The Best Secret In YWAM

The Gleanings Miracle, by Dr. Steve Witmer, is an inspiring journey of Gleanings for the Hungry, born out of deep compassion for the hungry.

What begins with a friendship with Wally Wenge-his all-encompassing mission fueled by a heartfelt commitment to helping people experiencing poverty-exposes the readers to encounters with Cambodian refugees and, eventually, the concept of gleaning surplus food from orchards and converting it into dehydrated self-stable product to nourish millions or individuals.

The book captures the humble beginnings of Gleanings in California’s Central Valley, where Wally and his wife, Norma, worked diligently to turn discarded fruit into life- nourishing the hungry. With unwavering support from volunteers and divine provision, Gleanings became a thriving operation that processes millions of pounds of food annually.

Indeed, Gleanings has had a phenomenal impact on missions, from local efforts to international distributions, including disaster relief following the Asian Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. Tender testimonies show how the ministry has met people’s immediate need for food and nurtured their spirits, woven into every chapter.

Ultimately, YWAM’s best-kept secret, the GLEANING MIRACLE, invites readers to see God’s faithfulness and encourages them to reflect on his love in their communities.

This book is an uplifting narrative that honors a legacy of compassion and underscores the profound difference one dedicated mission can make: join Dr. Witmer on this journey of faith, service, and hope.
