[TW: Sexual Abuse, Racism, Antisemitism] We look at Youth With a Mission, the international ministry started in 1960 by Loren Cunningham, who also came up with what we call the "Seven Mountain Mandate" with Bill Bright, whose Campus Crusade for Christ sold land to a Christian Identity group that planned a version of the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1983. YWAM is also an organization beset with financial and sexual scandals, like a number of evangelical organizations.
