Loren Cunningham, founder of Youth With A Mission (YWAM), passed away on October 6, 2023. News of his passing was particularly difficult for MANY former members (YWAMers) because he escaped a long-overdue reckoning to account for the years of exploitation, manipulation, and spiritual and financial abuse he designed and presided over throughout the decades of Youth With A Mission’s history. Tracey and Sharon share their own experiences with this systemic model of abuse and manipulation due to the close ties between Keith Green and Loren Cunningham and between Last Days Ministries and Youth With a Mission back in the early 1980’s. Loren Cunningham exploited both youth and nations with a program that functioned much more like a multi-level marketing scheme (MLM) than a true ministry. We share the dark side of his ‘legacy’ that you won’t often hear because Loren Cunningham and other high-level YWAM leaders worked hard to remove and silence people and bury and hide important and heart-breaking stories of abuse and corruption.

The Book used by YWAM to emphasize the principle – “Do not come against God’s anointed.”

The Tale of Three Kings– by Gene Edwards

Sharon mentions visiting the home of the Anastasis Ship in 1982: Loren Cunningham had a long-time vision of a ship ministry, which was finally realized in 1979. The first ship, named “Anastasis” (the Greek word for Resurrection), became the first in a fleet to be known as Mercy Ships–a ministry which would provide hope and healthcare to the needy in port cities around the world.

(Note: Mercy Ships is no longer an affiliate of YWAM – it became a stand-alone ministry in 2003)
