A New YWAM President

At YWAM's 40th anniversary celebration in New Zealand (Hui 2000), in September, Frank Naea was inaugurated as the new YWAM president. Elaborate Pacific-Island pageantry celebrated both his Maori / Samoan ethnic heritage, and the significant participation of Two-Thirds World staff in YWAM's worldwide ministry (over 40%). Frank replaced Brazil-based Jim Stier, who now serves the mission and YWAM's Global Leadership Team as chairperson. The GLT comprises a cross-section of about 30 to 40 YWAM leaders who meet annually.
