Darlene Cunningham helped co-found the international missions movement, Youth With A Mission, an ever-expanding global missions movement which has reached into every nation. She is also the International Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Nations (UofN). Darlene is eagerly sought as a speaker worldwide because she is recognized as a woman of faith and wisdom who hears from God. She is uniquely qualified and experienced to give leadership to those within Youth With A Mission because she understands the lifestyle, pressures and joys of the Mission from an inside perspective. Whatever the context, she constantly points the hearer to God’s faithfulness in every situation, and to His great grace.

In 1973 Al and Carolyn founded YWAM Slavic Ministries to initiate evangelism and discipleship in Eastern Europe. This year marks 53 years that they have ministered among the Slavic peoples of the world pioneering many ministries in the nations scattered across Eastern Europe. These days you might find Al and Carolyn in the Caucasus Mountains, in a village on the Tundra far above Arctic Russia, or in establishing ministries to trafficked girls in Moldova, as they continue to pioneer new works, something that remains very close to their hearts.
