Youth With A Mission is an interdenominational movement of Christians working to help
make a difference in a needy world. Founded in 1960, it is now one of the largest
interdenominational and international Christian ministries, with over 16,000 volunteer
staff (and thousands more affiliated workers) based in over 1,000 locations in over 175
