You remember it. The moment you believed God could use you to change the world. A DTS. An outreach. A worship session at 2am when the presence was so thick you couldn’t stand.
Life kept moving. A career. A family. A city. Seasons that looked nothing like the mission field.
But here’s what’s true: the people who went through YWAM never really leave. They carry the nations in their chest wherever they go. When they run into another YWAMer, you already know what they say: “I’m still a YWAMer.”
That’s the heart of The Reunion.
Three days of prayer, worship, and community in Kansas City, June 11, 12, and 13, 2026. John Dawson and the YWAM family, together in one room. And it’s completely free.
This is the family, back together, stepping into what’s next.
VOICES YOU KNOW. A FAMILY YOU BELONG TO
What happens here stays with you forever.

The story is still being written.
"Throughout the years, we have witnessed God’s faithfulness in incredible ways. What began as a step of faith became a life-changing adventure that continues to deepen our love for God and for people."

"My time at YWAM Kansas City during the Summer DTS of 2023 was one of the
Tony
most impactful seasons of my life. One of the things that
impacted me the most was the community. Being surrounded by people from
different places, many young people, all living with the same purpose
and desire to grow together, made the experience incredibly special."
