One of the greatest challenges we face in Mission Adventures in North America, and Internationally for that matter, is fully committed program leaders. The turnover rate for our programs in terms of leaders is crazy, and it is hard to see our MA programs firmly planted in their locations because of this. The turnover happens for many reasons, from young leaders trying new things every two years, to bases simply not having the manpower to run successful MA programs. One thing we want to bring to the for front in our mission is the need for YWAM to get back to it's main routes.....youth and evangelism. Well, we are excited to try something out to help address our need for committed leaders who desire to do Mission Adventures full time, and it will be coming in March, in the form of our first ever School of Mission Adventures. This will be running out of Vancouver, Canada. The school will be three months long, and have many purposes, but the end result we hope to see are well trained future Mission Adventures leaders. I have helped in the structural formation of the school, curriculum, etc...and will be going to Vancouver a time or two to either teach or serve alongside the staff there. Please be praying for this school! It will actually be an accredited secondary school of YWAM's University of the Nations, so this is exciting!!
