- YWAM Ships is running a fun little contest at the moment. If you are living in the Townsville region and are between the ages of 11 – 18 then you need to have a look at the contest. You need to create a five minute or less video of you making a “spectacle” out of yourself. Check out the web-site from the link in the show notes.
- YWAM International Prayer Day
- http://prayerday.org/
- Two visions
- Ministries birthed before they have been fully formed and prayed into. Leads to still-born ministries.
- Our inner life is much smaller than the vision that God has given us as a ministry. We need to rely more and accept more from God to be able to fulfil what God has called us to.

- In a partnership with Kids Against Hunger YWAM in Minneapolis is putting together 100,000 packaged meals to Haiti. Their long term goal is to deliver half a million meals and up till now they have sent off more than 36,000 meals.
- Because YWAM is staffed by all volunteers the project is running very lean and they are able to make each meal for only 23 cents each. All the money for this project comes from donations.
- The US Navy and Coast Guard are delivering the meals at no cost for YWAM or for Kids Against Hunger.
