YWAM Knowledge Base Sprint Meetings Coming Soon

The Youth With A Mission Knowledge Base already has over 450 different documents geared to help YWAMers to work better together and to not continually be reinventing the wheel. In two weeks time they are planning to hold a “sprint” meetings in Brussels to grow the knowledge base even more. To participate in the meetings you don’t even have to be there, you can participate from anywhere in the world.

YWAMKB.net has been described as an encyclopaedia for YWAM and a great resource for all things to do with starting a ministry in YWAM, running a conference, finding conference notes and more. I’ve been trying to encourage others to add their manuals and documents for YWAM Ministry to the site for years, and the sprint meetings can be a great time to look at doing that.

Some of the latest articles on the site are:

  • Learn how to start a YWAM Ship ministry
  • Quality Leadership in YWAM
  • A discussion on “What is a YWAM base?”

You can read more about the sprint meetings here, and check out the YWAM Knowledge Base here.

New YWAM Book is All About Sex and Money

The guys over at photogenX have recently published a book called “Sex + Money: A Global Search for Human Worth”. The book is about the global slave trade and was put together by a team of YWAM students from eight different nations. They travelled through 20 different nations and collected the photographs and stories from the trip and made it into this book.

You can read more about the project and find out how to get a copy of “Sex + Money: A Global Search for Human Worth” here.

Discussion about Personal Finance and Support Raising in YWAM

There is a great discussion going on about personal support raising in YWAM and what it means to live by faith in YWAM. Lynn Green started the discussion with an article that he wrote for the last International YWAMer. The article was reposted on the YWAM Facebook Page.

The original article talks about the call that YWAMers have to a Levital calling and to live off the tithes and gifts of the other tribes of Israel.

You can join in with the conversation over on the page here.

YWAM Youth Street Highlighted at the Cowboys Football Game

Youth Street in Townsville and Mt Isa was featured at the recent North Queensland Cowboys Rugby League game that was played in Townsville. Over 40 free passes to Youth Street were handed out on the night to many of the young people who attended and the Youth Street commercial was shown on the jumbo screen during the game.

Youth Street is a program for youth from 12 – 17 to give them a fun and safe place to hang out, play and be mentored run by Youth With A Mission in Australia and around the world.

Urgent Prayer Request for YWAM Australia National Director

Just got this e-mail sent to me this morning asking for prayer for Steve Aherne, the National Director of Youth With A Mission Australia:

Steve would like to request some urgent prayer for his health. He is being taken to the hospital today due to losing body heat from the extreme psoriasis breakout on his body. He is experiencing pain over his entire body and would greatly appreciate immediate prayer coverage as much as possible.

I consider myself lucky to call Steve a good friend and am praying for a quick recovery for him. He has battled with chronic health troubles ever since I’ve know him and would love to see some healing come to his body.

Please send up a prayer for Steve Aherne when you get a chance.
