The Reason Why…
200 Years In The Making
2021 marks the 200th birthday of the founder of the YMCA, George Williams.
It is a wonderful moment to look back upon his story, his passion, and the vision that launched the YMCA - a movement that is unparalleled in history. This video begins to tell the story of its beginning and the stories of people that are living on mission all over the world.
“Dr. David Newman is arguably the most educated person in the world on the history and mission of the YMCA. He shares with us the aims and values of our YMCA founder and also gives us practical insight on how to further them in contemporary YMCA contexts. ”
Joshua Heaston
Director of Christian Mission - YMCA of Greater Indianapolis
