A team of about 35 YWAM Staff and Students from Youth With A Mission Tyler, Texas were part of a team of volunteers renovating a house in Abilene, Texas that is set to become a centre for neighbourhood outreach.
The was was originally deeded to the First United Methodist Church for their Good Shepherd Healing Ministries. The church is planning to use the house as a focal point of outreach into the neighbourhood. Once the house is completed they are planning to host what is essentially a block party for the neighbours to help get to know them. The house will host many ministry activities, including after-school activities for kids and possibly family events in the evenings.
They are hoping to open the house before the end of the year or earlier.
You can read more about the neighbourhood house and the YWAM involvement to get it restored here.
Are you still a functional ywam team in Abilene Texas.
We would love to connect. We moved to Abilene January 2022 after serving with Ywam Tyler for 30 years,
Blessings
Hi Barbara. The team that was in Abilene was visiting from Tyler, Texas, where there is still an active YWAM Centre. The closest YWAM Centre to Abilene, from what I can find, is in Dallas.
