ABOUT US
YWAM Taipei exists to ignite a flame for God’s mission in this generation.
Our goal is to see people equipped and released onto the mission field. All of our training programs are for the completion of this goal. We focus not only on knowing God, but also emphasize making God known. We desire to see people’s lives firmly grounded in the truth and able to take all they have learned and share with those who are in need, wholly devoted to the calling God has given them for the frontier mission field.
Regardless of whether we are already serving long term on the mission field or feel called to come and to receive short term training, we corporately share the identity of a sending base being a support to those we send out. We desire to see a revival of missionary movement within Taiwan and a missionary heart flourishing among the Taiwanese people, believing that God will greatly use the Taiwanese to transform this generation.
WE ARE A PART OF THE YWAM FAMILY
Youth With A Mission is a global movement, started by a group of believers of different cultures and ages and Christian traditions, with the purpose of serving Jesus all over the world.
YWAM was started in 1960 by Loren Cunningham in California, USA. The earliest vision was to push young Christians to practically serve and contribute to society by holding onto the examples of Christ’s selflessness, faith and love, while preaching the gospel to all nations.
Through evangelism, pioneering work, discipleship training, community service/mercy ministries, YWAM has been able to train and equip Christians and short term missions staff all over the world. Back when YWAM began in 1960, the main focus was to get youth involved in missions. Today, YWAM is still focused on youth, and also involves people aged 9 to 90. YWAM currently has tens of thousands of staff (called “YWAMers”) and works in thousands of teams and locations. YWAM has become the largest interdenominational missions organization in the world, doing both evangelistic ministries as well as community development/mercy ministries. Also, according to God’s first call, from our founder down to every staff member all over the world, all are volunteers without paid salary.
