YWAM Personal Prayer Diary for 2010 Available Now

I got an e-mail this week saying that the new 2010 YWAM Personal Prayer Diary is now available from YWAM Publishing.

The Youth With A Mission Prayer Diary  and Daily Planner has been published for the last 30-years. It’s goal is to help Christians to journal their prayer times and Bible reading, organize their schedules, and help them to pray for the nations.

In addition to the standard daily planner parts of the diary there are also:

  • World Maps and country statistics
  • Bible reading plan to help you read the entire bible in a year
  • Illustrations and information about people groups from around the world
  • Monthly, weekly and daily prayer targets
  • and much more …

Right now the prayer diary is available for $10.99 ($6.00 of the regular price) direct from YWAM Publishing. You can order it in four different colours, and in a few different versions (bound, in a loose leaf binder or just the loose leaf pages). There are also discounts available for volume purchases.

Visit the YWAM Publishing site to find out more and order your prayer diary here.

YWAM Ministry in Winnipeg Canada Changes Direction

The Dusty Cover used bookstore has closed it’s doors after operating in Winnipeg, Canada’s West End after operating for the last 18-months.

I’ve been following the adventures of Jamie Arpin-Ricci for the last few years at his blog and over on Twitter. It’s been fun to see The Dust Cover go from concept to reality, and I was a bit sad to hear of it shutting it’s doors. As a non-profit business it was a success, but the trouble was getting enough volunteers to staff the store.

The road has certainly not ended for Jamie and the YWAM team in Winnipeg. They have other plans to continue their ministry into the community there.

You can read more about the Dusty Cover, future ministry plans to help with housing for low income families and about the Little Flowers Community here.

YWAM Swaziland Becomes Official

After more than 2-years of work YWAM Swaziland has finally become an official Swaziland organisation. This will give the ministry there a lot more freedom in how they operate in the nation.

Around the same time God has also opened the doors for the staff of Youth With a Mission Swaziland to bring themselves closer together on the same property. This helps to build community and reduce costs, which will allow the ministry to grow further in what God’s calling them to.

30-Days of Prayer for the Muslim World Begins Next Week

August 22 marks the start of Ramadan, and the beginning of the 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World.

Beginning in 1992 as a YWAM prayer movement to pray for the Muslim World “The 30 Days” movement has moved beyond YWAM and now involves hundreds of thousands of Christians from around the world.

The 30-Days International Chairman states that, “The “30 Days” movement emphasizes God’s love for Muslims. We encourage all believers in the Messiah to cultivate a spirit of humility, love, respect and service toward Muslims. Jesus died for them.”

There is a prayer guide developed every year for the 30-Days of Prayer. This year it is a 52-page book that is available in 42 different languages. The booklet includes information about Muslim people from around the world and helps to educate the readers about the Muslim World.

You can read more about the 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World, and find out how to get the prayer booklets, here.
