YWAM Converge

The UofN is unique in its international missionary training scope with school locations in 101 nations on all continents. The UofN was born out of Youth With A Mission (see also www.ywam.org), an international volunteer movement of Christians from many backgrounds, cultures and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world. YWAM has a decentralized structure that encourages new vision and the exploration of new ways to change lives through training, conveying the message of the gospel, and caring for those in need. YWAM is currently operating in more than 1000 locations in over 180 countries, with a staff of over 18,000. Since 1986, SMC's Field Ministry Internships has mobilized students from over 100 different colleges/universities onto 75 internship teams in over 35 countries. We are championing university students to serve Christ's Great Commission through their life-work. Students are challenged to lead the next major wave of collaborative missions and holistic witness in and from university communities worldwide.
