The Summer here at YWAM Salem has been interesting. As you can see, YWAM Salem has moved outside for all our gatherings. We have a DTS running, and basically the other summer ministries like our Ropes Course, Mission Adventures are virtually shut down. To put it into perspective we typically run around 5,000 people through our Ropes course a summer...that is now below 500. Our Mission Adventures Program runs around 250 high schoolers a summer...that is now 0. But, despite all of this going on , we have seen the faithfulness of God in so many ways. One way in particular is in the area of finances. We saw an $85,000 deficit in our yearly budget because of COVID. The Lord, in His faithfulness thorough a massive fundraiser all our staff were engaged in, we able to raise that sum to help us see it thorough the year. We did have 3 students who tested positive for COVID, which was sure a trial, but we are past that now and in the clear. Prayers appreciated as we navigate what the fall may look like here at YWAM Salem.
Welcoming new students, staff, and volunteers for the summer
