Bringing God's light into the darkness
"To represent Christ well in our community"
YWAM Las Vegas was founded in 1996 by Richard and Kara Thompson. Their vision was to mobilize young people to share the gospel with the people of Las Vegas and the 40 million tourists that visit here each year.
Today, that vision has expanded to include several churches and ministry partnerships focused on international mobilization, evangelism, youth leadership, and worship and prayer.
SERVING
THE CHURCH
We love the Church! Some call YWAM a “para-church” organization but we call it part of the global body of Christ. As part of the Church body we partner with local churches, youth, pastors, leaders and ministries as well as being active members in local fellowships
CHANGING
THE CITY
We love Las Vegas! Some call it sin city but we call it grace city. We are expanding our current ministries working with foster children, inner city youth, EMT workers and international tourists while pioneering new focused ministries to help other at risk communities
REACHING
THE NATIONS
We love the Nations! Some say “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” We say, “What happens in Vegas will change the world!” We’re sending training and sending effective missionaries to the most unreached parts of the world, especially Creative Access Areas.
