Riots Update from YWAM Haiti

Haiti has seen ongoing protests and riots for months. Youth With A Mission has numerous operating centres in Haiti and we have this update from YWAM Saint Marc …

Watch this video on YouTube.
YWAM in Haiti is continuing their work in there, including working to preach God’s good new throughout the nation, cleaning up areas in their cities, delivering care packages around their communities, and more. They are partnering with other local churches and ministries, and are working with media outlets to communicate God’s message to the Haitians …

The best place to get the latest updates about the situation in Haiti and YWAM’s work there is on their Facebook page.

M/V Pacific Hope moves to Grand Cay

The YWAM Ship M/V Pacific Hope has moved to Grand Car after spending over a month in Freeport. The ship has moved to Grand Cay to help with construction and rebuilding.

As we have reported in episode 118 and 119 of the YWAM News Show, while in Freeport the Pacific Hope has been able to feed thousands of survivors and distributed water, supplies, and assisted in rebuilding the community. In Grand Cay the ship will join the team that is already there on the ground. There is a lot to be done in the devastated communities and for the survivors and families in the Bahamas.

They have been able to bring roofing supplies, lumber, peel and stick, and much more to the island of Grand Cay. They have finished the nursing quarters and two other roofs with peel and stick, and are continuing to do more. Pacific Hope is helping with receiving, coordinating, logistics, building, and much more.

The team on the ship need more help. They are looking for carpenters, electricians, anyone with building or construction backgrounds, general volunteers to just help with construction and garbage removal.

You can find out more about how you can help on the M/V Pacific Hope Facebook page, or if you don’t have time to help you can donate on the GoFundMe page.

YWAM Trentino

YWAM Trentino in Italy is finding itself in quite a bind at the moment. On October 21 the YWAM team serving in Trentino needed to move out of their current place.

They have had many opportunities come up while they have been trying to find a new place, but every one has ended up closed off. They are continuing to look, and pursue opportunities, and are asking that we would join them in prayer.

I’m sure they would love to hear that you are praying for them and you do that on their Facebook page, which is where they first asked for our prayer …

Challenges Reaching Out to Indigenous Australians

As we reach out to Indigenous Australians there are some unique challenges that Peter Brownhill will share with us …

Youth With A Mission(YWAM) Perth reaches out to regional communities in Western Australia and works in small, under-resourced Aboriginal communities in the outback. You can find out more about these opportunities on their web-site at ywamperth.org.au.

YWAM Milano Community Centre

YWAM Milano is in Milan, Italy and has been running a community center there. One of the things that they do is running kitchen classes for teens in difficulties.

The boys can learn how to cook and then find a job and at the same time remember their homes, their countries, the meals their mums were doing for them.

YWAM Milano was also able to distribute 550 books last week with amazing stories for kids from 5 to 11.

YWAM Team Helps Restore Sight in PNG

A visiting YWAM Team comprising of eye specialists and nurses helped local eye specialists at the Mt Hagen hospital in Western Highlands, Papua New Guinea to restore the sight of 113 patients last week. The program took over nine days to complete, all the surgeries were a success, and all the patients returned to their villages with their sight restored.

Most of the patients were elderly from the Western Highlands. The patients had cataracts removed, were operated on for pterygiums, and also treated for band keratopathy.

The YWAM team was commended for the teamwork with the Western Highlands Health Authority, and the YWAM team is exploring other locations in PNG where they can continue to be of assistance.

You can find out more through The National Newspaper of PNG web-site here.

YWAM Athi River Medical Missions

In July Youth With A Mission Athi River in Kenya hosted a team from SoulTeam as they reached out to the people of Machakos and Nyeri counties.

The specialised team of nurses and optometrists served more than 200 people in the communities they reached, giving free eye checks and glasses according to the individual’s needs.

Training

Children at Risk School

This month Youth With A Mission prayed for Children at Risk for our global prayer day. YWAM is engaged in many ministries around the world working with Children at Risk, and one of the ways that you could start to get involved in ministry with Children at Risk.

YWAM Cebu in the Philippines is running the Children at Risk school starting on April 6, 2020.

The Children at Risk School is for Christians who are passionate about reaching out to children at risk, including street children, refugee children, kids from broken families, orphans, children with HIV/AIDS, and other children with different needs and challenges in their lives.

It is a full-time school with a 3-month lecture phase. The teachings and methods are developed in such a way that students can put them into practice straight away. They will be able to create their own detailed ministry project plan or personal development plan to help them further their ministry goals in a practical way.

After those first 3 months in the classroom, some schools offer an outreach of 3 months with cross-cultural experiences, while other schools offer one or two periods of a 3 to 6-month practicum. Both options, outreach and practicum, are offered to help the student put into practice the lessons learned during the lecture phase.

You can find out more about the school on the YWAM Cebu web-site, ywamcebu.org.

School of Intercessory Prayer (SOIP)

YWAM Chico’s School of Intercessory Prayer will be starting up in April next year.

The School of Intercessory Prayer is a 12-week course designed for DTS/CDTS graduates. In this school you will venture deeper in your relationship with God through hearing His voice in new ways and experiencing His heart for the unreached and broken we’ll be praying for. It consists of a lecture phase, followed by an outreach phase.

Here is the testimony of one of the past students of the school …
