I Am A Missionary – Loren Cunningham

Loren Cunningham presented this video, “I Am A Missionary” to leaders at the recent University of the Nations Workshop in Mexico. Although I was not in attendance at the workshop I was extremely moved upon watching the video for the first time.

I AM A MISSIONARY

My favourite response was recorded by one of the people attending the conference:

When Loren presented this video to all the UofN leaders recently, we responded with a standing ovation. Many in that huge hall have faced tremendous difficulties, insurmountable odds, and some had even been imprisoned and interrogated… but every hand was raised in response to the call to missions.

You can find out more about the video over on ywam.org.

YWAM Flying Car – the Maverick Flying Car

Ray SiebringA few weeks ago I had the privilege of interviewing Raymond Siebring about the YWAM Flying Car, the Maverick. It was interesting talking with Raymond about the car and what they are doing with it. I learned a lot about the initiative that I had not known before, and I think you will as well:

The University of the Nations Workshop that was held in San Antonio Del Mar, Mexico finished up on the night of Saturday, 7 September, 2013. From the sounds of it the workshop was a fantastic event, with lots of great content and opportunities for networking…

October Justice Awareness – Steps of Justice

October Justice Awareness

Starting on Tuesday October 1 and going through Thursday October 31 Steps of Justice will be walking through what it looks like to take up the call of Jesus, “do Justice.” Through stories of people who have bravely answered Gods call, the October justice awareness month points to practical and biblical ways that we can be involved in bringing God’s justice into an unjust world.

YWAM Herrnhut First Night

YWAM Riga – Freedom61

In Europe it is estimated that more than 200,000 women and girls are trafficked out of Central and Eastern Europe each year! Most of those women and girls end up working as enslaved prostitutes.

Freedom61 is a ministry out of YWAM Riga in Latvia that is fighting Human Trafficking through:

  • Reaching out to the girls in prostitution on the street in Riga
  • Going out onto the streets to reach out to and challenge the men who are buying sex
  • Going to schools and orphanages to tell what Human Trafficking is, what the dangers are, and how girls can learn to protect themselves
  • Raise awareness of the problem of Human Trafficking by speaking at schools, churches, youth groups, and more …

In addition to awareness YWAM Riga also has a ministry at a cafe in a local Lutheran church, and an apartment where victims of human trafficking can come and learn English and even stay when they are ready to make the move out of prostitution.

Today we also had the privilege of furnishing an apartment for a lady who was able to leave her life of prostitution and now makes jewellery. She will be given her 4 yr old son back now that she has a home. So cool!

Freedom61 Outreach Opportunities

You can find out more about the ministry, what they are doing, and how you can get involved on their web-site, www.ywamriga.org/freedom61.php.
