A film made by a YWAM Film Making and Photography student about two kids coming to terms with post-genocide Rwanda in 1994 will be released in US theatres next month. The film was widely acclaimed when shown at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007.
The film was shot in only 11 days in 2006 while the director, Isaac Chung, was on a YWAM missions trip to Uganda. The film cast at risk kids who were a part of a YWAM run soccer camp in Rwanda and the crew was the other YWAM students on the school.
YWAM Russia has been forging ahead with developing their web-site and communications. Recently some YWAM staff from around the worlds largest nation gathered together to discuss web-site development, strategy and different challenges they have faced with their work so far on the Internet.
They are keen for your feedback on their work so far. You can leave them comments here.
The International YWAMer is the official eZine of Youth With A Mission. In the last year it has been changed from a printed magazine to a web-based eZine. If you involved with Youth With A Mission in any way it is well worth while subscribing to the magazine.

September 7 – 12, 2009 will see the next YWAM University of the Nations (UofN) workshop run in four different locations. The workshop will run in the Ukraine, Switzerland, Egypt and South Africa. The workshop is being targeted “For Such A Time As This” and is meant for every YWAMer to hear what God is saying to the mission for this season, to hang out with others and learn more about how to disciple nations.
The last time the University of the Nations Workshop was run in multiple locations using GENESIS was in 2001 when I lead the GENESIS team in Nairobi, Kenya. It was an amazing time of bringing the mission together in a way that had not been done before.
