The outreach teams have returned from the September MAD DTS, and we've found our base has nearly doubled in size! Things have certainly picked up here at YWAM, and there is hardly a quiet corner all through the base. What a blessing to get to know all these new faces and hear their stories of how God has worked through them in growing the kingdom in the countries they've traveled to! This is getting me all the more pumped up to go to Japan in a few months.
Our speaker is this week is going through and lightly dissecting the whole Bible with us. We've split off into teams of four or five and have been given a section of the Bible to act out in a skit, starting from Genesis, going all the way through Revelation! It's so fun to see how creative telling the story of the Bible can be, and how interactive. This is such a great tool for evangelizing in the world, as it becomes engaging, entertaining and meaningful at the same time.

MAD DTS on Brisbane base is buzzing with anticipation of being on the road for the next 3 weeks! Week one we'll be helping out at Easter Fest, which is a large Christian music festival in Toowoomba, Australia. We'll have a massive YWAM tent and be helping set up the festival, camp out, and do several activities during. The following week, we'll be going to Byron Bay to study and do some outreach. The third week is what we call the Pass It On tour, where we are given a baton and literally run from town to town in Australia, passing on the word of God to each town, then passing it over to another country where they will do the same thing. During this week we'll also have outreaches in these towns. I'm excited to find out everything that is planned through all this, and to see how God grows, stretches and bonds us all as a team and to be a part of watching His kingdom grow in Australia through this.
I cherish your prayers in these areas:
- Health. Many of us have been coming down with sickness this week, so prayers for speedy recovery and that nothing else strikes us during out three week treck!
- Energy. Several of us are really starting to be drained of the energy juice! Pray that God is our energy source and re-fills our cup.
- Openness. Openness of mind and heart to where the Spirit is leading us, as well as the hearts of those who we will be reaching out to.
Many blessings!
