Urbana worship with 17,000!

Amazing worship and spoken Word of God together with 17,000 young people searching for their path into world missions. I look forward to offering how Ywam can help them.

Urbana 09 -17,000 students for world missions

17,000+ students have come to St. Louis for Urbana 09.
Most will pass by me at the Ywam booth!

Almost all are asking God how they can be a part of world missions.
-Please pray I can help them achive all God is dreaming for their life.

Sweater Party 2009 at YWAM Orlando. How we have fun!

Some where inside me there must be a longing for the day when the birth of Jesus can be be celebrated with the utmost reverence and holiness, but until that day comes I will continue to expose the absurdity of Christmas as currently celebrated in America. If you dare view a first rate example of this tradition, click here and be prepared for some of the ugliest sweaters in our nation!

Benefit for African Orphans

At 3$ a brick, and 1k bricks, we changed an African child´s life Monday night! We raised $3,000!

Thank you to all of you who came out monday night! It was a really awesome concert. Thanks to Sleeping At Last, Jeremy Larson and Taylor Maxwell for playing an awesome show.

Rob Interview GCT 2009 Audio Only

Here in Harpenden England at the Global Communication Team meetings, I had a chance to interview the director of YWAM's International Communications Network (ICN) Rob Abraham. He, like myself, is very excited how communications can allow exponential growth in world wide mission. Thank you for letting me contribute to this amazing week of cooperation.

Facebook Interview with the International Chairman of YWAM, Lynn Green - Video

This week has been one of the most visionary of my life. One of concepts we were struggling with was how to link the questions of the average person involved in YWAM with the answers of senior leaders. I made a suggestion that we should do live interviews with some of these leaders on Facebook. Instead of just accepting my idea the team jumped into action and suggested we try one out the very next day. This afternoon we tried this new concept in social media. This may be the first or sadly only time some of our extended YWAM family gets direct access to our Int. Chariman. What an amazing opportunity for communication with in this massive mission called YWAM.

Here is a transcript of the Q and A session 10:30 AM EST 10/9/09
Lynn Green, the International Chairman of Youth With A Mission, was a part of a live interview on the YWAM International Facebook page. He took the time to answer quite a few questions that had been sent in previously and were asked during the interview.

Here is a sample of some of the questions, and Lynn's answers:

1. Lynn, here is the first questions, who are you?
   
   
   
   • A kid from Colorado who joined YWAM in 1969, got a wife, then four kids, then 6+ grandkids and became Chairman of YWAM along the way.
   
   
   
   


2. What would you say to the challenge busy YWAMers in this area – rest vs driven-ness?
   
   
   
   • That is something God has been saying to me. But, to some extend it is related to seasons of life. I am now in my 60s and God is saying I must "fight to enter into rest". I have been an activist for all these years and now the passage of scripture that means so much to me is Ruth lying at the feet of Boaz and then going back to Naomi and asking "what do I do now?" She said Rest! This man will not rest until he has done all he needs to. That is what Jesus will do for me if I spend time with him.
     
     But even in the midst of a very busy life, I have developed the habit of a good long time each morning spent in the scriptures and prayer and then prayer with my wife then with my kids around the breakfast table.
   
   
   
   


3. Do you think YWAM is focussing enough in the area of assisting ministries associated with New Technology, media, Gospel presentation?
   
   
   
   • Well, we never think we are doing enough. But Create International are fantastic in this area. I am sitting right now in a global communication team meeting and we have spent three days looking at our web presence, IT tools, where communication is likely to go in the future etc.....
   
   
   
   


4. When will YWAM return to its original call to evangelize?
   
   
   
   • You must be talking about YWAM somewhere in particular - there is an incredible amount of evangelism happening around the world! We have planted over 600 churches in 100 of the least-reached people groups. Reef to Outback in Australia is doing innovative outreach online and Impact World Tours have led tens of thousands to the Lord in the last few years!
   
   
   
   


5. What advice would you give to current DTS student to encourage them? Do you even remember your DTS, Lynn?
   
   
   
   • No I didn't do a DTS, so I can't remember it. But I have led a few. I didn't do a DTS because they didn't exist until around 1975. When I joined there was only a School of Evangelism.
     
     The most encouraging thing I can say is keep obeying Jesus. There is no greater adventure!
   
   
   
   


6. Lynn, perhaps a big struggle for me is understanding wisdom in Loren's philosophy of easy on, easy off. Balance of helping people step up to commitment vs just letting them go. Your thoughts?
   
   
   
   • Well, commitment has to be freely given. We really cannot put pressure on people to commit. It has to come from deep inner convictions. In addition, we want to bless the whole Body of Christ, so we are training people for other movements, denominations etc.
     
     Recently God has convicted me that I must also be happy when people seem to use the YWAM platform to develop their personal ministry. That is the attitude Paul conveyed when he said he rejoiced when people preached the gospel, no matter what the motive.
   
   
   
   


7. Where is the University of the Nations is at with accreditation...?
   
   
   
   • We are seeking to be a force for transformation in higher education. The current accreditation system is part of what keeps it static. so we are pursuing accreditation by two means: from one institution to another. Many colleges and Universities accept U of N credits. And we are developing a new global accrediting association.
   
   
   
   


8. How should YWAM prepare itself spiritually and practically for the growth towards 200.000 staff?
   
   
   
   • We must deepen our relationship with Jesus first!
     
     Then we have to transition from a more rigid organizational structure to a more thoroughly relational leadership network on a global basis. that is a big subject, so keep your eyes open for prayer days on the subject. I will do some leadership letters on that too.
   
   
   
   


9. People are asking questions about the restructuring of YWAM after the last GLT. What can you say about that...?
   
   
   
   • We are thinking less organizationally and more relationally. We are not in a rush, but know that God is giving us more insight about eldership and how it works within our body. The upcoming International YWAMer (www.internationalywamer.org) will have articles on that.
   
   
   
   


10. What's your favourite running shoes?
    
    
    
    • I highly recommend that you have your running style analyzed by some outfit that knows what they are doing. I was giving up on running due to knee pain, then had different shoes prescribed after a video of my gate and I have been fine ever since. Asics Nimbus for me!
    
    
    
    


11. What would you say to many many 'behind the scene' Ywam mothers who are depressed while the husbands are driven with works and meetings and are highly motivated to get the job done?
    
    
    
    • When my wife was feeling like that, she wrote me a letter that she left in my suitcase. Basically she said she was lonely. That tore my heart out. I went back home, went through my calendar with her and cut my schedule back. I now make all scheduling decisions in prayer with her. Have all husbands read this!!!
    
    
    
    


12. What are you most looking forward to in this last quarter of YWAM's first 50 years?
    
    
    
    • Deeper relationship with Jesus and much more evidence of the supernatural in YWAM. Deeper friendships too!

The emerald shores of Ireland

Goodmorning London Sun

After raceing the sun arround the oposite way of the earth we have
collided once again. This time only after a few hrs of sleep and
somewhere over the cold North Atlantic by Iceland.

Today I fly Orlando to London. Tomorrow ="Having Tea" in Harpenden England at a communicatios conf. -Video:

How can we as Christians effectively communicate Good News to all people? As missionaries how can we involve a generation that has evolved so rapidly we hardly recognize them?



For example today we see:
-450,000 words, in the English language = 5x the amount in Shakespeare's day.
-The total population of the USA is less than the amount of people using Facebook
-31 billion Google searches per month
-China will soon become the the number one english speaking county in the world.

I look forward to working with representatives from Australia, Asia, South America, and Europe to discover ways to use the speed of communications and technology to Gods glory. I have been invited by YWAM's international chairman to make a presentation to this group about how to inspire this radical generation into God's plans for their lives. I believe many millions will realize that they too can spend their life sharing the love of Christ in the next few years because of the discoveries and decisions God will lead us to this week. As always I could never do this alone and your prayers and support allows us to do this a team, Thank You! (To find out how you can help click here)

My new housemates at YWAM!

A young couple has moved in at my YWAM doorm. They have brought their two boys Seppe and Florian from Holland to do the DTS at YWAM Orlando. Pillow fights and soccer appear to be the best way to cross the language divide.

Introducing Matt and Kaitlin Sieber

I spent the past week helping prepare for my little sisters wedding. Now she is Kaitlin Sieber! They are an awsome couple that God already has amazing plans for.

How Can Stories Inspire and Unlock God's "Hidden" Treasures?

This fall I am coaching 25 new missionaries how to raise their financial support. I try to help them realize the amazing works God has done through them and how important it is inspire others with the testimony of these stories. I have seen these stories used by God to involve His entire Church in reaching those who don't know Him. Below is one of my favorite examples of such a story by one of the new missionaries I coach named Chad. Through a letter including this story and many face to face meetings, Chad has seen an overwhelming response and a team of people choose to fully support his first financial goal.

It was late one evening and the street artist had just finished his painting presentation of the Gospel. I quickly struck up a conversation with an older man who I had spotted watching intently as the picture was painted. At first, he seemed hesitant to speak to me, a total stranger. But as I allowed him to share his faith with me and his Lebanese origin, he started to warm up to the conversation.

The man made it clear that he was a Muslim. As a Muslim, he believed that Jesus did exist, but not that he died and rose again. I continued to listen and ask probing questions meant to make him think about what he believed.

During the conversation, God prompted me to ask the gentleman if he believed dreams were from God. He responded, “Sure, about ninety percent come from God.” I immediately followed that question by asking him if I could pray with him and ask Jesus to appear and reveal the truth to him in a dream.

I did this, knowing that many Muslims around the world come to salvation after a dream. This dream consists of Jesus appearing and revealing that He is indeed the Son of God who died and rose again for their sins. This would be an awesome opportunity!

The Lebanese man agreed to pray with me. So right there, in the middle of the busy Montreal sidewalk, I prayed with him and asked Jesus to appear to him in a dream!

Has God Hidden His Treasures?

Each year I am amazed by the batch of new youth who join YWAM Orlando staff and are willing to give up an American Dream of financial prosperity. They willingly replace this dream with a life of financial dependence on God's provision through the generosity of His people. My passion and job is to teach and coach them how to find this provision through my personal experiences. But, I must share the correct motivations, not only methods, as valuable as they may be. If you have ever wished to sit in on a class on this topic here is your chance. Below I have condensed some of the main ideas I present for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!

God wants to use me to connect a portion His CHURCH to World Missions. My job is to find the team that is to be connected through me. Not everyone in His CHURCH is to be part of my team and I won't assume I know who they are. Many who know of me are most likely to be part of my team as God prefers to work through relationships.

By telling stories of what God has done, and is dreaming to do through me, I give Him the Glory due Him, and build credibility as a minister of the Gospel. Simply stating my need only gives information, and is not an actionable request. Unless I humble my self and request my need specifically many will not be willing to take the risk of offending me by giving "charity". By directly asking I overcome my pride of self sufficiency and allow God to provide through His people. By making a personal phone calls I reject the fear of man. Instead I personally connect with those who God has asked to join my team in completing the great commission. By accepting that more than half will not give financially I learn to trust God has already provided the ones He wants to be giving on my team. Those who reject my appeal are not rejecting me but simply the opportunity. I realize and trust they made this decision for reasons in complete obedience to the will of God in their life. God has hidden His treasure in His people and in doing so has motivated me to include many others in the vision He has given me for His Church.

Training new missionaries to receive God's provision

This week I have been teaching in the Full Support Workshop for a bunch new missionaries. They each have amazing callings and I look forward to seeing Gods dreams come true as they see provision to put dreams into action. If you want to join us for the next workshop click here.

Listen to an interview of one of the students below:

The altar was flooded!

Last Wednesday I was with the "Frontline" youth group of Trinity Chapel in Knoxville TN. Our team was invited to share our drama and dances as an example of how performing arts can be used to share the gospel around the world. I concluded the night with a challenge to for students to "dive into" into world missions. With the team behind me I invited the room full of 50+ teenagers to come forward and receive prayer if they wanted publicly make a decision to impact the needs people of around the globe with their faith. The alter was literally flooded! Even with a a team of 10 people willing to receive them, the crowd was waiting 2 and 3 deep for prayer. Thanks for your support as I have spent this summer challenging the next generation of missionaries.

Recently I have spent lots of time on the road. Although I have not yet tried to cooking in my hotel room like the video I cant wait to try it, I'm sure the hotel wont mind..oops!

Passionate about missions in Buffalo New York

We are meeting waves of potential missionaries near Buffalo New York. Jackie, the girl in the photo, told me how she was passionate about missions and simply looking for a chance to make a difference in this world. Some of her friends had done YWAM and now meeting me at the Kingdom Bound festival felt like confirmation that she should join us for a mission trip this fall. I love when God uses me to confirm His calling on the lives of others! We will be driving through the night tonight (Wed-Thurs morning) so we can get to Unity festival in Muskegon, MI tomorrow. If you are in the area come see us perform on the A-Stage. For tickets and more info see www.unitymusicfestival.com Thanks for your prayers!

New Hampshire missionary mobilization

I have been meeting the next generation of missionaries from New England. Many of them told me they have been looking for a way to have a global impact with their faith. Hundreds attended a demonstration of our performing arts team at SoulFest christian music festival. Thanks for your prayers for multiplication and safe travels as we travel to our next stop, Kingdom Bound Festival near Buffalo NY.

Local wildlife....Like the photo?

So when I moved to Orlando I guess I traded snow for snakes. Fair trade?

Four Festivals done and Three to go! With Photos:

For the past month I have met thousand of people face to face and gladly answered their questions like:
"Does YWAM do Mission trips to Africa? 'Cause God has called me to go there when I graduate high school."
"My child is really into missions, could she do a summer mission trip with YWAM?"
"Our youth group has been looking for something just like what you do at YWAM. What should we do to sign up?"

We handed out 4000+ pieces of YWAM Info.
We drove over 4,000 miles
We camped in 4 different states
(Only letting our tent blow away once!)
We only broke the van once!
(Had to replace the fuel pump)
All in 28 days!


Now I'm back in Orlando for a half-time breather (20 Days) before the second half starts. Three more festivals and thousands of young people who will realize they can be part of the solution to the spiritual and physical problems of their generation. Instead of traveling with only one other staff member, I am excited to have a larger team on this second half. I will be joined by a performing arts team of 12 students and staff to attract attention to world missions and prove the many creative ways Christ's love can be shared globally.

Come see our team at:
July 29- Aug 1 Soulfest Gilford, NH
Aug 2-5 Kingdom Bound Buffalo, NY
Aug 6-8 Unity Festival Muskegon, MI

What is Discipleship Training School? A student's review:

Each year my goal is to see hundreds of new missionaries jump into their first taste of missions. The Discipleship Training School is our 101 course and intro into a life of making a difference. I feel such gratification seeing, through their eyes, all that God has done! Here is what one student wrote about her recent experience.

A small Indian boy with a contagious smile climbed into my lap and began fiddling with my hands and touching my face. I could literally feel my heart melting as he stared into my eyes, smiling the whole time.

At about the age of 2, this boy, yet unnamed, was found strapped to a tree. His parents, victims of leprosy and rejected by society, wandered the streets begging for food or money. Rescued by Youth With a Mission (YWAM), this nameless boy was taken to a YWAM home where children of leprosy victims are housed. There, he was given clothes, food, love, the message of Christ, and a name—Joe. Now at the age of 4, Joe has special needs due to his lack of development at such a young age.
Over the last two months in India, I had the privilege of working with victims of leprosy and their families. Leprosy is totally curable, but it leaves victims with gaping wounds, deformities like missing fingers and toes, and a spirit of rejection in their hearts. There, I helped to package and distribute medical supplies to entire colonies of leprosy victims and pray with each of them.
I was also able to reach out to the children by teaching English and helping with their school work. By playing with them and simply touching them, God used me to show Joe and others like him that they are valuable to Him, that He loves them with his whole heart, and that He accepts them despite the lies of worthlessness, rejection, and hopelessness that have been spoken over them. These people have all left their permanent mark on my heart and in my life.
Being in Discipleship Training School (DTS) is more than just learning statistics about the suffering people of the world. It’s about gaining a heart for those people, children of God, who have faces and dreams and passions. If you are ready to get in the game and take action knowing that you have the power to change lives, the DTS is the place for you.

My Home church Teens go hungry for a good cause Video:

Some of my favorite students from my home town, Road to Life Church, made headlines on the local news channel. I lead many of these students on a mission trip with YWAM Orlando to the Dominican Haitian boarder over spring break. There we experienced first hand what $1 a day poverty looked like. I pray that this generation of Jesus followers continues to be known for Love, Compassion, and Generosity rather than judgment, passivity or materialism. Check out the below Video:

The world's English mania- Video:

Teaching English is a skill that I have been asked to improvise over and over again on outreach, Including 6 weeks in Thailand. What would this world look like if all Christian education included foreign language study (Mandarin or Arabic would be a good start) and TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages)? Christians would be in the highest demand in every country and like the biblical Daniel, in areas of high influence!

In this video, Jay Walker explains why two billion people around the world are trying to learn English. He shares photos and spine-tingling audio of Chinese students rehearsing English -- "the world's second language" -- by the thousands.

Spent the weekend with kids who have read 30+ Missionary biographies! WOW! Video:

These kids come up to the YWAM book table and tell me that they have read over 30 of our missionary biographies. Now that is the kind of inspired youth that will change the nations. I cant wait to help each of them fulfill their calling in world missions!
Each year I spend a few weeks in the spring meeting the next generation of missionaries at home school conferences and encouraging them to realize their potential through the biographies of past missionary greats. I have introduced global missions to thousands of youth at these conferences and in the last year alone three have chose to join us for a Discipleship Training School at YWAM Orlando. Check out the Video I shot last year:

Seth Godin Inspires me by Individuals Integrated Ideas! Video: Why tribes, not money or factories, will change the world - Seth Godin- Ted Talks

Planning a very busy spring/summer schedule. Will you be there?

I love meeting the next generation of missionaries even before they feel a calling to get into missions. Sometimes God uses ME to plant that seed of desire in their heart. Other times I meet young people who have spent years praying for the day they can join the great saints of history in taking the gospel to the far corners of the earth. Either way I look forward to finding them this summer across the eastern half of our nation. Below is a list of where I will be looking for them.
Here is an idea... why not adjust your summer to meet me on one of theses stops and spend a few hours helping me? I would love it!

Dominican Republic Trip Video!

Each of the 20 students and adults on this team to the Dominican Republic brought a valued aspect to our efforts to share the Love of Christ. Enjoy some of their on site interviews and photos in this Video.

Can you join us for DR stories Wed night?

I am so excited to spend this additional week in Michigan with the team I led to The Dominican Republic! I have been asked to lead tomorrow's Wednesday night service at Road to Life Church and fill it with stories, photos and videos giving God His due Glory for all that this team has experienced. Can you join us at Road to Life Church, St. Joseph, MI, Wed., April 15th at 7:00pm? Call my cell if this will be your first time to this location (407-492-0098). Much of my remaining time has been spent in private appointments with the students and their parents/families. Unpacking the experiences of a mission trip has always been a passion of mine, and helping students individually integrate their 7 days of missions into everyday life has been very rewarding. Most of the students speak of meeting eye opening poverty face-to-face and thanking God for all the things they have taken for granted. Many have spoken of a desire to continue disciplines they started like daily devotions, times of prayer, scripture reading, or sharing their personal faith with others boldly. These students have a lifetime of opportunity ahead of them, and I pray every future choice will be deeply effected by how Christ used their life in The Dominican Republic last week.

More Photos from Dominican here!

Praise God for work done in Dominican Republic with Road to Life Church! See phots:

We are doing some hard labor and playing with some of the sweetest and most friendly children in the world. Thank you for letting this group come and share the message of Christ to the hearts of the Dominican people. Over and over again we are reminded by our dramas that we celebrate the crucifixion of Jesus and his Resurrection this week. Hundreds have applauded our work and message of hope and love. Hope to get more photos again. -Creagon

Road To Life Church Team- Safe in Santo Domingo

We still have a long drive but as of now we are safe in Santo Domingo.

On my Way to Michigan and then Dominican!

60 days ago I flew to the Dominican Republic as a preparation trip for this spring break. Today I fly to Michigan to meet with the students and their parents. For some of these young missionaries, Saturday will be their first international flight.
Through your prayers and support of my trip, we together can have an eternal impact on this next generation of missionaries and these needy lives of the Dominican Republic! Look for more updates right here at www.creagon.com (If you want to get the update headlines TXT to your phone follow me here www.Twitter.com/Creagon)

Wishing this would happen on my next flight!

You may have noticed that I get to fly A LOT and yet this would still be something of a surprise for me. What a way to make the boring and repetitious, very entertaining!

My Sister, Kaitlin, said "Yes" to Matt! Good job you two!

Thats my sister with the engagement ring on. Matt is an amazing guy and I am so excited for the two of them! Matt, welcome to the Muldoon family....Can you handle it?!!!!

"I definitely want to go to this base."

Just got a note from a graduating DTS student. These moments make even the most tedious parts of my job inspirational to me!

Dear Creagon,

I meant to tell you this in person, but with the hectic schedules that we faced during our last two weeks in school, plus with my never-ending habit of procrastinating, I failed to do so.

But during outreach, Stephanie asked me of how I came to be at YWAM Orlando. And I told her that it was mainly because of the phone call that I had when I first called the Orlando base. You picked up and talked with me for a good hour on just explaining what the program was all about and sharing your own experiences. And I hadn't even wanted to go to Orlando. I want to go to Oregon or Alaska, or somewhere that I had never been before. But after I spoke with you, I thought, "Wow. If everyone is like the guy that I just spoke with, then I definitely want to go to this base."

So, Creagon, your personality is outstanding and you have an incredible way of catching people's attention, which just makes absolute sense as to why you're so passionate in reaching out and gaining more students. You were so patient with me, so open, and so genuine. I just wanted to say thank you for just being who you've been called to be. You're outstanding, and many people have taken notice. I pray that you're doing so very well and I cannot wait to see you in the near future (I'm thinking about EQ, so watch out!)

Your friend,
Jordan Katcher

While in DR this week I took photos of some of the things we will do and people we will see on our spring break trip.

D.R. Video Update 4 -Interview in Santo Domingo

D.R. Video Update 3 -Interview with Pastor Pedro

I have spent the past 3 days in the Dominican Republic researching how teams can best share Love, Mercy and the Gospel of Jesus to this needy nation. One of the people I met here is Pastor Pedro. His passion for poorest Dominicans and Haitian refugees deeply inspires me and I look forward to working with him in the near future with Road to Life Church's Spring break team.

First day in Dominican Republic -Video Update 1

Safe arrival in Dominican

Just arrived in the Dominican Republic.
I am excited to meet our hosts for the evening at the local Ywam base.
Thanks for your prayers.

Dominican Republic Quick Trip

Tomorrow I will fly to The Dominican Republic. For the next 5 days I look forward to finding the best outreach locations and opportunities for YWAM Orlando's Spring and Summer teams. We (two other YWAM Orlando staff and I) have meetings in the capital city of Santo Domingo and to the west near the Haitian boarder.

Please pray that I will:
-Meet the right people in The D.R.
-Find the right logistics (housing food and transport) for our upcoming teams
-Understand the needs of the people and how our teams can best share the Love of Jesus by meeting those needs.

Check back early next week for some photos and possibly a video from the trip!

Back in Orlando- first week back at a desk!

One week ago i took the early flight from PVR Mexico. (Took a photo of my view so you could enjoy it too!) Now back in
Orlando, I have hit the ground running, using my first week to plan
out the 10+ conferences I will be representing YWAM at. I am so
excited to meet thousands of potential missionaries!
Happy New Year!

Surfing at Sayulita Mexico

See the guy catching that sweet wave in the video, well that's me!..... (holding the camera filming him surfing like I wish I could).
Spent the day at a little surfing village north of PV. Tried to catch a few waves but I have come to the conclusion that computers fit me better! There is always nextime.

Am so thankful for Picasa for Mac...Finaly!

Picasa has always been my favorite photo editor and was one of the saddest things I left when I switched from PC. Now I dont have to be sad any more! If you have a mac give it a try and thank me later.
