Marine Reach Ship s/y Next Wave will Tour Sicily, Italy in May to July 2010

1 Comment

On the request of several local churches in Sicily, Italy the s/y Next Wave, a Marine Reach YWAM Training Vessel, will be carrying out an evangelistic tour of all nine states in Sicily. The tour will be happening from the 27th of May to around the 15th of July 2010.

The tour will also be part of helping to re-establish YWAM Italy. Some of the events will be televised in Italy and it is hoped that it will encourage young people in Italy to find out more about YWAM and to look at participating in a YWAM DTS (Discipleship Training School).

As part of the evangelistic tour YWAM Marine Reach is looking for individuals as well as YWAM  DTS outreach teams to participate in this outreach opportunity.

You can find out more about the outreach opportunity and the YWAM Next Wave Sicily Tour here.

YWAM Australia Collecting Donated Glasses for Papua New Guinea

1 Comment

In Papua New Guinea (PNG) over half a million people can have their eye sight restored simply by receiving glasses. While there is definitely need for surgery for some in PNG, most people suffering from impaired vision in the country can be helped by a donated pair of glasses.

Youth With A Mission will be touring Australia this year to raise finances and awareness of the new YWAM Australia Medical Ship, the Pacific Link, and the work that they will be doing in PNG. While on tour they will also be collecting donations of used spectacles for distribution in Papau New Guinea.

You can find out how to donate your used glasses at the YWAM Ship web-site here.

Leave a comment

In an interesting partnership Youth With a Mission in Haiti will be helping to distribute emergency shelter to people affected by the earthquake in Haiti.

Esbenshade’s Garden Centre & Greenhouses is putting together accommodation for over 1000 homeless Haitians that will be shipped to Haiti in the coming weeks. YWAM in Haiti will be receiving and assisting with the construction of the huts when they arrive in Haiti. The huts are 14″ x 16″ and cost about $300 each, plus the cost to transport them to Haiti.

You can read more about the emergency huts, and how they will be distributed in Haiti here.

YWAM House in St. Petersburg Russia Burns Down

Leave a comment

Yesterday saw the tragic loss of the house that has been a hub of ministry in St. Petersburg for the last number of years. The YWAM house has not only been a blessing to the YWAMers working their, but also to the kids, babushkas and other churches and organisations that they have worked with over the years.

No one was hurt in the fire, even though when the fire on the roof started a kids club ministry was being held inside. The fire department arrived 40 minutes after the call was put in, but by then it was too late to save the house.

God provided the house miraculously for the ministry that God had there. The Youth With A Mission team is confident that God will provide a new place for ministry. The team is very grateful that no one was hurt and that God still has more for them there.

They have three prayer requests during this time:

  1. Pray for strength and unity as a team
  2. Pray that God would speak and that they would have open hearts to hear
  3. Pray that something beautiful would be birthed out of the ashes

You can read more about the fire and the YWAM team here.

International YWAMer Launches Audio Podcast

Leave a comment

This month’s (December 2009) International YWAMer is now available in an audio podcast version as well as the e-mail and on-line version.

At the moment we are limited to an English only version of the International YWAMer Podcast. The written version of the International YWAMer is available in English, French, Spanish, Korean, Portuguese, Indonesian (Bahasa) and Russian, so we are hoping to make audio versions available also in those languages as we find fellow podcasters and translators to partner with.

You can read the latest International YWAMer, well as listen to and download the audio version from here.

I’d love any feedback that you have on it, please feel free to post them in the comments below.

I started podcasting in YWAM in mid-2003 with a video news update for our local YWAM Centre in Australia and we launched the audio version in 2005.
