Tyler YWAM Youth with a Mission is located in Lindale, Texas. For those of you who don’t know what YWAM is or what it stands for I will tell you. It is a christian organization that loves God and wants to make God known through out the nations.

YWAM Tyler has a variety of schools you can choose from. Their philosophy is to know God and to make him known. It has over 15 schools you can choose from depending on your interests. It is a place where you can be temporary or long term depending on your choosing. It is a place where you can go and learn about God, his nature and character.

You learn how to hear His voice and how to cultivate a relationship with the Creator of the Universe. I know that there are some people out who are slandering this ministry. The way I see it there will always be people who choose to see and believe the things that they want to about a particular place or person. The truth of the matter is that in YWAM you can only find people who love God and want to do His will above all else.

It offers Discipleship school where you learn who God is and who you are in Him.

You have about five months for this school. Three months you spend in class having lectures and the rest you spend out on mission teams ministering to people who need help in all nations depending where you feel that God called you.

It also provides for you S.O.E. which is School of Evangelism, English as a second Language, School of Arts, Mobile Teams. Living alternatives is also a YWAM ministry which offers help to pregnant women or teens that need help and don’t know the next step to take. It is the most loving place where you can be. I know that because I myself went there 10 years ago when I ended up pregnant and alone and nowhere to go.

Father Heart helped me make the best decision for my baby. I also did a D.T.S. which is a discipleship school with YWAM and loved it.

My outreach was in Japan. So I got to go see another culture and share God’s love with them at the same time. I also went and did School of the Bible through YWAM which changed my life. I have forgotten about the Father Heart of God. For awhile I backslid and decided that being out in the world was more fun than being tied down to some religious thing. Boy was I wrong, it only brought me a world of pain.

In the end, YWAM was the safest and most loving environment I have ever been around. People there care for your well being and their goal is for you to know God and have a loving relationship with God. I know that there are alot of hings people are saying about YWAM which are not true. Either those people have never been there or they have and got in trouble and are angry at the ministry for having to leave because they would not comply with the rules. You can always find people that have something negative to say.

The truth is that YWAM is a place where people love God with their whole heart and then made it their life’s mission to make God known and to win souls over to Christ. But just like any other ministry of course, you are working with people that are not perfect and things won’t always go your way. In fact you can bet that things won’t go your way. But it’s worth leaving things behind to find out God’s heart for you and others. I would encourage everyone who has not visited YWAM Lindale, Texas to do so and discover for themselves that it is a place where people gather together to serve God and learn more about Him and make Him known to the world.

There is so much more I could say but I will choose to end now so it won’t get too long and people decide not to read this article.
