Think Inside the Box

This is really cool. YWAM’s latest ship, the YWAM Liberty, is capable of transporting and delivering shipping containers. The ship itself is being fitted out for medical relief work, and already YWAM locations around the world are working at building out containers to meet various needs in Papua New Guinea.

Two of the projects that I have found in the last week for this are YWAM Grimerud, which is transforming two shipping containers into a set of dental clinics, and YWAM Ships Kona, which is building out a container as a mobile pharmacy …

First Container - Think Inside The Box

I have also included the video of the YWAM Grimerud container in the show notes, but seeing as the tour was conducted in Norwegian, I’m not going to play you the audio now.

The Bucket Ministry

It is estimated that 5000 children worldwide die every day because of drinking dirty water, 884 million people don’t have access to safe water, as much as 80% of illnesses in developing countries are linked to poor water and sanitation, and in many countries hours every day can be dedicated to the collecting water.

The Bucket Ministry was birthed out of seeing the need for clean water in villages on the Amazon River, and has grown to serve people in developing nations around the world …

Many YWAM locations have been partnering with The Bucket Ministry and you can read more on their web-site thebuckeministry.org.

Upcoming Podcast Course

A few years ago the idea of a course teaching people in YWAM how to Podcast was discussed.  A podcast is a fantastic way to both promote your ministry, and to be a ministry in itself. A podcast can benefit your location by:

  • Connecting with people in your local community
  • Communicating to your supporters and past staff and students

You can do many things with a podcast, including:

  • Reach a global audience
  • Make the teaching from your location available
  • Tell the stories of your ministry, staff, and students
  • Raise support and prayer for your location
  • more …

For the last eight months I have been looking at the idea of running a podcast course for YWAM and am planning to run our first online training group in September of this year.

I have been in discussions with Dave Jackson, who runs the School of Podcasting, about how we can work together to train people in YWAM to podcast. Dave Jackson has been podcasting since April 2005, and has a wealth of information that he has built up into a fantastic training program that there is no way I could match in quality or in expertise…

The School of Podcasting is a paid membership site, and Dave has agreed to give us a special discount just for YWAM.

The idea is that we will all register as a group and work through the different courses / topics together to produce and launch a podcast. The Podcast can be for your personal ministry, for your location’s ministry, or for any of the seven sphere’s of society that God calls us into.

In addition to The School of Podcasting content, we will also meet online as a group to encourage one another, discuss our progress, work through our challenges, and help each other out. I’m also working to get other input from some of our YWAM elders and leaders about communication and missions.

If participating in this is something that interests you then please let me know by visiting the web-site, ywampodcast.com/course and filling out the contact form on the bottom of the page.
