We now need $1,500 to go on outreach with our team and are looking for 75 people who want to give $20 towards this!

Please get in touch if you can help! We leave on Dec 16th

What are you doing on outreach?

We are working with the YWAM ship ‘Next Wave‘ which does ministry throughout in the Mediterranean. The ship is currently docked on the coast of Spain building relationships with the local churches. We will fly to Barcelona and meet them there and are preparing a Christmas program for evangelism on Christmas Day.

We then sail to the South of France and focus our ministry there with the ship for 3 weeks.

Then we fly to the capital of Hungary, Budapest, where we will work with the YWAM campus and their evangelism efforts in the city and helping to set up a coffee bar and prayer room.

Today we started week 9 of the school! The students just had their busiest weekend with their main assignment due and studying for a test this morning, but they pulled through and on Friday we the staff are cooking them Indian food (thanks to our Indian staff Robin!) and have some fun planned for everyone!

God story: Update on Lilieth from Jamaica – through donations, all but $30 of her lecture phase fees have been paid!! 2 weeks ago she still owed $2,500 so this is a HUGE answer to prayer! It was amazing to see the amount reduce little by little as other student’s generosity and checks in the mail saw her fees come in so we didn’t have to send her home

Speaker Quote of the Week:

“Only God can reveal God. Our responsibility is to be alert, responsive, pure and biblical so that if we facilitate in worship we can connect people to God successfully so He can reveal Himself to them.”

Speaker Quote of the Week:

“In order to eliminate distraction we need to get so good at what we do with our instruments that it looks like we don’t even try (If we aren’t good we can get in the way, but it’s also just as much a distraction when we show off).”

- Sandy Hoffman

Ten Top Tips for Tight Teams:

1. Live the life
2. Worship warm
3. Lead and be led
4. Get out of the garage
5. Sing like a sandwich
6. Check the chart
7. Find the flow
8. Make the mod’
9. Let it breathe
10. Improvise

Teamwork: joint action by a group of people, in which each person subordinates his individual interest and opinion to the unity and efficiency of the group; coordinated effort.

The best leaders are the best followers. If you want to be a good leader go follow someone for a while.

Nicola: I saw this online today and REALLY want to make these!!!

Thank you for the responses to our newsletter and your encouragement as we lead our first school! Tomorrow we are officially half way through the lecture phase – time is flying!!

Tonight we had our 3rd song cafe where the students each performed an original song they wrote based off a bible verse. It’s amazing how each song is different even though the verse is the same! Even our non-musicians have been tremendous and written great songs – they are so courageous and inspiring! We have 2 more song cafes to look forward to.

As you know, we are trying to raise $2,500 to go on outreach on Dec 17th. We are leading the team to France and Hungary but we need your help to get there! Some friends of ours have offered to match up to $500 of donations so if we raise $500 it will be doubled instantly!! All donations are tax deductible. So far we haven’t had any other response but we are trying not to be discouraged as we know God’s plan is good and He will bring the money in!

It is so hard to ask for help but we barely receive enough monthly support to save for outreaches and as volunteers we need people to partner with us! We are planning to be in YWAM at least the next few years as we take over the Worship department here and see it grow and flourish! Please consider giving something, anything, towards our outreach, and if you’re able to give $10 or more monthly we could really use your support.

Thank you for your friendship and prayers. We pray for everyone on our newsletter list and love hearing about how God is moving in your lives and areas of the world.

Bless you this week

Speaker Quote of the Week:

“Deeds of service to other people are not worship to God;

Worship is only ever directed towards God – it is God-focused, not man-focused.”
