YWAM Promo
Youth With A Mission (YWAM) commissioned me to create a vision video to inspire volunteers and communicate their global mission. The final film was adopted by founder Loren Cunningham, who used it before nearly every speech until his passing. Translated into multiple languages, the video became a central tool for recruitment and training across YWAM bases worldwide. Its blend of storytelling and spiritual clarity helped ignite callings and mobilize thousands. More than a decade later, the video continues to be used globally, demonstrating the lasting power of a well-crafted story rooted in vision, mission, and the heart of God.
