YWAM Cambridge has now closed

In May 2023, the trustees and members of YWAM Cambridge came to the unified decision to close the charity and cease operations by the end of August. This decision was the conclusion of a year-long discernment process during which YWAM Cambridge didn’t run any training schools. A key verse for us in the process has been John 12:24:

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

Although we are yet to see the fulfilment of many of our dreams, we trust that whatever has been sown in faith, hope and love will remain and continue to bear fruit in Cambridge and beyond.

We are grateful for all those who have partnered with us in prayer, service and action over our 15 years of ministry in this city. And we’re so thankful to God for all that He has done in and through us. We have seen over 100 young adults pass through our training programmes and have welcomed many more here on short-term outreach teams. We trust that each of these has grown in their love and knowledge of God and that they have left better equipped to play their part in the Great Commission.

The question of whether YWAM Cambridge will be resurrected at some point remains open. Many of us sense that there could be a new expression of YWAM in Cambridge in the future, but this will likely be quite different to what has gone before.
