Year End Review

I thought I would share some pretty interesting stats with you all. Im not a huge stat guy, but we kind of have to keep some stats for our Board of Directors here so that we can keep growing, improving, etc..  First, Ill just share a few from Gospel Focus, and then below a broader picture of all that happened here at YWAM Salem. Gospel Focus Ministries did at least 5246 hours of evangelism in 2019 collectively. We had around 17,000 gospel focused conversations within those 5246 hours. aw many come to Christ (I don't give numbers on that because time is the only true test of a conversion). 

At YWAM Salem, We had 95 students complete their DTS In 2019. 

We had 59 students completed a Secondary School (FCM, CBCC, SOAM, SOMD)

We had 21 students and 18 staff participate in the B2B this last summer (many of whom will be duplicating the seminar on other YWAM campuses).
