YWAM News Update


Posted on November 2, 2009 at 11:00am •YWAM News's blog

Hi everyone! Our DTS has been on outreach for two weeks now and we have already heard back from them some simply amazing stories! “Greetings from Team PNG! We’ve been doing lots of children’s programs in a village called Karta this week. Every day, around 70 kids have been showing up and we’ve been so well received. Many of the villagers are Christian here, but there’s always a cry for discipleship. We’re having a great time encouraging the kids and their families to go deeper in their faith.The team is getting along well and enjoying outreach so far. We have a nice place to stay here and we’ve all been excited to have showers everyday and clean laundry . . . Oh, the little blessings that we don’t take for granted here!One of the highlights from this last weekend was getting to visit the family of a 16-year-old boy that was accidentally killed in a drunken brawl last week. There’s been some unrest recently between the mountain clan and the coastal clan and the death of this boy is a very tender subject among the villagers. It’s the talk of the town right now, so to be able to go and minister to, and pray for, this boy’s family was a huge privilege.Later this week we hope to go to another nearby village called Mei. It should be a great adventure considering they have yet to send a YWAM team there until now. Please pray for continued health, ministry opportunities, and our trip to Mei.”
