The War for Candy

Hello from Senegal! Our team has already spent half of our outreach. The sun is shining, the people are warm, and we are learning!

After we flew into Dakar, we spent time at the YWAM base in Gorom, and after that at a ministry house of women and girls, and are currently at the YWAM base at Niakhar. Our ministry times have consisted of mini day camps for kids, house visits to pray and share the gospel, leading church services, and doing support work for the bases like watering the gardens, cleaning the buildings. It’s been… Read more »


We All Went to Prison…

Art and evangelism are the main focuses of this DTS so we like to evangelize in all sorts of different ways. These past two weeks, we evangelized by going to two prisons. We split our team into two groups; one group went to a men and women’s prison and the other group went to the women’s ward of a different prison. Here are the stories Sarah and Amanda have from their experiences at the prisons.

Sarah:

Looking around [the prison], I could see people just like me, imperfect and imprisoned by sin. Maybe I… Read more »


The King, Kids, and Treasure Hunts

We as a team have grown so close together. God has been doing amazing things, and we all have the common mission of inspiring others with the gospel. Sharing the Lord’s love and blessings with others was exactly what all nine of us girls intended, as we loaded up for a weekend in the countryside. As a team, we embarked toward King’s Kids (related to Youth With A Mission) ready to help lead a kids camp. None of us were ready for the plethora of blessings we were about to receive in return.

Africa, A Dream Realised

Hello everyone! It’s Kyle reporting all the way from Senegal! First of all, I want to start by saying we are all safe and sound. Despite bouts of diarrhea, a few migraines, and fevers; we are all fine.

From the very beginning, it was clear that the enemy doesn’t want us to be here. At the airport in Lyon, Arthur – one of the team members – was held up at check-in as the airline demanded that he present a visa to be allowed on the plane. We were certain that he doesn’t need a visa… Read more »


Destination Lyon!

Saturday, we partied the start of the Discipleship Training School 2016!

Thank you for praying that we would find a home for our school!

We have moved in and our excited to have a brand new house (for once) that we will be renting in Décines (20 minutes from Lyon). We found the house 4 days before the arrival of the students (last minute, like every year)… The students this year come from the Untied States, Canada, the Ivory Coast, Germany, Hong Kong, Switzerland and of… Read more »


The Preparation Continues!

What a week we had! Leadership training, evangelization, etc. This week, we had the opportunity to have Grace from YWAM Biarritz each morning to teach some principles of leadership. Grace was really a blessing for the base especially as this year, there are three new staff members (including me) for the Discipleship Training School. Personally, I appreciated the biblical principles of leadership that she taught us as well as the little tips that she gave. And of course, we loved her stories of her experiences in leadership as a DTS staff. I huge thank you to you, Grace!… Read more »
