself where I wanted to go and instantly Hawaii came to mind. When I actually got around to looking it up online the fist base that came up was Honolulu (which is odd because Kona is the "mother base" of all bases) anyways I looked into a few others but God wanted me in Honolulu Hawaii =)

YWAM (Youth with a Mission) is a school that is fully focused on encouraging youth to hear the voice of God and discover their calling from him, missions or not. It is a missions school so most of what is taught around the mind frame of "The Great Commission".

Loren Cunningham (founder of YWAM) had a vision that is the base of what YWAM is; waves of young people reaching all shore lines across the world, sharing the world and love of God!

There has been many mixed reactions with YWAM because each base is different and it is truly the hardest life changing experience that some people go through spiritually and emotionally. Its definitely not a place where you go to sit around gaining knowledge thats just going to sit beside you as you go through life. Its a place that allows God to grab your world, turn it upside down and shake everything out that he doesn't want there!

The motto the unites YWAM and the people serving in it is "Know God and Make God Known" its pretty simple, but then again most things that God asks for are simple we just have an awesome way of over complicating them.

I cant say enough good things about them because my life has never been the same since, and I am SO grateful for this environment that offers a mind frame and life style with no limitations on God because our God as NO LIMITS!
