Hospitality Seminar
Serving the nations.
Training Overview

The time has come to send a fresh wave of biblical hospitality across the globe. Whether in our YWAM ministries, in our homes or the local church. Hospitality is an expression of God’s heart to His people and it is a biblical command. It opens doors and hearts that may never be opened otherwise and as we allow it be become a part of our lifestyle it will ultimately affect all aspects of society. As we create a welcoming atmosphere through hospitality we have the ability to draw in and minister to people from all walks of life.
“For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.”
Mark 9:41 King James Version (KJV)
