From the first Discipleship Training School (DTS) pioneered in Sept. of 1978 we have seen remarkable growth, development of ministries and many voluntary full-time workers who have been trained, equipped and sent out to pioneer. We have sent out teams to over 60 countries, resulting in over 20 new ministries being pioneered world wide.  From it's very beginning, God has called YWAM Salem to be a training and sending base, which continues to be what we do best.  Our adopted unreached nations are North Korea, Sudan, Myanmar, Azerbaijan, and China.
