There is a great discussion going on about personal support raising in YWAM and what it means to live by faith in YWAM. Lynn Green started the discussion with an article that he wrote for the last International YWAMer. The article was reposted on the YWAM Facebook Page.
The original article talks about the call that YWAMers have to a Levital calling and to live off the tithes and gifts of the other tribes of Israel.

Youth Street in Townsville and Mt Isa was featured at the recent North Queensland Cowboys Rugby League game that was played in Townsville. Over 40 free passes to Youth Street were handed out on the night to many of the young people who attended and the Youth Street commercial was shown on the jumbo screen during the game.
Youth Street is a program for youth from 12 – 17 to give them a fun and safe place to hang out, play and be mentored run by Youth With A Mission in Australia and around the world.

Faith Week is a week where Missionaries through Youth With A Mission are sent alone or with a partner for a surprise no location with no planning. They rely completely on hearing God’s voice to hear what they are to do there, and how they are to survive. The participants in Faith Week are deposited somewhere in the world with no plans, no accommodation and only their ability to hear God’s voice to survive where they are sent.
