August 18-20, 2010

"How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel…" While this music was playing, Loren and Darlene entered into the tent...wearing clothing made from raw cotton, and hats made from leather and straw, which characterize a man and woman from the countryside of Recife, Brazil. They were greeted by two children, who escorted them in - an act of integrating the generations, where teenagers and adults of all ages, work together with the same vision and excitement that diversifies and enriches our organization.  Past and future walking hand-in-hand.

King's Kids opened the event by presenting a choreography to the song, "Let the Flame Burn Brighter." They ignited celebration with their joy and spontaneity. They stormed the stage, filling our hearts with hope for this new generation.

YWAM’s 50th Anniversary Celebration:  Eastern Africa  27 – 29 May 2010

Painted faces and oiled skin glowed in the late afternoon sunlight as feet stomped and drums beat to welcome Loren and Darlene Cunningham to Jinja, Uganda, for the Eastern Africa 50th celebrations.  Africans consider it a great privilege to welcome honoured guests, and our brothers and sisters from all over Eastern Africa danced, sang and clapped with all of their hearts in welcome.

YWAM Jubilee Event #19:  Port Harcourt, Nigeria

On the 15th of May 2010 YWAMers gathered in Port Harcourt from across Nigeria to celebrate the 50th anniversary with the founders, Loren and Darlene Cunningham. Prior to the grand Jubilee celebration, Paul Dangtoumda, the national leader, had called for a staff conference as a step which would prepare YWAM Nigeria to enter into the year of Jubilee. This was a great time of reflection as YWAMers from across the nation united in prayer with the determination to experience the blessings of Jubilee. Nothing must hold them back. Paul Dangtoumda, Mrs. Ann Amene and Pastor Chris Delvan were the guest speakers during the staff conference that started three days before the Jubilee, with approximately 350 participants.

Drums.  Dancing.  Jumping.  This is Africa.  Shouting.  Singing.  Whistles.  This is Africa.  Revival.  Redemption.  Reconciliation.  This is Africa.  As over 500 gathered from all over southern Africa on May 24 for our YWAM 50th Anniversary Jubilee Celebration, we had so much to celebrate and thank God for over the past five decades.
