Leading our Eastern North American Leaders Gathering with a team of Conveners and Friends

Standing on Refreshing Mountain in PA

We had about 60 leaders from Bases and Ministries located in Eastern North America (Canada & USA) gather together in Pennsylvania for 2 1/2 days of meetings that included worship, prayer, one another ministries, and some teaching. All in all it was a very rich time and wonderful to be with our friends from this area!

Michael & Darla Participate in the President's Gathering in Kona, Hawaii

I had an opportunity to speak to the leaders at the President's Gathering on the life of Billy Graham. I was grateful for the opportunity, but I must say our favorite element of the President's Gathering is connection with so many godly vision filled leaders that have become wonderful friends!

After the President's Gathering we had a day off and then I (Michael) participated in the Core International Leadership Team (CILT) of the University of the Nations. I was invited along with a handful of other base leaders, due to the fact that we each lead a large YWAM base with several courses connected to our university. We were invited to be a part of the process as the CILT looks at configuring the University to better serve the mission and the 750 training bases across the globe. This was a privilege and a very fruitful time.

In loving memory of our dear friend, Craig Samples...

Today Darla and I had the privilege of celebrating the life of a dear friend, Craig Samples, at his Memorial & Funeral Service. So many gave testimony of a man who lived his life following the Lord with his whole heart. Craig fought ALS for approximately 30 years but honored the Lord even in suffering. Whenever we were tempted to complain about our trials, minor in comparison to Craig’s, we would be inspired to gratitude toward the Lord. Craig will continue to be an inspiration to us.
