YWAMer Rudi Lack Passed Away February 3. 2010,
Rudi Lack was YWAM’s first member from Switzerland and Europe. He joined Youth With A Mission in the winter of 1969 after translating for Loren Cunningham, the founder of Youth With A Mission, in a German speaking church in Switzerland.
The ministry that God had Rudi involved in spread across the world. He was the first person from YWAM to minister in East Africa, South Africa, China and many other regions and nations of the world.
Rudi’s ministry will live on the countless lives that he touched while serving in YWAM. He gained the nick-name “the YWAM Bumblebee” because he was known to “cross-pillinate and share vision that leads to great fruitfulness!”. He distributed millions of Christian books around the world and wrote two books, “Breakthrough – Taking the Gospel Across Forgidden Borders” and “101 Leadership Principles”.

I have just read Rudi’s book “Breakthrough” and enjoyed every letter and chapter. I wanted to contact him to tell him about his remarkable book, not realizing that he passed away on 3 Feb this year. I am so sorry to hear that. If I was only 30 years younger I would have joined YWAM. When I got saved in 1974 I did not know about YWAM, only once crossed my road in Worcester in 1983. I met a few young people on a far with Christian friends of mine. If Rudi’s wife is still alive i just want to say to her, what a remarkable man, the Rudi used to know through his book. Thank you Lord for Rudi
Rudi was my friend and the best man at my wedding. We first met at the British Assemblies of God Bible College in 1962. He was an inspiration as we shared many adventures together in difficult and out of the way places including the villages of the Hindu Kush and the Karakoram region of North Pakistan. It was usually Rudi who provided the vision and thrust when things got really tough. Much missed!
