Find Your Purpose with the YWAM URBAN DTS

By Ben Venable on 19 Jul 2017

The entire framework of our human reality is filled with cracks and fissures, all of which can and should be fixed by focusing and investing into our vertical relationship with God, which in turn smooths out our horizontal relationships with others.

Adventures In Street Evangelism

By Kriya Herzog on 5 Jul 2017

Now, I love street evangelism and find myself addicted to it! I cannot help but talk to people about Jesus and pray for people everywhere I go. I even tell people that it's what I do for fun! What changed for me then?
