YWAM Cuernavaca Receives National Director’s Blessing
About 4 years ago, God gave us a vision to start a Mission Base in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. Over the years, God has continued to clarify that vision and confirm His desire to see a ministry geared toward youth started in that area.
During November we had the opportunity to meet with the National Director of YWAM Mexico and share the vision God gave us to start a YWAM base in Cuernavaca. We received the blessing to move forward with plans of opening a YWAM Operating Location in 2008.
We’re coming to realize just how much work we have ahead of us and look forward to the team of dedicated individuals God is going to raise up that will partner with this important ministry.
Cuernavaca is known around the world as, “The Land of Eternal Spring,” due to the average daytime temperature being approximately 80 degrees year-round. Many flock to Cuernavaca from Mexico City on the weekends, the largest city in the world which is less than 1 hour away. Cuernavaca is located in the state of Morelos which is a very historically significant state in Mexico and houses many important ancient ruins as well as a variety of different indigenous languages and ethnic groups.
Not everything is 80 degrees and sunny in Cuernavaca, though. The needs in many of the outlying areas are tremendous. From communities dealing with poverty, drugs and alcohol and gang violence, to mountain communities an hour south in the state of Guerrero who have only the Catholic Church to turn to and face religious persecution if they invite or attend other denominations into their town.
