Paul, Rafael and Dani
School of Frontier Missions outreach team
One of the many blessings in YWAM is having visiting teams come and partner with our base for a season, but it is also hard to say good-bye to new friends who have joined our YWAM family.
Paul (South African), Rafael (Ghanaian) and Dani (Mexican) came up from South Africa on their School of Frontier Missions outreach. Right from the start they blended into our team and became part of us. They did various outreaches in the nearby community most of the time, but the last two weeks they went to Nyambiri-Busia, right in the northwest corner of Uganda on the borders of both Congo and Sudan, and reached out to the people of that place.
It wasn't an easy place to work. As is typical in remote places, there were challenges of poor hygiene and a lack of clean water. But the team found the local people to be very hospitable and welcoming. They visited 13 families, sharing the Good News and praying with the people.
They also ministered to the men at the local drinking spot.
While Dani and Paul were sick with malaria, Rafael kept the show on the road with a discipleship seminar for 56 people.
The guys did practical work as well...Dani helped pound the flour for lunch.
Paul spent a lot of time playing with the kids and showing them the love of Jesus.
And just as Jesus did, the team washed the feet of the local church members, who were grateful for the team's encouragement and support in the ministry.
We just want to say a big THANK YOU to Paul, Rafael and Dani, for all your hard work and commitment. May God bless you, and come back soon! We miss you!
