Loren and Darlene Cunningham

Jason and I had the incredible privilege of hearing from both Loren and Darlene Cunningham this week.  It's hard to describe in words the impact their lectures had on us!  If you're not familiar with them, Loren started YWAM exactly 50 years ago, and is considered a father of the faith.  He is good friends with Oral Roberts and Billy Graham and shared several stories of their time together in the past. 
Their stories of ministry over the past 50 years are simply amazing. Loren is a great story teller.  I felt like I was listening to a grandfather telling radical stories of God's work in and through their lives.  Darlene has a smile that will melt your heart.  I held back tears when she began to share stories of God's faithfulness in their family's lives over the years.  One time the Lord provided $5 for their daughter to have school supplies, and another time the Lord provided $5,200,000 for certain YWAM need.  Jason even confessed to shedding tears.  Their is such a richness to Loren and Darlene.  They have life to the full!
