- International YWAMer

Romance. Mystery. Drama. Comedy. Unusual characters, funny dialogue and twisting plots -YWAM stories have it all.

Thanks to everyone who submitted a story about their YWAM experience to the 50^th anniversary story contest! We had a great time reading about happy reunions, transformed lives, discouraging events that turned out to have surprising rewards and slightly embarrassing moments. There are so many experiences we share as a YWAM tribe, and we found three good ones for our winners in the three age categories. Congratulations to Lara, Breanna and Christine and thank you again to everyone else who entered!

It was gratifying to see the feedback section buzzing at the IY’s new website – www.internationalywamer.org – after our launch last issue. Please visit the site to comment on any of our articles, subscribe to receive the IY in one of several languages or read past issues.

Our October issue is also in its planning stages, and in a twist on our 50^th anniversary focus, we are going to be looking at places YWAM is NOT! Our celebrations are as much about looking forward as they are about looking back, so we want to hear the ambitions God has given you for new initiatives to be pioneered in YWAM – things that have never been done, people who have never been reached, needs that have never been met. Contact us to tell us what you are praying to see happen next, and maybe we can help you find others who share your hope.

But for now, enjoy reading the adventures of our story contest winners (or listening to them on our podcast) from three age categories – of course, they all have a happy ending!
