Youth With A Mission (YWAM) affirms the Bible as the authoritative word of God and, with the Holy Spirit\u2019s inspiration, the absolute reference point for every aspect of life and ministry. Based upon God\u2019s word, who He is, and His initiative of salvation, the following responses are strongly emphasized in YWAM:<\/p>\n
The Foundational Values of Youth With A Mission are the expression of our basic beliefs coupled with specific directives given by God since YWAM\u2019s beginning in 1960. They are recorded here in order to pass on to successive generations that which God has emphasized to us. These shared beliefs and values are the guiding principles for both the past and future growth of our mission. Some are common to all Christians everywhere; others are distinctive to Youth With A Mission. The combination of these beliefs and values make up the unique family characteristics of YWAM- our \u201cDNA.\u201d They are values we hold in high regard which determine who we are, how we live and how we make decisions.<\/p>\n

\nYWAM is committed to know God, His nature, His character and His ways. We seek to reflect who He is in every aspect of our lives and ministry. The automatic overflow of knowing and enjoying fellowship with God is a desire to share Him with others.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is called to make God known throughout the whole world, and into every arena of society through evangelism, training and mercy ministries. We believe that salvation of souls should result in transformation of societies, thus obeying Jesus\u2019 command to make disciples of all nations.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is committed to creating with God through listening to Him, praying His prayers and obeying His commands in matters great and small. We are dependent upon hearing His voice as individuals, together in team contexts and in larger corporate gatherings. This is an integral part of our process for decision making.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is dedicated to worship Jesus and engage in intercessory prayer as integral aspects of daily life. We also recognize the intent of Satan to destroy the work of God and we call upon God\u2019s power and the Holy Spirit to overcome his strategies in the lives of individuals and in the affairs of nations.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is called to be visionary, continually receiving, nurturing and releasing fresh vision from God. We support the pioneering of new ministries and methods, always willing to be radical in order to be relevant to every generation, people group, and sphere of society. We believe that the apostolic call of YWAM requires the integration of spiritual eldership, freedom in the Spirit and relationship, centered on the Word of God.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is called to champion youth. We believe God has gifted and called young people to spearhead vision and ministry. We are committed to value them, trust them, train them, support them, make space for them and release them. They are not only the Church of the future; they are the Church of today. We commit to follow where they lead, in the will of God.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is broad-structured and diverse, yet integrated. We are a global family of ministries held together by shared purpose, vision, values and relationship. We believe that structures should serve the people and the purposes of God. Every ministry at every level has the privilege and responsibility of accountability to a circle of elders, with overall international accountability to the YWAM Global Leadership Team.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is international and interdenominational in its global scope as well as its local constituency. We believe that ethnic, linguistic and denominational diversity, along with redeemed aspects of culture, are positive factors that contribute to the health and growth of the mission.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is called to a Biblical worldview. We believe that the Bible makes a clear division between good and evil; right and wrong. The practical dimensions of life are no less spiritual than the ministry expressions. Everything done in obedience to God is spiritual. We seek to honor God with all that we do, equipping and mobilizing men and women of God to take roles of service and influence in every arena of society.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is called to function in teams in all aspects of ministry and leadership. We believe that a combination of complementary gifts, callings, perspectives, ministries and generations working together in unity at all levels of our mission provides wisdom and safety . Seeking God\u2019s will and making decisions in a team context allows accountability and contributes to greater relationship, motivation, responsibility and ownership of the vision.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is called to servant leadership as a lifestyle, rather than a leadership hierarchy. A servant leader is one who honors the gifts and callings of those under his\/her care and guards their rights and privileges. Just as Jesus served His disciples, we stress the importance of those with leadership responsibilities serving those whom they lead.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is committed to doing first, then teaching. We believe that firsthand experience gives authority to our words. Godly character and a call from God are more important than an individual\u2019s gifts, abilities and expertise.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is dedicated to being relationship-oriented in our living and working together. We desire to be united through lives of holiness, mutual support, transparency, humility, and open communication, rather than a dependence on structures or rules.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM is called to value each individual. We believe in equal opportunity and justice for all. Created in the image of God, people of all nationalities, ages and functions have distinctive contributions and callings. We are committed to honoring God-given leadership and ministry gifts in both men and women.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM affirms the importance of families serving God together in missions, not just the father and\/or mother. We encourage the development of strong and healthy family units, with each member sharing the call to missions and contributing their gifts in unique and complementary ways.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM \u2029is \u2029called\u2029 to \u2029practice \u2029a \u2029life \u2029of \u2029dependence \u2029upon \u2029God \u2029for \u2029financial\u2029 provision.\u2029\u2029For \u2029individuals \u2029and\u2029 YWAM\u2029 corporately \u2029this\u2029 comes \u2029primarily\u2029 through \u2029His \u2029people. \u2029\u2029As \u2029God\u2029 and \u2029others \u2029have \u2029been \u2029generous \u2029towards \u2029us,\u2029 so \u2029we \u2029desire \u2029to \u2029be \u2029generous. \u2029\u2029YWAMers \u2029give \u2029themselves, \u2029their \u2029time \u2029and talents \u2029to\u2029 God \u2029through \u2029the \u2029mission \u2029with \u2029no \u2029expectations \u2029of\u2029 remuneration.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM affirms the ministry of hospitality as an expression of God\u2019s character and the value of people. We believe it is important to open our hearts, homes and campuses to serve and honor one another, our guests and the poor and needy, not as acts of social protocol, but as expressions of generosity.<\/p>\n
\nYWAM affirms that everything exists because God communicates. Therefore, YWAM is committed to truthful, accurate, timely and relevant communication. We believe good communication is essential for strong relationships, healthy families, communities and effective ministry.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/ywamlimaperu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Valores-de-Jucum-300x180.jpg\")
