Why Not Women Loren Cunningham David Hamilton“Why Not Women?” – Book Talk

In the book “Why Not Women” by David J. Hamilton and Loren Cunningham they explore the commonly held beliefs about what the Bible says about the role of women in the church today. They ask the question, “Are our views of women’s roles biblical or is the church simply the last bastion of gender discrimination?”.

YWAM Relief Assists Bomb Victims in Pakistan

YWAM Pakistan is active in helping many of the bombing victims in Peshawar, Pakistan…

The situation we encountered in Peshawar was more heartbreaking than we could  ever have imagined.

Peshawar Pakistan Dombing DeceasedIn hospitals we found children in constant pain from multiple abdominal injuries and young people in their prime who had lost limbs, one person alone had lost all four and also sustained abdominal injuries. So many adults were almost paralysed by shock and recently widowed mothers were discovering there was no-one anywhere in the world whom they could depend upon to care for their children or provide for them in the future. It was hard to take it all in …

… we visited a hospital and then spent time going to the homes, meeting survivors, praying with families and hearing their stories. Many of the injured had been discharged before they were ready. We would find them lying in their ramshackle homes with festering wounds or dirty bandages. “People give us food aid but the quality is so bad we cannot eat it. We believe the donors’ money is being stolen”, they told us.

We met numerous families in financial need. They urgently needed to pay the rent, buy food, clothes, medicines or other daily supplies. We discretely left funds with such families according to their needs and set up a group of people in our local network to continue the distribution as they judge appropriate and according to our criteria.

YWAM Amazon Reach new Location

MV Ipipiri YWAM Medical ShipYWAM Ships Australia in Bid for Larger Ship

YWAM Ships Australia has currently entered into a contract for a new ship, the M/V Ipipir.

The current Ship, the M/V Pacific Link, which has been used for the last four years to deliver over 167,000 medical, training, and community development outputs in Papua New Guinea (PNG) will retire in 2015.

The new ship could allow for an increase in effectiveness for YWAM Ships Australia as the ship would be able to be on station in Papua New Guinea for up to 11-months a year, and could facilitate the launching of smaller vessels to reach some extremely isolated areas of PNG.

You can find out more about YWAM Ships Australia on their web-site, www.ywamships.org.au.
