SALARY & BENEFITS

YWAM does not pay its staff.  Yes, you read that right! 

The life of a Team Member at YWAM Myrtle Beach and YWAM Worldwide is a life of Service and Faith- Trusting God to provide where He guides.  Many of our staff meet their financial needs by partnering with friends and churches who support their ministry. In some areas, our staff work in other businesses for financial, practical or ministry reasons.

Every YWAM worker, including the founder, Loren Cunningham, raises enough funds to meet his or her own financial needs. For most people in YWAM, these funds come from friends, family and churches who contribute financially. Other YWAMers rely on their own savings, part-time jobs, foreign employment, small businesses or even–in the case of some of our older staff, pension income.

If you have recently joined YWAM and would like to begin raising financial support, or if you have been a YWAMer for many years and would like to strengthen your support team, we suggest that you find someone on your YWAM team who will agree to assist you as you raise support. Ask him or her to pray for you and hold you accountable to your support raising goals.
