Whatever it Takes to Know God and Make Him Known, Together! Also known as YWAM (pronounced “WHY-wham”). See the "About Us" page on our website for more info.

Youth With A Mission is a global movement of Christians from many cultures, age groups, and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world. We unite in a common purpose to do whatever it takes to know God and to make Him known together.

As Christians we all have the call to partner with the great commission, no excuses. What that looks like specifically is where there is variation. (Matthew 28:19-20)

Here at YWAM Montana we send our school out with that purpose and mission. When we send our teams out to the nations they have the opportunity to teach others about God’s love for them and for their communities.

What are you doing now to engage with the great commission? If you need ideas to start DM us we’d love to hear from you!

Because statistics have faces.

They have names.

They are people who are searching.

What looks like a number from a distance, becomes a person as you get closer to God’s heart.

42% of the worlds population has never heard the Gospel.

It seems pretty clear to us.

Have you ever stood in front of something so beautiful you couldn’t describe it?

God didn’t have that problem.

He spoke. It was. It was good.

The very things we often struggle to put into our own words: a sunset, a mountain range, the majesty of a forest; He brought to life by words.  On EDTS, staff and students are often left gobsmacked by the beauty of God’s creation. There is a profound realization of God’s character that is revealed when we stand atop a mountain peak, look over the horizon, and know that the same God who made the world so grand, formed you with the ability to perceive and appreciate it.

The only phrase on your mind:

“Glory be to God!”

Taking verses from the Bible at a surface level only, is like taking a drink from a pool meant for swimming in.
 It’s easy to stop at the first thought that the words of the Bible bring up within you. Easier still to move on to the next verse, instead of sitting in the full weight of what you just read. We know; it’s tempting for us too.  But Scripture isn’t a collection of basic truths and instagram bios. The verses we’ve been memorizing since we were young often have an asterisk we’ve been missing, or quite frankly, ignoring. “Love one another” Jesus said over feet He knew would walk away. “Go into all the nations” was a sending, not a slogan.

Going deeper isn’t always comfortable. The verses we love start asking things of us we didn’t sign up for. “Love your enemies” stops being beautiful and starts being specific: the coworker, the ex, the family member you’ve been avoiding. “Take up your cross” stops being poetic and starts costing something.

This is where Scripture actually meets us. Not in the shallow end, but in the deep; where our feet can’t touch and we have to trust the One who wrote it.

Let’s go deeper.

THEY DID IT 🎉🌍

Introducing the graduates of the 2026 Winter DTS!

Five months ago they stepped in with open hands and willing hearts. Since then, they’ve encountered God, served the nations, built lifelong friendships, and learned what it looks like to live surrendered to Jesus.

Now they’re being sent out.

Some to schools.
Some to ministries.
Some overseas.
Some back home with fresh vision.
All with a mission.

We could not be more proud of you all ❤️

Graduates! Tell us in the comments where God is leading you next 👇

This situation is in our nightmares…🫠

Being a missionary without celebrating the nations makes about as much sense as pineapple on pizza.

Some of you are nodding. Some of you are already typing your argument in the comments. And that’s totally fair.

But here’s the thing about the nations: they were never up for debate.

Psalm 2 doesn’t call them a mission field. It calls them an inheritance. Psalm 86 doesn’t ask if they’ll come. It says they will. All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you. There’s a past tense: made, and a future tense: come. The whole arc has already been written.

So when we pack a room with flags and food and languages we can’t pronounce, we’re not being cultural for the sake of it. We’re rehearsing something Revelation 7 already promises and the Psalms have been saying out loud for three thousand years.

The nations belong to Him. International Night is just our way of agreeing out loud.

Are you in need of a paradigm shift?  A paradigm is just a pair of glasses you forgot you were wearing. It’s how you see the world because of how you’ve seen it before.

It’s the information you take in. It’s the conversations around the dinner table growing up. The voices on your feed speaking to you, ours included.  We run a missions page. So let’s be honest about the lens we’ve handed people.

We are active in our own goals, swept away in the hype of the greatest movement of all time: the radical love of Jesus Christ being shared with those who have never heard it.   We have this urgency to get it done. The fire to go over takes us and the invitation Jesus gave to participate in this ministry becomes an assignment given to us by a manager. And we aren’t the only ones who get swept up in this. 
This. This a paradigm.  “We have to share God’s word with the world! We have to share it with those who have never heard!” It’s true. The gravity of this mission is very real, but so is the profound grace of Jesus Christ; and it being the reason why we are qualified to be messengers in the first place.  It’s to this fact that we find ourselves within the shift of “have to”, responsibility and weight alone, to “get to”, active choice and participation from accepting the invitation into ministry issued us by God.  “Go and make disciples of all nation.”

A command. A command we get to choose to follow.  Have you?

We came hungry. He came near.

A few days of prayer and fasting at YWAM Montana, and we’re still trying to put words to it. There was dancing. There was kneeling. There was laughter that caught us off guard and tears that didn’t need explaining. There were prayers whispered over shoulders and shouted over the room. There were hands raised before answers came, and joy that didn’t wait for permission.

Fasting doesn’t make God move. It moves us. It quiets the noise we’ve been calling normal and reminds us that He has always been the meal. And when His people get hungry together, the Spirit shows up in ways that ruin you for anything less.

We asked for direction. We asked for breakthrough. We praised before we saw it, and we’re going to keep praising as it comes.

He is worthy. He is near. He is faithful.

Thank you, Jesus.

In this special live series of You Are Here, recorded in front of a live audience, Dr. Mark Masucci and Nathan Hughes explore one of the biggest questions of our time:

How do we live a meaningful Christian life in a secular world?

Over four weeks we’ll wrestle with:

•Secularism and how it has shaped the modern mind
•The rise of the “engineer” and the “romantic”
•Our deep longing to be known, seen, and whole
•Why anxiety, loneliness, and identity feel so fragile today

Join us starting this Thursday night at 6:30pm!
