Jesus linked the Great Commission to miraculous demonstrations of God’s goodness and power.
Physical healing, deliverance from demonic oppression, prophetic insight, and other works of the Spirit are essential to completing the unfinished task of world evangelization.
(Mark 16:15-20; Acts 1:8)
By the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God… I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ.
Rom 15:19
“Every single teaching of SSM impacted my life and my understanding deeply ... The move of God was so evident when we were praying for the sick, or sharing gospel in the street or even in the time of worship. If I could I would do the school again just to be in those classes“
Subarna Thibideau
“SSM was amazing! God showed me that He is here to heal and bring freedom, and He wants to do it through us. I grew in intimacy with God and gained a greater understanding of who I am and what I’m called to. And, I was challenged and discipled by inspirational leaders who live this out.”

One Deep River
This missionary-centered seminar was pioneered by Nathan & Cindi Wagner from YWAM Mendocino to invigorate and strengthen missionaries in frontier missions. SSM is currently offered in Mendocino CA, Colorado Springs CO, and Kelowna BC.
At YWAM, we believe in God’s supernatural intervention, and our history is filled with miraculous stories of guidance and provision. The challenges we face call for a supernatural lifestyle and anointing like never before.
This 2nd level school combines many streams of ministry in one deep river. We consider streams especially focused on equipping, inspiring, and activating believers to live a purpose-driven life of faith. With a proven history and active fruit, we include training from Bethel Church, Freedom River Outreach, House of Prayer, Healing Rooms, Disciple a City, We Ignite Nations, Equipped to Love, Loving on Purpose, and others.
SSM brought me more than I could ever think of or imagine:
It brought me challenges – resulting in personal and spiritual growth.
It brought me connections – teaching me more about the concept of love.
It brought me Jesus in new and deeper ways – stirring up an enthusiasm inside of me to share Jesus and His supernatural ways with the rest of the world.

“I only came for my relationship with Jesus, but because of the way Christina and Graeme poured truth, grace, and Holy Spirit into my life, my wife, and my ministry, I will never be the same!”

What to Expect
SSM brings supernatural ministry into focus under the lens of the Great Commission.
You will learn directly from seasoned teachers who are experiencing the power of God in their ministries. Daily class sessions will be rich in biblical teaching, pragmatic tools, experimentation, and practice.
Our schedule includes regular times of worship, prayer, and intercession. We’ll explore diverse Christian disciplines, worship, and creative expressions of adoration while remaining sustained by the Spirit, embracing His Presence with joy.
During the SSM, you’ll apply what you learn in local outreaches. Afterward, you can join an “ignite” team for a 3-week supernatural ministry outreach designed to further inspire the broader body of Christ.

Myra Daly2024-04-18I attended YWAM SSM (School of Supernatural Ministry) in Kelowna Jan 2024. It was an amazing school and I would highly recommend it to every YWAM student. It was worth flying from Uk to Canada for the school. The teaching and speakers were excellent! I have been ignited and equipped to walk daily in a supernatural lifestyle, seeking His presence. Graeme and Chris Morris are excellent leaders, it was wonderful to see their walk with the Lord and their relationship with the Holy Spirit. They depend on the Holy Spirit in making decisions, including the team. I definitely wish I had done this School years ago. The team was amazing and passionate in living a Kingdom lifestyle, followed by signs and wonders. I felt loved, cared and activated in my faith. I witnessed many breakthroughs in salvations, healings (both inner and physical healings, and deliverance. It was a time of seeing God’s goodness and power, seeing the fullness of the Gospel being manifest. The 3 week outreach was amazing to be able to put into practice what we had been learning in the school. I wouldn’t have wanted to miss this experience. The school also gave me time to be refreshed and renewed, having lots of opportunities to teach and minister. It was one of the best decisions of my life to attend. Thank you, Lord, and all who made this school possible.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Douglas Horst2024-04-15Spent 3 months with Graeme and Chris in the School of Supernatural Missions from January to March of 2024. It was a wonderful, life-changing experience that equipped me to step out boldly in regards to praying for people for healing, sharing the gospel and also enabling me to see what good things God has put in people (Original Design). We were privileged to have the SSM outreach team in our city of Hamilton the last week of March 2024. It was a wonderful, encouraging, energizing, IGNITE time for our church which was seeking to be more involved with supernatural missions. Graeme and Chris love Jesus with great passion and emphasize again and again the importance of spending time in His Presence and enabling others to have an encounter with the living God.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Kaitlyn B2024-04-11I had such an amazing experience with this intentional, loving, and dedicated team. The SSM taught me so many new things that are life changing in my walk with the Lord. Graeme and Christina, as well as the rest of their team, are organized, passionate, and truly anointed! Couldn’t ask for a better leadership team. I would recommend this school to anyone hoping to grow and learn more about how God wants to use us to bring heaven to earth. Not only this, but have so much fun in the process!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

wendy arelis2022-03-26I have known Chris and Graeme Morris since meeting them as students at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding in 2007. I have been serving with them in ministry schools since then and have seen their integrity, vision, willingness to partner with Holy Spirit and desire to see the Kingdom of God come on earth. They have always had a passion to lead schools and continue to follow the leading of the Lord. I have also served in a YWAM school and can highly affirm it as a proven place of ministry where we can learn and grow in our Christian walk. I pray and bless this couple who sacrificially follow Jesus and disciple others.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Kristen Teeple2022-03-25I had the privilege of serving under Chris & Graeme (the base directors) for two years. They are people of integrity and love who empower those around them to be all that God has created and called them to be. Their commitment to God and their pursuit of His Kingdom is both challenging and inspiring and creates an atmosphere of growth and freedom.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Josh Francis2022-03-25I had a great experience with YWAM Kelowna. The base leaders Chris and Graeme helped me work through some hard questions I had about God, strengthen my theology, and even set me up with another YWAM base to do an outreach in Nepal. I'm moving on to do the SSM program with them now! I recommend their programs for anyone who is seeking God and is open to a holy spirit lead teaching.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Mae Clowe2022-03-25Have been a student under the Directors of YWAM Kelowna in a couple of their schools of ministry and am very familiar with their character and integrity. They are both fierce lovers of Jesus and long to see others grow and mature in their walk with Jesus as well. They have challenged me in many ways, including spiritually and relationally and kept me accountable and have been open for feedback and accountability themselves. It is a privilege to walk with these gifted teachers and kingdom-minded lovers of Jesus!
