Communicating With Future Leaders

Every month thousands of people come to ywam.com looking to find their way into world missions. It is my privilege to help these people find the answers to their questions.
Every so often I get a letter from someone thanking me for the role I have played in their life. Many of these people are from various places around the world serving full-time in missions.
While I was in England (click to see video slide show) attending meetings about this very type of communication, one of the leaders I met showed me such a letter:

"I was 18 years old, ready to go full-time with another mission organization and then found out God had other plans for me... I was crushed and lost. A friend told me to check out YWAM... so I found ywam.com, wrote them and asked them [for a YWAM location] in the Czech Republic. Right away, they got back to me, told me they [had] just heard about the first DTS in Czech and gave me their contacts- I wrote them, applied, and was accepted as the first student ever in Czech.
This was all from ywam.com. They responded and helped where they could... it was absolutely life-changing for me... I would not be where I am today, doing what I am doing, if it was not for those guys and how they took the time to help me in my time of wondering!!!"

Today, she is an international leader focusing on communicating the Gospel in some of the least reached parts of the world. Thank you for helping me mobilize the next generation of leaders!
