Ywam Asia Pacific Morning

Loren & Darlene Cunningham




Darlene's uncle clare had been a missionary in China, so she has childhood memories of praying for China, so she's excited to see the beginnings of the fulfillment of those prayers.
Loren says world leadership is shifting to Asia, and so is mission leadership.
In the bible leaders called people to them specifically, like Elijah with Elisha and Jesus with disciples. Thats cause they imparted their spirit, not just knowledge.
Like England was the catalyst for american multiplication of missionaries, so in this century Koreans are the catalyst for Chinese missions.
In 1961 he challenged the Africans to be missionaries, but another missionary came to him and said that he couldn't do that- africans were natives, they (white people) were missos. Loren said the Africans had the same bible he did.
Loren had two calls- all nations and mobilising youth.
Ywam has always been pictured as a wave, but a prophetess from Columbia drew two waves, one coming out of the original ywam wave that was higher. It has to do with Ywammers who are specifically called to the 7 spheres- family, church, education, media, entertainment, executive, judicary & legislative govt., economy
17 major missions are on the leadership of Call2All, but they asked Mark Anderson who runs a major Ywam ministry to lead them. He turned them down 3 times, on the 4th time he was going to refuse again but prayed and had a 3-4hour visitation from God who basically said Ywam had better be imvolved.
85% of the world missionaries come under these 17 mission networks. They asked Ywam to offer training, but we are not ready to train business, hollywood etc. We are behind except for the Koreans who have developed Ywam training for businessmen. Basically Loren realised from Call2All that Ywam has to run to catch up.
Darlene again, romans 12 - we need radical faith & obedience. We are having our minds transformed, and we are rethinking what we see as a missionary as YWAM moves into the secular spheres of influence. But we will know what God's will is if we obey & are transformed.
Respect the gifts of God in each other, live in unity. We often end up in front of Kings & Prime Ministers and we have grown a lot and gotten more organised, but we need to keep sober judgement.
Btw, the latest american idol is a YWAMmer.
