YWAM Lectures

These are the first lectures Gordon Olson and Harry Conn delivered for Youth with A Mission (YWAM). The purpose of these lectures was training for students for the El Paso YWAM Crusade held June 20-26, 1966. The lectures began on June 18, 1966. Evangelistic outreach (Crusade) began on June 20, 1966 and ended June 24, 1966. Gordon Olson lectured in the morning before the evangelistic teams went out into the community. Harry Conn lectured in the evenings. The schedule suggests that there was at least one lecture given by Loren Cunningham. Mr. Cunningham’s lecture has not yet been found among the tapes belonging to the library.

Please Note: There are some audio issues in this series we hope to resolve in the future.

Gordon’s Legacy

  • "When the record of modern missions is completed in heaven, Gordon’s contribution to it all will go down in history. He will be surely remembered by those others who too began to see what he saw, realized with tears and gratitude that the words ‘God so loved the world’ really had meaning."

    Winkie Pratney, Author & YWAM speaker

  • "Brother Gordon, I wanted to write and say how much I appreciate you-your life, your spirit and the fruit of many hours and years of study that has gone into shaping my life, my thinking, my theology, my understanding of God, his character and his ways. There are three or four men that I look to more than any other that have helped me become who I am, and you are one of them. I felt it would be important for me to write and say how much I love and appreciate and respect you and how much of you comes through me every time I stand to speak."

    Floyd Mclung, Pastor & Author

  • "You have been a constant blessing to me and to so many others. I just want to say how much we love you and what deep gratitude we have for you and your ministry.”

    Loren Cunningham, During his tenure in YWAM Leadership

  • “You helped me hunger to know God more. Your materials have made God far more understandable and I have hungered to know Him personally because of your example.”
