YWAM Kerygma USA
Goal of Program
Our Goal is to establish a pioneer community in the United States where Catholics and other Christians can train and live together to be sent out as Lay Missionaries to evangelize the world locally and globally to know God and make Him known. We train Protestant believers how to work alongside their Catholic brethren acknowledging our common gospel and respecting our uniqueness. We are encouraging and educating a missionary community of intentional disciples of Protestants and Catholics, learning from one another’s traditions as we proclaim the Kerygma together – the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
