It can be good or bad. It lasts forever. We were created for it: Relationship! Today, we helped run a youth retreat for teens in the barrio on that topic. We came up with most of the schedule and the lesson plans. We saw some familiar faces from our VBS and soccer games. We played games, taught, and shared lessons …
When I gave her the Bible, she kissed it and said, “Thank you!”
Today was our first day with the VBS and Bible distribution. On our way down the hill back to the church, we called out at the different houses that we were having a VBS for kids 4-8 years old. Kids came out of their homes and followed us the rest of the way there — some stopping at their cousins' …
I Feel Like I’m In Another World
On our schedule for today was an outside evangelism/kids’ service in the community. We continued practicing our African dance and Spanish kids’ praise songs under the pavilion. As we practiced, it began to sprinkle. And then pour. We practiced until the sound of the rain driving onto the tin roofs drowned out our music. Because it was raining so hard, …

Yesterday, we had teaching on how to hear God's voice and why it's important that we listen to God and pray for other people and nations — because we can …
Getting ready for Nicaragua
It is almost the end of our first day here in Madison…and it was a busy one. The girls all seem to be bonding well. (We have a team of seven — all girls). After eating sloppy joes together last night, we headed to our lounge and played some get-to-know you games. We ended the evening with a round of …
Teens bring the Good News to a notorious Haitian village
from reports compiled by Emma, James, Stephine St Marc’s District Five stretched before us, dotted with small villages of cinderblock houses with thatched roofs. Dust hung in the air while the intense sun baked the earth. District Five is notorious in St Marc for its voodoo practices. It’s a rough, impoverished community. According to YWAM Haiti director Terry Snow, the …
