Along the way he recounts YWAM's earliest days in Switzerland, months of sustained intercession for revival, and his own vivid, first-hand account of a three-week youth revival breaking out in a small Iowa town in 1970 — sparked, he later learned, by the decades of hidden prayer of one bedridden intercessor. Chapters: ▶️ (00:00:00) — Origins: Lauren Cunningham and the New Zealand Conference Lynn traces YWAM's founding back to a pivotal 1969 conference in New Zealand, where Loren Cunningham met revivalist Duncan Campbell and other key intercessors, received the prompting to start a training school in Switzerland, and set in motion the school Lynn himself would join later that year. ▶️ (00:13:27) — Building the First School Around Sustained Prayer for Revival The early Lausanne training school takes shape — weeks of daily intercession, teaching from Duncan Campbell and other revival-focused speakers, and Lynn's own experience of climbing the hills above the school at night to pray fervently for revival, all setting a template that has stayed with him for 55 years. ▶️ (00:22:34) — The Decision to Go Back, and a Small Town Called Eagle Grove A personal, high-stakes account of nearly abandoning his missionary calling after returning home, until a phone call from Loren redirects him to a small Iowa town — where a modest youth night in a bare church living room unexpectedly breaks open into weeping, confession, and repentance among a dozen teenagers. ▶️ (00:30:24) — Three Weeks of Revival, and the Hidden Intercessor Behind It What began as one meeting multiplies into three weeks of packed-out gatherings, culminating in over a thousand young people turning out and 125 committing their lives to Christ — and Lynn's later discovery, 40 years on, that a bedridden, multiple-sclerosis-afflicted intercessor named Mabel White had been praying for those exact teenagers by name for years. • • ** This is a personal podcast and reflects my thoughts and convictions.
