Mini biography
His father, Loren Cunningham, was a founder of conservative Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and the unaccredited University of the Nations, both institutions with a Christian evangelical focus.
David Cunningham’s University of the Nations Leadership Training School project “centered on his call to be a missionary to Hollywood. It was a plan to create an independent film company whereby he could both influence the Hollywood film industry and produce major motion pictures which would carry a biblical values based message.”
He started “The Film Institute” associated with the YWAM organization so
members can get into positions “within the film industry, not to give
them
jobs, but so that they can begin to impact and transform Hollywood from
the inside out.” The YWAM describes itself as “an international movement
of Christians” performing “evangelism, training and mercy ministry”
in 149
countries.
