The Lord finally called Loren Cunningham home after a life full of pioneering global missions in every nation on the world. You can watch the full Celebration of Life livestream from Kona Hawaii at lorencunningham.com.
Here in YWAM Virginia we have many staff who have interacted with Loren and Dar through the years. Paul Granger interviews Dale Mast who worked alongside Loren for many years.

I never knew that Loren loved humor so much. Great leaders enjoy having fun too.
Dale nearly shared one of his jokes in the episode!
Loren will be missed and his legacy still stands! Thank you for all the hard work you’ve done Loren!
So grateful for Loren’s authentic, consistent example over the course of decades!
we certainly wouldn’t have the values we do without his humble leadership. I’m always amazed at how he deflected attention away from himself to Jesus and others.
I never met him, but I am thankful what he has done and created. If it wasn’t for YWAM I would’ve never found a true faith in God.
Thank you to Loren for what he has done in creating YWAM and following God’s calling.
I am so grateful for what Loren has done and for everything that will come because of YWAM. May all the people, tribes and nations be reached because of how greatly God has used him!
I’m so grateful for Loren’s heart for the gospel, and for his belief that young people can make a change in the world
I really honor Loren and his courage to say YES to the Lord. My life and my family’s life are transformed by his obedience and servant leadership life style. We will carry on the torch of Legacy you gave us. Don’t not despite the small beginnings…
Loren was so inspiring in his heart for missions and people and the way he listened to God’s voice, but most inspiring was humility and the way he immediately gave God the glory for everything.
I am grateful for Loren’s example and legacy and how God has touched us through him.
It’s amazing how Loren obeyed gods commands, continued to chase after his visions and remained faithful through all challenges he faced! Now look how much it has impacted all of us!!
So thankful for Loren’s obedience to the Lord’s calling on his life. He truly left a legacy and I’m so excited to see the big things YWAM is going to continue to do!
I’ve never met him, but I’m so thankful that he followed his vision from God and created his vision, YWAM. Thank you Loren for answering your calling, allowing us, the YWAMERS, to also follow our callings. If it wasn’t for YWAM, I wouldn’t feel this close to God and knowing that getting out of your comfort zone is good and not as scary as you might think when He’s right by your side.
It’s an honor to have met Loren and listened to his teachings. What he established by obeying God’s call is extraordinary and changed the view on missions forever. We will be forever thankful for your obedience to the Lord, Papa Lauren.
I’m so thankful for Loren’s legacy, impacting generations, and changing lives. His obedience to God changed our lives through YWAM!
Loren’s obedience to just say “yes” is so inspirational!
This really blessed me. Hearing the the first-hand testimony about someone who operated in obedience in such a manner is inspirational. When I move on from this mortal coil, I want a legacy such as this… as a man that followed Christ wholeheartedly, in humility and in love.
Taking DTS right now and I became a witness of how YWAM is totally God’s design given to Loren. I’m so grateful for his YES.
I am very grateful for Loren and his heart to reach the nation’s. I am glad he through God created ywam. It’s amazing how he had a heart for the loss.
Loren’s obedience to God’s guidance and commission has changed so many lives including my family’s! I am so grateful that my parents said yes to doing a DTS and now I have been given the opportunity to follow in their steps of deepening my relationship with the Lord and working in missions! All because Loren said yes to the Lord’s calling!
