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.
