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.
Last month saw YWAM Internationally joining together to pray for the growing ship ministry in Youth With A Mission. After Mercy Ships was released as their own ministry YWAM continued their own ship ministry under the banner of Marine Reach.

Faith Week is a week where Missionaries through Youth With A Mission are sent alone or with a partner for a surprise no location with no planning. They rely completely on hearing God’s voice to hear what they are to do there, and how they are to survive. The participants in Faith Week are deposited somewhere in the world with no plans, no accommodation and only their ability to hear God’s voice to survive where they are sent.
YWAM Missionaries Colin and Hayley had an exciting time in Bucharest, Romania where they were dropped off at the Piata Romana, the busiest intersection in the middle of Bucharest. You can read about their adventure on Faith Week here.
The most recent issue of the International YWAMer is available now available over on their web-site.
This issue discusses how the current economic recession is effecting the Churches ability to engage in missions around the world. You can also find some practical tips to YWAMers about how to survive the current financial downturn. Lynn Green, YWAM’s International Chairman, has a great article about the call for YWAMers to live in the tradition of the Levites.
You can read the entire issues here, and while you are there I would highly recommend that you subscribe to receive every new issue if you haven’t done so already.
