One of the most important questions for a YWAMer exploring business as mission is how they will relate to YWAM. The BAM Key Statements and Principles state that a MOU should be established between the business as mission ministry leader(s) and the YWAM leader(s) in order to clarify this relationship and to draw out communication on the important issues relating to business as mission projects.  See also YWAM FAQs.  Download now
