YWAM

Youth With A Mission.....

I know I've mentioned YWAM a time or two. It's a Christian organization with an emphasis on missions and equipping (mainly young, thus 'Youth') people to go out into the world and do missions work. The introductory course that anyone who wants to advance in any way in YWAM is the Discipleship Training School (DTS). They have a whole university program where you can graduate with a legitimate degree in certain fields.

That's who I've been staying and working with while here in Jaipur. I did my DTS with them way back in 99 in Melbourne, Australia. One group here in Jaipur is from Perth, Australia and another group who stayed for two nights was from Romania. There are YWAM bases located worldwide.

I didn't realize how much I missed the YWAM lifestyle until recently. I got so used to being alone and isolated, I forgot how much fun it is to live in a community of like-minded people. But the most amazing part of YWAM is the diversity it offers. Tuesday night when everyone was here, there were 11 countries represented and almost as many languages spoken.

After the BBQ on Tuesday, we had a spontaneous time of worship and prayer and seeing the different nationalities and hearing the different languages being used during prayer was breathtaking. It was like a movie trailer for heaven. Just a peek, a glimpse, a tease, a fraction of the idea of what heaven will really be like. With every nation, tongue and tribe worshiping and praising our amazing God. It left me speechless and breathless. I can't wait to see what the real thing is like!!
