A Missionary Kid Paul joked that he has been in YWAM for 41 years; spoiler, he is 41 years old. Growing up a missionary kid in Tyler, Texas he always had a relationship with Jesus. When he was 1 ½ years old he was smuggling Bibles into a closed nation! At 9 years old he went on a King’s Kids …
Phase 10 Champion
ESL Partners Today during our ESL (English as a Second Language) school at YWAM (JOCUM in Portuguese acronyms) Goiânia we split up into our one on ones and played phase 10. Neither my partner Gabriel nor myself could shuffle. We settled on our own way of shuffling where he took half of the deck and I took half the deck. …
Did You Say ‘Grand Canyon’?
Phos House Evangelism Day – Pt 2 “A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of having a time to do evangelism with some of my housemates. Together, we decided to walk along the lake shore trail to see if the Lord would lead us to anyone. As we were on our way, we walked past two African American men …
The Tanzania Diary: Devos With Chickens
A FRESH START The smell of mold is what first struck me as we walked into the concrete room with ten foot high walls which did NOT reach the rafters looming above, home to their own tiny residents. We had been given this “house” as our home for the next two weeks. My thoughts began swirling with anxiety over my …
Mirësevini në Albania (Welcome to Albania)!
Albania is a place of beauty. It has gorgeous mountains and beautiful beaches with stunning sunsets. The people are resilient, relationship-oriented, and really value family. Unfortunately, there are often better work opportunities outside of Albania which cause many Albanians to want to move, but I believe the country has so much potential… One day my teammate Hannah and I were …
Met By Love: Prayer Walk in Virginia Leads to This
“Well, what do we do now?” I asked Bethany and Joyce. I felt a bit like a lost puppy as we stood in the middle of the McDonald’s parking lot in Alexandria, Virginia. Our Outreach leaders had just dropped us off here for a day of street evangelism. “Today, you three are going to do ministry by yourselves,” Emily told …
A Day of Prayer & Repentance: DTS Joins Franklin Grahams March in Washington DC
Our first day of Outreach in Washington, D.C., was unforgettable! We stepped up to the Lincoln Memorial just before noon. A vast crowd surrounded me — nearly 50,000 people all coming together for the same purpose. Together we would pray. We would repent. And we would call out for God to heal our land. “Hi, I’m Franklin Graham,” a man’s voice …
Hope in a Landfill
Our tuk-tuk rumbled down the dirt path kicking up trails of garbage behind us. As far as the eye could see, there was trash in every direction. But although the landfill looked hopeless, I felt a profound sense of peace that I couldn’t explain. We rolled to a stop and climbed out of our vehicles with bags of fresh bread …
Surfing with Street Kids
Whenever people spoke of surfing, I would picture the iconic images of a long-haired blonde leaping into the ocean. But today, that image was forever changed. Today, Andreas, Carla, José, and Jesús joined us at the beach. They are street kids from a nearby colonia here in Mazatlán. And although they have faced many challenges, you would never guess it …
Coffee, Sidewalk Chalk, and Abrazos Gratis: Park Ministry in Mexico
When our contact suggested that we do coffee ministry in a park in downtown Morelia, we had no idea what to expect. But as we prayed, God gave us many ideas about what we could do. So, we set out with several YWAM Morelia staff members, chalk, coffee, face paint, signs that said “abrazos gratis!” (free hugs!) and our hearts …
