In August, we at YWAM Salem celebrated our 40th birthday! It was 3 days of awesomeness. We had around 300 people from all over the globe who have had history with YWAM Salem come join us for the celebration. No words could describe how special a time it was sitting with so many people, from so many different areas of the world, and hearing testimony after testimony of how YWAM Salem was such a key part of their walk with Jesus. One day I was eating lunch with a man who back in the 70's smuggled Bibles in the USSR during his DTS. I had coffee with a gentlemen who does indegenous church planting in the nation of Mongolia. We heard from one of the pillars on our mission Jon Dawson about the amazing things God is doing in the Pacific Islands. Story after story of the faithfulness of God at YWAM Salem. Our entire staff of 80 worked their tails of in preperation and to bring the celebration together. I had the privilege of being the MC, which I enjoyed.

| I think this is me wondering when I would get to sleep after a solid two weeks of preparation for the event |

| The amazing YWAM Salem staff that we get to work with day in and day out. As you can see, we kind of looked like the Smurfs to help distinguish current staff at the 40th celebration. |
