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.

One… Read more »

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 »

« But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear Him » - Psalms 103 : 17 (New Living Translation)

Our YWAM base was the place to be last week.

First of all, we had the opportunity to have a week of teaching about the Bible in our running DTS! Our speaker came from another French YWAM base, YWAM Champagne. He led us into a reflection about the Scriptures, studying one book after another. We got to study some pretty simple questions about the Bible: do we have to obey everything that is written in it? Why do we read it? Does God present a difference in His character when we read about Him in the Old Testament… Read more »


LET’S BRING HOPE TO THE STREETS

The whole YWAM Lyon team is excited to announce that the next Street Art School will start March 2016. We are thrilled to share with you our brand new video, which captures some of our Summer 2015 adventures. It was a time of mission in our beloved France and a time when God showed his faithfulness and power. Let’s not forget: the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

A CALL THAT CHANGES THE WORLD Street Art School is about learning to create with God and searching excellence in our artistic expressions. Art is not… Read more »
