Why Converge?
Converge Fellowships are customizable internships and outreaches for university students and young adults. Converge Fellowships allow participants to collaborate in designing their serving/learning project based on their skill set and individual calling.
Mission & Vision
We are responding to Jesus’ command to “Go, make disciples of all nations.” Matt. 28:19
Values
Every YWAM Converge participant, volunteer, partner, and staff member is challenged to engage the following values, including the following significant topics from 2 Peter 1:4-8.
History
The Student Centre was birthed in prayer by the Word of the Lord, over many years with many words of encouragement, including a personal exhortation to start the Centre from YWAM’s founder, Loren Cunningham.
Originally named the UofN Student Mobilization Centre, we were commissioned by the Board of Regents of the University of the Nations, YWAM’s global university, in September 1997 in Seoul, South Korea. The name, UofN Student Mobilization Centre of Youth With A Mission, was registered with the IRS and in the Commonwealth of Virginia in January 1998. We are registered to operate in the State of New Jersey since 2013.
What is YWAM Student Centre?
The Centre is a network, not a place. We are a University Ministries Circle of YWAM International. We are a YWAM staff team of certified coordinators on five continents. We are part of YWAM’s Campus Ministries International and we have trained hundreds of YWAM campus ministries staff, host partners, and volunteers.
We are dedicated to Knowing God and Making Him Known in Nations through Vocations.
YWAM Converge is the staff team and programs operating out of Haven House, near Stockton University in Galloway Township, NJ. We are registered with the IRS as UofN Student Mobilization Centre of Youth With A Mission.
