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 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.
Starting April 29th YWAM Turner Valley in Alberta, Canada is offering a one week “OneStory” seminar, open to anyone in YWAM Canada (or beyond) who want to learn more about how to communicate God’s Word to oral people groups. The goals of the seminar are to help the participants understand better how oral communicators think and learn, understanding their worldview and gaining knowledge of cultural considerations.
The OneStory seminar is a part of the call2all strategy to raise the churches effectiveness in evangelism and missions.
You can find out more about the YWAM OneStory seminar here.
Contact the Turner Valley YWAM base here if you are interested in participating here.
