Is That Really You, God? Available on the Kindle

Is That Really You, God?

Over 3 million copies of Loren Cunningham’s book “Is That Really You God” have sold since it was first published in 1984.

Like I wrote about in the the last story the book is available in nearly 100 languages in either hardcover or paperback version. I reckon that you can probably find a copy somewhere in nearly every YWAMers house.

“Is That Really You, God?” is now available in e-book format from Amazon! You can check it out on the Amazon web-site for only $6.99 for the Kindle. The nice thing about purchasing it for the Kindle is that you can not only read it on a Kindle, but the software is available for free for the PC, the iPhone, the iPod Touch, Blackberry, iPad and for Android.

Is That Really You God Hearing the Voice of God by Loren CunninghamOne of the foundational books of Youth With A Mission is “Is That Really You, God?: Hearing the Voice of God (by Loren Cunningham)”

The book explains the early history of YWAM, it’s founding and some of the stories from different people in the mission. The book is required reading for almost anyone doing a YWAM DTS. It’s an amazing history of God’s faithfulness and calling to Youth With A Mission and a book that I have read a few times now.

Is That Really You God has now been translated into 96 different languages. The latest translation that I have heard of was the Mongolian language and was completed in late 2006.

YWAM Colombia Responds to Massive Flooding

Leave a comment

I recently received this e-mail from YWAM Medellin about the recent flooding and how it’s affecting the nations. Looks like YWAM Medellin is responding to the crisis, and needs our help and prayers…

With this letter we want to share with our friends inside and out of the country, the emergency that the rainy season has caused in Colombia. There is massive flooding that has left thousands of people without food, housing and clothes. Hundreds have perished. Among the victims are 5 evangelical churches that were totally destroyed in the Ayapel & lower Cauca regions.

It is an alarming situation that many Colombian are living through and we want to make the Body of Christ aware of the need. We are receiving donations of non perishable food, portable stoves, clothing, blankets, tents, building materials, Bibles and cash donations to meet the need.

Please help us, help these brothers to find happiness this Christmas in the midst of difficult circumstances.

Director, YWAM Medellin

Australian YWAMers Establish New YWAM Ministry Centre in Canada

2 Comments

YWAMers from Australia have established a new ministry location in Canada.

It was built very quickly, over a matter of days, and blends in with the local landscape.

The ministry objectives and plans for the Australian YWAMers is still being established by the local staff. The YWAMers are saying that they are there for the long haul, but there are concerns though from the locals in Canada. One of them was overheard saying:

I know that they say they are here for the long term, but the way they built it looks to me like their ministry center will be gone by the time spring rolls around!

Young Australian YWAMers in CanadaApparently some of the locals are concerned about the YWAMers choice of building material; snow.

When approached about it the Australian YWAMer was surprised, responding, “What are you talking about? It’s everywhere, and I really can’t see it going away, this centre will be around for decades!”.

Again the Australian YWAMers were indignant in their answer stating, “We wear these things year round everywhere in Australia, including weddings! I’m not going to change just because of local tradition, I’m an Australian!”.

While the longevity of the building materials used for the new Youth With A Mission Ministry Centre in Canada is in doubt, the long-term future of the YWAMers in Canada is also still to be determined. In the mean time though they are plugging away at whatever it is God’s told them to do there…

YWAM Ambulance in Haiti Crashes while Transporting Cholera Patients

Leave a comment

We have confirmed reports that the YWAM Ambulance in Haiti was involved in an roll over accident while transporting cholera patients late last week.

According to updates on Twitter the ambulance crashed and was damaged, but thankfully no one was hurt. Those in the back of the ambulance reported that although the ambulance flipped, the passengers reported that it “felt like they rolled on pillows”.

Although initial reports said that the ambulance flipped and rolled over, those reports were incorrect. The people in Haiti who I spoke to said that there was no indication of a roll over, and the photos below seem to confirm that.

We reported previously about the YWAM Mercy Truck Ambulance being donated to YWAM Haiti after the devastating earthquake that hit the nation in January. Since the earthquake it has been working almost non stop delivering aid and running mobile clinics for the people in Haiti. Only a few days ago we got reports that the ambulance was running strong and saving lives.

When the ambulance was delivered back in February it was reportedly the only ambulance in the nation of Haiti. We can only hope and pray now that they are able to get the ambulance repaired and running again, especially in the wake of the current Cholera outbreak and the approaching Hurricane Thomas. The Haitian mechanics who have looked at the ambulance guess that the repairs will take three weeks, if it is repairable.

We received this statement from YWAM in Haiti after I contacted them to confirm the accident:

The ambulance came a few months after the earthquake and served in Port-au-Prince until emergencies died down. It was then brought to St. Marc to be a part of the New Foundations Clinic. Before it crashed, it brought to the hospital an estimated 40 cholera-hit people that were in critical condition. It also helped volunteers reach an unknown amount of cholera-hit people that were not sick enough to need medical evac.
