IT STARTED WITH A VISION
In 1956, 21-year-old Loren was on a missions trip in the Bahamas to evangelize and gather young people together. He found himself kneeling beside his bed, asking God about the message he was to speak that evening to the youth. At the time, young people were not considered candidates for missions and Loren was struggling to inspire amongst this reality.
He looked up at the white walls of his room and God responded with an unexpected vision that would lay the foundation of the largest volunteer missions movement in history; Youth with a Mission.

When a critical mass of people have the Bible and apply what it teaches in their lives, a nation is transformed.
