Two Missionaries Murdered In Colorado

Two Youth With A Mission, YWAM missionaries were murdered in Colorado over the weekend----YWAM is an international movement of Christians that dedicate their lives presenting Jesus Christ to others.

A very good friend of mine is active with YWAM in Australia---I have a permanent link displayed for this fine organization. I have been personally touched by the kindness, compassion, good nature and sincerity of my Mate in Australia who I look forward in chatting with once a week. My friend continues to always encourage and challenges me and I am inspired by her love for others and personal devotion to her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Tiffany Johnson 26 from Minnesota and Phillip Crouse 24 from Alaska, lived at the Arvada Camp at the YWAM mountain campus in Golden, Colorado.

YWAM was founded in 1960 and now operates in more than 1,000 locations in 149 countries and teaches that the bible is the inspired word of God, that mankind is created in the image of God and that the only way for salvation is the free gift of Jesus Christ who became a living sacrificial lamb when He died on the cross at Cavalry.

The loss of these two innocent victims is a reminder of the sacrifices that each of the dedicated YWAM Disciples make daily in their ministry to others, their love for the Gospel, their devotion to God and His commandment, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15
