I want to start this month’s news with an appology to Lidia, and to those of you who joined us live last night. I had some issues with OBS and trying a new multi-stream service. In trying to get that to work I somehow crashed out the audio inputs, and we streamed and recorded an entire episode without any of Lidia’s audio.
Lidia added a lot to this episode, and I am sorry that you guys don’t get to see or hear what she contributed to the episode. I got to hear all of it, and you guys really did miss out. If I manage to grovel enough, Lidia will join us next month after I fix the audio inputs.

Circle 18
YWAM Rosaio was actually the site of a recent gathering of Circle 18, which is the international ministry in Youth With A Mission that Bill and I work with to produce this YWAM News Show. From that gathering they put together this video, that talks a bit more about the ministry.
The reason why the ministry is called “Circle 18” is because the ministry is based on YWAM’s 18th foundational value, which is “Communicate with Integrity”
“YWAM affirms that everything exists because God communicates. Therefor, YWAM is committed to truthful, accurate, timely and relevant communication. We believe good communication is essential for strong relationships, healthy families and communities, and effective ministry.”
You can find out more about the ministry over at circle18.org.

YWAM Lyon Street Outreach
YWAM Lyon regularly heads out for street evangelism and send in this report from their latest open air events …
“These past two evenings of open airs were incredible! It was such a joy partnering once again with trEd to proclaim Jesus in the heart of Place Carnot in Lyon. Led by the Holy Spirit, we experienced powerful moments of rap, dance, worship, Gospel preaching, personal testimonies, and flag warfare. Between performances, we connected with people who had stopped to watch as well as those relaxing on the nearby benches.
We shared meaningful conversations, prayed with people, handed out Christian literature, had thoughtful discussions about faith, and, most importantly, saw several people open their hearts to Christ. Even without massive crowds, the peaceful atmosphere created space for genuine, unhurried encounters while spiritually taking back territory. Thank you to everyone who prayed, served, and stood with us. All glory to God!”

Cimarron, Colorado Fire Update
Last month on our social media accounts we shared about the forest fires that were threatening the YWAM location at Cimarron, Colorado. We received this update from them just a few days ago …
“We’re grateful to share a positive update regarding the Gold Mountain Fire and the base.
The evacuation zone has changed, and the base is now in an area under voluntary evacuation rather than mandatory evacuation. While everyone remains alert and prepared should conditions change, we are so thankful that things are looking to be improving. And we are so thankful that the base is still safe!
Even though we’re able to return to the base, SST will still be hosted at the new location. With the wildfire situation still unpredictable, we don’t want to risk having to evacuate staff and students if conditions change again. We’ve also already committed to hosting SST at the new location, and we’re looking forward to having SST there! But we are rejoicing that we will get to take the students up to see the base at some point!
Thank you so much for your continued prayers!”
