Tribute: Wayne Cordeiro - New Hope Christian College

“Loren Cunningham, founder of YWAM, was called Home yesterday. To me, he was a giant of faith and a pioneer. We don’t have many of them. Loren, among a few others, led the way. He inspired me to love missions.

One day I asked him: “Loren, you travel a lot to do mission work. Would you suggest I do the same?” He replied: “Wayne, you will never touch a foreign land wherein you won’t return the same.”

40 years later, 160 church plants, and according to United Airlines, 2.3 million miles later, I would readily agree. You were absolutely right.

Thank you Loren for your legacy which now motivates hundreds of others, like me, to carry the torch of the Gospel around the world.”
