Our Guiding Values as YWAM:
Keeping our YWAM Values in mind
Here for your reference or interest is our major 2020 projects with Youth With A Mission (YWAM).
We will be updating them as the year progresses.
ACT (American Circle Team)
During the year our team normally plans numerous prayer meetings off hours to tune in to what the Lord wants for this next season of time. As 2019 arrived major changes within YWAM Leadership structure has changed our actual job as it has been through the years. As the new ACT, or “American Circle Team” begins operating for it’s third year we still meet often as a former team and support what God wants to do in North America.
We meet as regular as each of our schedules allow to pray for each other, the team, each person’s needs, and any other area relevant.
YWAM 60th Celebration in 2020 –

On the Road 2020
2020 again brings an enormous amount of travel time. Kathy and I once again look forward to the adventures this year brings as we travel for ministry. We will begin our travel as we head for Las Vegas at the end of February. This first scheduled trip comes under the MRO “ministry hat,” however, rarely do our travels only involve either YWAM or racing (MRO) because both ministries always seems to get involved wherever we are.
This year also will find us in more of the West Coast States except Iowa and St. Louis, MO and often Watkins Glen, NY, Charlotte, NC, Daytona Beach, FL among other states as needed. Often these places become one of the year’s highlights due to Bob’s huge history there. So, we cannot wait to see what the Lord has planned for us this year. One never knows what the Lord asks us to do or where we may go for Him, …and THAT has proven true and exciting, yet often daunting throughout these thirty plus years serving Him in ministry!

NIKO
The 2020 NIKO schedule is ALWAYS in planning and dates are open. However, YWAM Salem NIKO has ended its ministry. However, there are a number of locations around the world and a few in North America that still does this incredible training program that will change you forever. To find out where you can go to participate in a NIKO simply, go to: YWAM.org
As we closed our Salem NIKO program at the end of 2018 I had staffed 58 NIKO programs from when they began in 1994. Our entire adult family, Kathy and Me, our two daughters and their husbands, and even my niece have all staffed over 25 of them. Why? Simple, because we saw the life changing effect they had not only on the participants over the years, but upon ourselves also. So, I am still encouraging everyone to consider doing one, and maybe really get adventurous and do one in a foreign nation!
Scheduled At present: See YWAM.org for complete list and up to date.
