Life on the YWAM base......

It is winter in the Boland and the rain is falling outside. The rain is needed  and every drop is welcome. Here at the YWAM base we are trusting God for more of his spiritual rain to be poured out on us daily (Eph 5:18).

We currently have two outreach teams visiting us. The one is from Korea and is being lead by one of our previous staff members that has gone back to Korea and is now working as a pastor of a church. He brought a group of the young people from his church to come and do an outreach here in South Afirca and they have been working in and around Worcester for the past week.They have been active on the farms and especially reaching out to the young people at the farm schools. We also have a team here from the Netherlands that will be working here for the next three weeks. They have a specific focus on working with the Kibbutz in Worcester but will also be reaching out to other areas of the local community.  (Kibbutz El-Shammah is a multi-purpose community centre run by a ywamer). 


Villiersdorp is one of our neighboring towns and last week a team from YWAM Worcester went there for a week of ministry, teaching and informing. Their focus was on drug abuse and healthy Godly families. They spoke to the children in their classes, during the school hall meetings and in the Hostels in the evenings. The testimony of a former Heroine addict that is now disabled after a drug overdose made a lasting impact and also brought hope as they see the transformation that Jesus brings. 


In closing I would like to tell you about our intercession outreach we had this week. Everyone present was encouraged to break up in smaller groups, hear from God and obey whatever God told them to do or where He told them to go. With great excitement and a little bit of fear the groups left the Glory Hall and went on their different assignments. Already we have heard some beautiful testimonies of how God ministered physical healing as well as emotional encouragement  and blessing to people in town. Tonight during our community meeting we will have a time of feedback and I look forward to hearing more stories of what God has done.

River Sounds

Being in the outdoors and enjoying Gods beautiful nature and listening to the sound of a river flowing is most probably one of the most relaxing things you can do. Today that is exactly what I did and enjoying the time with my family in the mountains was such a great pleasure that I decided to share a little bit of the experience with everyone. So relax and enjoy the sound of the running river and for a moment imagine yourself in the Du Toits Kloof Mountains sitting next to the river.
