Sorry for the long delay since our last post. We're planning to revamp our blog and get more regular with our postings...so watch this space!
At the moment, we're gearing up for our annual GO Camp...Global Opportunities. This is a 1-week missions camp followed by a 2-week outreach aimed at 18-25 year-olds who have a heart for God and want to learn more about missions. We introduce topics common to our Discipleship Training Schools, like Hearing the Voice of God, the Father Heart of God, Evangelism, and Missions, to name a few.
It's an action-packed week filled with teachings, dramas, intercession, team building activities, campfires, etc.
Last year our team went to Sudan for their outreach and helped a local village church make bricks for a new church building. Not only were they doing something meaningful and appreciated by the local community, but they got to play in the mud!!
This year our outreach will be to northern Uganda to a place called Pader where a current YWAM ministry is working with the internally displaced people (IDPs). The area has long suffered under the brutal terror of the Lord's Resistance Army, and many people have lived in these IDP camps for years. The area is now peaceful, but the trauma lingers on in the hearts of many. We are thankful for the opportunity to minister love and hope to these people who have suffered so much.
We'll keep you posted on how it all goes!
Let's Go!!

We love your blog and hope the idea will spread to more YWAM teams! If you are able to write a more detailed story about any of the events you profile here, especially with interviews from people who've been affected by your work, then do send them to us: GO communication!!
