Stories:
Devotion
Feedback from Matthew who said that he appreciated hearing the devotion on a previous episode of the podcast, so here is another one, this time from Richard Blake from YWAM Perth …
That devotion actually came from some of the content that will be looked at on the YWAM Perth Transformation School that starts in October of this year, 2013.
The Transformation Schools is meant to equip students with practical worldview tools to see cities transformed. You can read more about the school on the YWAM Perth web-site, ywamperth.org.au.
Update from YWAM Dehradun on Lakhimpur (Uttar Pradesh) Floods
The survey teams from YWAM Dehradun have returned from Lakhimpur after assessing the effects of the flood.
The floods that hit the area have completely flooded out most of the farmland and the crops in the area. Although many of the people still have their homes, they are without clean water, food, and electricity. There is also significant health needs in the area.
YWAM Dehradun is looking at ways that they can bring health care, food, clean water, and solar powered lamps into the area. Unfortunately there is not much expected from the government and YWAM is looking for other ministries and churches to partner with.

YWAM Ships Australia Support Local PNG Health Workers
In addition to all the work that YWAM Ships Australia is doing to help locals with dental and optical needs, one of the other things that they are doing is helping the local health workers.
There is a great story on the YWAM Ships Australia web-site about how they were able to help a local health care worker in the village of Kopi, in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea. The health worker there is the only health care worker in a 15-mile radius, and she plays the roles of paramedic, doctor, nurse, and transport coordinator.
YWAM Ships Australia was able to set up a Primary Health Care clinic in Kopi to help her with support and training. She was able to learn a lot from the team, and also taught the team members a few things.

New House Donated to YWAM Herrnhut
YWAM Herrnhut in Germany was recently blessed with the donation of a house to help with their staff and student accommodation needs.
The staff are hard at work preparing the house for the new arrivals of students in September. Overall the house was in great condition, but of the apartments in the house was previously occupied by a horder and it smelled “worse than any dumpster on a hot summer day”!
With over 200 students arriving in a few months the new house doesn’t completely solve their housing needs, but it goes a long way in helping them find a long term solution …

Devine Appointments
Usually when we on our way to outreach we can’t wait until we get there and can finally start “ministry”. During our travels though we really must not forget that there may be opportunities and devine appointments on the way …
A recent School of Evangelism student with YWAM Skien had an experience like that and shared it in their journal:
On the boat to Denmark yesterday we noticed a blind man, and sat down and talked with him. We asked if we could pray for him and the conversation evolved to Jesus. He said many times that he wasn’t perfect but he also said he wanted to give his life to God. He kept saying ‘I want to do that!” I held his hand and led him home to Jesus. Hallelujah! This was a divine appointment!
