Youth with a Mission (YWAM) began in 1960 and one of its three overall thrusts is YWAM-Mercy – an integral approach in mission. Our model and example is Jesus Christ and His compassionate response to the needs of all people.
YWAM-Mercy is operational in more than 100 countries as it seeks to impact more than 100 million living in absolute poverty in the next 20 years. From agricultural assistance to health care to micro enterprise development, YWAM-Mercy focuses on individuals and communities, children at risk, refugees and those living on the edge of survival in both crisis and long-term development situations.
Values that are central to the operations of YWAM-Mercy
- Love God in both word and deed
- Affirm human dignity, value, equality and worth for all peoples
- Encourage people to be free to live and to act according to their conscience
- Promote hope in the present and to empower plans for the future
- Encourage personal and community participation and sharing in decision making
- Promote transformation in all aspects of society
- Continue to learn and to live in humility
