“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?”.
You can pick up a copy of the book at YWAM Publishing, www.ywampodcast.com/ywampublishing. While you are there you can also check out the new 2014 YWAM Personal Prayer Diary and Personal Planner that was just released. It looks like a great resource …
YWAM Voices
We recently launched a new email magazine called YWAM Voices. This is a replacement for the International YWAMer which we have not published since April 2012.
The idea behind the new magazine is to highlight significant messages from throughout the YWAM movement. The first message is one from Al Akimov about the prophetic voice, and it includes some great stories from Al about his experiences in YWAM.

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.
In 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.

Object Conference in Hamburg, Germany
In Germany there are around 400,000 women in prostitution, the majority are from Eastern Europe and many are victims of human trafficking. This November, at the OBJECT Conference we’re taking a stand against sexual exploitation.
Speakers from across Europe will set you up with realistic expectations, practiced methods and biblical incentive to do ministry within the sex industry. We’ll also look at the root causes of the complex injustice of human trafficking and you will be encouraged to strategise with others to practically and spiritually impact your nation.
Germany is absolutely pivotal in the anti-trafficking movement within Europe and its time for a generation to rise up in prayer, worship and action!
The conference is being help in Hamburg, Germany November 8-9th 2013.

YWAM Amazon Reach new Location
YWAM 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.
