While on a vacation/retreat in Colorado in 1975 Loren Cunningham received a powerful vision from God. It has guided YWAM to develop into the largest Christian Mission in the world. Here is a summary of what Loren heard God say.
YWAM must impact all seven Spheres of Influence in order to bring masses of people to Christ. The seven areas are.
1. The Family
2. The church Family
3. Education and Training
4. Economics, Science, Industry, Research, Innovation, Medicine
5. Media and Communication
6. Arts, Entertainment, Sports,
7. Governance, Politics, Leadership
In my view, this is a brilliant picture of how God will impact nations. YWAM has outreaches in every one of these areas. The ministries we have founded also focus on every one of these areas. However, our specialty is "Building a lifetime of great relationships with God, Self and Others".
In 1975, the same year, Bill Bright received a similar vision. I also switched from Christian Education to developing the Teleios Center at my church.
Now we equip Christians to become involved in all Seven Spheres and use their superior knowledge, skills and Christian wisdom to have an eternal impact. Get my book, Healing Release of the Holy Spirit to see how.
