Youth With A Mission

(1) Youth With A Mission Experiments With New, Unscriptural Missions Strategy by Watchman's Trumpet - 2000, Foundation Magazine, Dennis W.Costella, May - Jun 2000
"Several international missions organizations, including Youth With a Mission (YWAM), are testing a new approach to missionary work in areas where Christianity is unwelcome. A March 24, 2000, Charisma News Service report said some missionaries are now making converts but are allowing them to "hold on to many of their traditional religious beliefs and practices" so as to refrain from offending others within their culture."

(2) Radical Missionary Approach Produces 'Messianic Muslims' Retaining Islamic Identity by Andy Butcher, Charisma News Service, March 24, 2000
YWAM has not only been involved in many unscriptural activities. "Spiritual mapping", promotion of Third Wave materials like Rick Joyner's book THE FINAL QUEST (since taken off their Canada site as of 8/02) George Otis' exaggeration and fabrications in his TRANSFORMATIONS video (also taken off their Canada site as of 8/02) as well as his book STRONGHOLDS OF THE 10/40 WINDOW (which YWAM publishes), as well as PRAYING THROUGH THE 100 GATEWAY CITIES OF THE 10/40 WINDOW by C. Peter Wagner on the subject of "spiritual warfare" prayer (also published by YWAM). But some in YWAM have also adopted a new mission's strategy that should cause churches everywhere to seriously consider disassociating themselves with this once evangelical group. This new strategy goes directly against the Great Commission which states not that we are to make "converts" but to make "disciples" of all nations (peoples). "Messianic Muslims" who continue to read the Koran, visit the mosque and say their daily prayers but accept Christ as their Savior are the products of the strategy, which is being tried in several countries, according to Youth With a Mission (YWAM), one of the organizations involved. You can find the original article written by the YWAM Muslim missionary here.

(3) The "Spiritual Mapping" Of Youth With A Mission by GLR, 4/00
A page with various articles examining some of the false doctrines that YWAM has incorporated into their program over the years including Charles Finney's pragmatic views of revival, Moral Government Theology, Abelard's Atonement, the spiritual mapping & warfare techniques of George Otis & C. Peter Wagner, and other problems which have led to the YWAM being blown about by every wind of doctrine. "There are certain corner stones which have made the "casting about by every wind of doctrine" and "spiritual abuse" possible in YWAM. It is important to understand some of the things on this web page if you really want to understand present, confusing trends and movements in YWAM and other organizations."

(4) Messianic Muslims? by Orell Steinkamp, The Plumbline, Vol. 6, No. 2, March/April 2001
"Last year it was reported that several international mission organizations, including Youth With A Mission (YWAM) are testing a new approach to missionary work in areas where Christianity is unwelcome."

(5) Is That Really You, God? Hearing the Voice of God - A Review by Loren Cunningham with his sister, Janice Rogers, Chosen Books, 1984 - Evaluation, quotes and comments by Rev. Greg Robertson, Jakarta, Indonesia.
"Although Robertson had decided that his YWAM experience was something from the past which must be left at the foot of the cross, he soon found that the same false doctrines and spiritual misgivings which had so
negatively affected his life through his YWAM Daze, had progressed to new levels, moved further away from
Scripture and had become a poisonous leaven for other groups and movements."

(6) Loren Cunningham, YWAM and False Prophecy by B.B. in a letter dated June 4, 2001
"... Because the "prophecies" that had been given in England, the U.S.A. etc. were so definite that the "Maori" was God's ship for YWAM, when the ship was finally sent to the wrecking yard in Asia for scrap, not only were the Christians involved severely hurt, but the non-believers in N.Z. laughed those who had been deceived to scorn. The credibility of the Christian church in general was hurt severely among the unbelievers as well as many in the church."

(7) Joy Dawson Of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) Joins Forces With Benny Hinn by Sandy Simpson, 1/28/02 "In Benny Hinn's Honolulu, HI crusade at the Blaisdel Arena on 1/11/02 Joy Dawson of YWAM appeared on stage with Benny. Prior and subsequent to this appearance she was also featured on his TV programs. Onstage Joy Dawson was highly complimentary of Benny Hinn and his ministries. They made plans to reach out to the youth of HI together officially that night."

(8) Open Letter To The Leadership Of YWAM by Sandy Simpson, 2/8/02
This is an open letter that was sent out to all the leadership of YWAM asking them why they are now endorsing and working with false prophet Benny Hinn. We are waiting for a response from ANY of YWAM's leadership. No Answer From YWAM As Of:

(9) YWAM And Benny Hinn Agree To Work Together by Mike Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason Ministries, 3/17/02
"New developments in evangelism and discipleship."

(10) YWAM - A "New Evangelism" For The 21st Century by Mike Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason Ministries, 4/13/02
"There has been a controversy brewing on a new type of evangelism used in YWAM and a few other missionary organizations. It’s about doing mission work in a completely new way unheard of before, an experimental way, that is supposed to yield results where there were only a few results before. This article is not written to just be controversial, but to look at a very real issue that can change the church not just Muslims. It is more serious than most will want to admit for true missionary work is at stake. I have made the whole matter as simple as possible, so that even a layman can understand the ramifications of what is now taking place."

(11) Indigenous People Issues - A Warning About The World Christian Gathering Of Indigenous People by Sandy Simpson, Pacific Waves Newsletter, 5/02
"But I do not endorse movements that, for all their good intentions, are a mixture of good, unbiblical and heretical theology. How can we effectively bring the gospel if that gospel is tainted by the world, the flesh and the devil. We as Christians must stand firm in the faith once for all delivered to the saints. We must not get involved in ecumenical movements that look like the world, act like the world, and instead of bringing the Word to the world are bringing the world to the world." Go here for a commentary on the full transcript of the "Word To The World" radio programs 541-550.

(12) Book Review of "TAKING OUR CITIES FOR GOD" by John Dawson, YWAM Publishing 1989 Reviewed by Steve Mitchell, Answers For India, 11/02
Taking Our Cities For God, written by John Dawson is over 10 years old. Why would A.F.I. bother reviewing a book that some might consider outdated and seldom read? The reason is because it is still heavily recommended reading for YWAM youth and staff across the globe today. YWAM's DTS (Discipleship Training Schools) feature this book (in some form) as source material in some classes and the students are taught to implement these prayer and spiritual warfare practices.

(13) YWAM: The Facts About Their Headlong Dive Into Apostasy by Sandy Simpson, 12/7/02
YWAM has been slipping into apostasy for years. I and many others have tried to help them back to orthodoxy, written letters to their leaders, all without success. It has been made plain to us and others that they have completely bought into every aspect of the New Apostolic Reformation and are now very visible and vocal proponents of the C. Peter Wagner "gospel".

Testimonies about what goes on inside YWAM from YWAMers themselves.

(15) The Dialectic & Praxis: Diaprax and the End of the Ages by Dean Gotcher
The Hegelian Dialectic/Diaprax consists of three steps called Thesis, Antithesis, and Synthesis. This method is being employed everywhere in our modern society, including the Church. It is especially evident in groups such as mega-churches, the Third Wave, YWAM and other apostate groups.

(16) Why I Am The Way I Am About YWAM by Steve Mitchell, Power To Stand Ministries
I must stand by my current convictions: YWAM is not a wise choice for anyone interested in safe spiritual mission work at this time. See our other current as well as forthcoming articles for info on some areas of real concern in YWAM. False teaching has consequences both for the perpetrator and for the victim. Test all things by God’s Word and reject the false. Until YWAM leaders like Lehmann, Cunningham, Dawson, Greene and others make this effort we should abstain from sending our young people or going ourselves.

(17) An Open Letter To Calvary Chapel Pastors Of America Concerning YWAM by Steve Mitchell, Power To Stand Ministries, 2/02

Dear reader, this is a copy of an open letter sent to many Calvary Chapel pastors in the United States outlining some existing concerns about affiliating with Youth With A Mission. I am pleased to report that I got almost 30 responses from concerned Calvary Chapel pastors/youth pastors. All received were favorable in that they agreed with the concerns I raised. In addition, several even shared specific incidences that confirmed these things. All were thankful that a stand was being taken and felt that it was a good thing that they weren’t the only ones with these concerns.

(19) Fivefold Ministry Makes A Comeback by Christian Research Journal, Volume 22, Number 1 (1999)
The two cassette tapes are eerie. One speaker, Bill Hamon, urges the congregation to invite “war angels” into the sanctuary and uses sound effects — “Whish!” — as he suggests the angels are arriving. Another speaker, Cindy Jacobs, foresees revival coming to the Latter-day Saints Temple in Salt Lake City and to Freemasons within the Southern Baptist Convention. She speaks of God giving instant sex-change operations to transvestites on New Orleans’s debauched Bourbon Street. She notes that the anointing of the Holy Spirit now resides in her left arm, having moved from her right arm. I offer these quotes to you because YWAM is selling books by Cindy Jacobs, as well as other false teachers and false prophets from the International Coalition Of Apostles on their main YWAM.org site. They sell books by these New Apostolic proponents and sympathizers, and a partial list was as follows as of 2/04:

Rick Warren (Purpose Driven Life, Purpose Driven Church) Ted Haggard (Dog Training, Fly Fishing, and Sharing Christ in the 21st Century) Bill Hybels (Courageous Leadership, Becoming A Contagious Christian, Leadership By The Book)Cindy Jacobs(Possessing the Gates of the Enemy, The Voice of God) C. Peter Wagner (100 Gateway Cities, Acts of the Holy Spirit, Breaking Strongholds in Your City, Churches That Pray, Confronting The Powers, New Apostolic Churches, Prayer Shield, Warfare Prayer, Your Spiritual Gifts) Dutch Sheets (Intercessory Prayer) Rich Marshall (God at Work, foreword by Tommy Tenney) David Cannistraci (Apostles And The Emerging Apostolic Movement) George Otis, Jr. (God's Trademarks, Informed Intercession, Last of the Giants, Strongholds of the 10/40 Window, Twilight Labyrinth) Charles Kraft (Anthropology for Christian Witness, Christianity with Power) Winkie Pratney (Fire On The Horizon) Steve Hawthorne (Prayerwalking) John Dawson (Healing America's Wounds, Taking Our Cities for God) Joy Dawson (Forever Ruined for the Ordinary, Influencing Children to Become World Changers, Intercession, Thrilling And Fulfilling, Intimate Friendship With God, Some Of The Ways Of God In Healing)

For the leadership of YWAM, including co-founders Loren Cunningham and Joy Dawson (who have both appeared on false prophet Benny Hinn's TV program and Dawson in his crusade in Honolulu promising cooperation from YWAM) to continually attempt to hide the fact that YWAM is involved in promoting Latter Rain doctrines, books and personalities in the New Apostolic Reformation all over the world is highly disingenuous!

(20) Richard Twiss Connections by Sandy Simpson, 10/1/04
Richard Twiss is spreading the doctrines of the New Apostolic Reformation and is endorsed by them. He claims that the Great Spirit of the Indians is the Holy Spirit of the Bible, and endorses ministries who make this same claim. He endorses and promoted books by people like Daniel Kikawa that present information as fact when it is proven myth. He continues to teach that the Great Spirit is the Holy Spirit by wearing the cultural items associated with the Great Spirit, even though it is a historical fact that the Great Spirit is a pantheistic god that required blood rituals and human sacrifice. Richard Twiss claims that what he is doing is not syncretism, when it is the very definition of syncretism.

(25) Regarding The Accuracy Of Oral Traditions - With Reference To Daniel Kikawa's Book "Perpetuated In Righteousness" by Sandy Simpson, 5/10/05
The accuracy of oral tradition is, in a word, "inaccurate". I dare say that if we were able to trace back most oral traditions today, as God sees them from an eternal perspective, we would see the mutations, changes and fabrications involved in modern mythology. We would also see a lot of "fables".

(26) The Testimony Of Heneri Opukaha'ia - regarding the state of religion and society in Hawaii before the Gospel - A Rebuttal To Daniel Kikawa's Book "Perpetuated In Righteousness" by Sandy Simpson, 5/17/05
This article is a reminder of what Hawaii was like before the Gospel was preached. This is the account of a very important eyewitness. It is an unfortunate fact that often, by the third generation of Christians in any given area of the world, important information has begun to be lost and forgotten. This is clearly evident in the writings of people like Daniel Kikawa. The stark facts, of Hawaiian culture and religion before the Gospel was preached in Hawaii, are made evident by the testimony of a man without whom the peoples of Hawaii would never have had the opportunity to hear the Gospel message and would still be living in the sins of their ancestors.

(28) Be Wary Of YWAM - A Warning to Hawaii Churches Concerning Youth With A Mission by Steve Mitchell, Power To Stand, 6/05
Make no mistake. YWAM as an organization has been and currently is involved in promoting and endorsing Third Wave/New Apostolic Reformation (NAR for short) principles, practices, and teachers. This is not to say that every individual out of the 200,000 or so somehow involved in this group holds uniformly to what the leadership promotes, BUT when YWAM leaders officially cooperate and collaborate with dangerous teachers (including endorsing and publishing their books), we need to see this massive movement for what it is in light of it’s official views. What follows is a brief look at some developments in the past few decades concerning YWAM and its leaders.

(29) 11 Reasons To Reject The Teachings Of The Indigenous People's Movement by Sandy Simpson, 3/4/06
When you mythologize religion and ignore the clear teachings of the Bible, as above, in order to make people feel better about themselves and their cultures, you are effectively preaching another gospel. Don't have time for this 24 page article? Try the shortened 16 page version here.

(30) The Newest Heresy of the NAR: Orality by Discernment Research Group, Herescope, 3/8/2006
The latest fad is potentially the most grievous heresy to arise in the recent history of the Church. It is a repudiation of literacy -- the written Word. It is now widely being taught to missionaries, particularly through mission groups closely associated with the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). - A global partnership involving Campus Crusade for Christ, the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, Wycliffe International & The Seed Company, Trans World Radio and YWAM—using chronological Bible storying among unreached people groups.

(31) An Endrun Around Rom. 1 And Acts 17 - A Gameplan of YWAM by Sandy Simpson, 3/4/06
Daniel Kikawa, formerly with YWAM and now with his own organization called Aloha Ke Akua, and Danny Lehmann, Director of YWAM Honolulu have repeatedly pulled Romans 1 and Acts 17 from their contexts in order to promote IPM ideology. I have yet to hear them, or any other leader in the IPM for that matter, teach these Scriptures in context. Yanking Scriptures out of context is one of the first marks of false teaching.

(32) Golden Calf Evangelism by Mike Oppenheimer, 4/11/06

(36) WCGIP Davao Event Planned To Redeem The "Cross" by Sandy Simpson, 6/23/06
The following from the current Wiconi "Smoke Signals" Newsletter is a perfect example of why Christians everywhere need to get the word out for indigenous churches to avoid this Indigenous People's movement. This kind of teaching and demonstration is not a good witness to the world.

(37) IPM False Teaching About The Names Of God by Sandy Simpson, 6/24/06
Danny Lehmann, YWAM Director in Honolulu and pastor at Calvary Chapel Komo Mai was on the Calvary Chapel KLHT radio station again on Friday, June 23, 2006 with another argument to try to shore up the false doctrines that he and others of the IPM, including Don Richardson, Richard Twiss, Daniel Kikawa, have been teaching. Their claim is that God has many names in many cultures and can be legitimately worshipped by those names. Lehmann argues that the proof of this idea comes from the fact that in the Bible God has many "names".

(38) Purpose Driven Hip-Hop? from an email update from Youth Alive Victoria, commentary by Sandy Simpson, 4/20/07
I received this email update from Youth Alive Victoria. In a previous article I showed how Youth Alive promoted the Third Wave in concerts worldwide. I also showed how they promote the use of Alpha Course. Youth Alive continues down the road to apostasy by promoting "Purpose Driven Hip-Hop". This shows the influence of Rick Warren's books in their organization. IT also shows they very much support YWAM which is aa adherant and promoter of the New Apostolic Reformation. It is my hope the parents will take this as a warning and not send their kids to be infleunce by Youth Alive!

(39) Church Shooter A Member Of Youth With A Mission by James Jacob Prasch, Moriel Ministries, 12/22/07
Matthew Murray, the deranged shooter who murdered four and attempted to murder hundreds of other Christians in his armed attacks on a mission’s center in Arvada, Colorado and on an Evangelical church in Colorado Springs had been until recently a member of the spiritually and doctrinally warped 'Youth With A Mission' (YWAM) organization founded by Loren Cunningham and promoted by Danny Lehmann.

(40) A Warning Concerning YWAM’s “The Friend’s Network”: “With Friends Like These…” by Steve Mitchell, Power To Stand Ministries, 1/14/07
Several years ago YWAM proposed a new kind of pseudo-mission endeavor in which YWAM missionaries would allegedly preach Muslims the “gospel” and a supposed great harvest would result. The idea was that a Muslim who was persuaded to believe the gospel would be encouraged to make a profession, albeit privately to avoid persecution. This new “convert” was then informed that they could continue regular mosque attendance, bowing in prayer to Allah, and Quranic reading and still be considered born again. They would then be referred to as “Messianic Muslims”. Make no mistake, they were still Muslims but had claimed some level of “belief” in Jesus Christ. As long as when they continued their “cultural” expressions of worship to Allah but inside actually prayed to Jesus Christ, they were considered saved.

(42) Inside the Insider Movement and More by Gary Gilley, Think On These Things, August/September 2010 - Volume 16, Issue 4
There are wide differences of definition and application within the Insider Movements; the above has merely been an introduction to the discussion. At stake however is whether, and to what degree, an individual can remain within his former false religion and still legitimately be considered a disciple of Christ. While certain cultural and traditional practices can be viewed as neutral, certainly the core issues such as the gospel, Scripture, the identity of God and the person and work of Christ cannot be compromised.

(43) Youth With A Mission (YWAM) - Will You Entrust Your Youth To YWAM by Chris Lawson, Spiritual Research Network, 12/5/10
In 1993, I traveled across the globe and was involved with Youth With A Mission. From California, to a YWAM Discipleship Training base on the Hawaiian island of Maui for one month, and then to Bali, Indonesia for one month of outreach YWAM style - Little did I know at the time, I was in for a real ride. Unaware of the problematic teachings with YWAM and its nose dive into unbelievable compromises and affiliation with known false teachers and false prophets, I embarked on my journey. Within one week, I was very sad that I had gotten involved. Being involved with YWAM was a very serious wake up call to what is really going on in this very compromised movement.

(44) Staking The Land by Slaughter of the Sheep, 2/20/11
I received this in e-mail from a reader and wanted to post it so you could evaluate it. I’m thinking you will come to the same conclusions I did after you read it. This was taken from a flyer distributed by a hypercharismatic church in New Jersey. Before you read it, I’m going to give you my impression. Witchcraft, nonsense, and … well, that pretty much sums it up. (DITC Note: This stems from the practices introduced to the churches by people like John Dawson and C. Peter Wagner and which is one of the many pragmatic Christian witchcraft practices being espoused and practiced by YWAM. To see the genesis of this type of thing, read Mike Oppenheimer's articles on Anna Mendez Ferrell)

(47) The Shocking History of Spiritual Warfare by End Times Prophetic, 6/15/11
This YouTube video exposes the background of many "spiritual wardare" pracitces employed by groups like YWAM. Spiritual Warfare, unlike how it is presented, is NOT a new concept or practice. Here are some key facts about spiritual warfare, prayer walking and identification repentance that the third wave charismatic church do NOT want their followers to know.

(48) The error of the Moral Government view of the atonement by Matt Slick, CARM, 3/18/12
The Moral government idea of the atonement where there is no correspondence between sin and legal debts of the law, is clearly on biblical. It denies summary Scriptures and is heretical. Please be aware of the Christ took our place on the cross (Isaiah 53:4-6). He bore our sins in his body on the cross (1 Peter 2:24). He canceled out the legal certificate of debt (Colossians 2:14). In short, he is the one who satisfy the requirements of the law, paid the debt of the law, and gives us his righteousness. This is why the Bible says we are justified (declared legally righteous), by faith ( Romans 5:1).

First of all, the best way you can support this web site is to be a Berean. Search the Scriptures daily and stand firm in your faith against the apostasy of the last days. It would give me great joy if more Christians would learn to discern! Secondly, please continue to uphold this ministry in prayer. The expository nature of this site has brought down the wrath of the enemy countless times. Thirdly, there are many costs involved in running this site as well as providing research and materials so that you will be armed with the truth. I send out three separate newsletters and provide other apologetics materials free of charge to Christian leaders in this area of the world. I am a full time missionary supported by sending churches in the U.S. For some years I did not ask for support but some people have sent me support and asked how they can help, so I want to provide the following information.
