Fwd: YWAM Southern Africa

I thought I might forward on this newsletter about just a handful of the works that YWAM is doing in Southern Africa. Blessings! Jim **************** YWAM SOUTHTHERN AFRICA NEWS – 001   I am taken aback by the reach, the influence, and the expanse of it all – so many people, so many ministries so many hearts and lives being touched and being changed. This one is all over big, as it is wide - and you and I are a part of it!                                                                         Hello, my name is Christabel Lwiindi. I am a member of the Support and Service Team (SST) for the Youth With a Mission National Leadership Team. It is an initiative spear-headed by Stefaan, the National Director. Its purpose is to serve and support all the different bases within the region of Southern Africa . My role in the team is specifically communication – as in linking the different YWAM bases through exchanging of information. My prayer is that through this information exchange, our bases will be more attuned to each other thereby, know how to support and pray for each other in all ways possible.   As part of my portfolio I recently travelled on a tour of a total of six different YWAM bases. On them, I interacted and interfaced with YWAM staff and students, at times going out with them to their outreach stations. One after the other, I saw that YWAM Southern Africa was so much more than what I had known until now. I realized that you and I fellow YWAMer, are all a part of something bigger than ourselves.   Some of the ways YWAM is reaching Southern Africa base by base   Durban   YWAM Durban's Dignity Centre serves needy individuals and families who find themselves in challenging situations. Situations such as un-planned pregnancies, HIV/Aids infected and affected, women, children and families in crisis, counseling as well s mother and child after-birth care. The Dignity centre empowers them so their dignity may be restored.   Bethlehem   Sewing ministry that changes lives – single ladies with children are given skill that brings them income thereby changing lives, impacting their homes and communities.   Kruger Park   A home is so much more than four walls and a roof – it is a place to belong. YWAM Kruger Park 's Ten thousand homes is a movement of people committed to bringing hope and homes to orphans and vulnerable children of sub-Saharan Africa .   Johannesburg   Joseph Project's reach to the community in the inner city of Johannesburg is worth noticing. They champion young people, and grow them to take up roles as leaders.   This is just a peek-preview of what YWAM is doing in and around Southern Africa . From the Communications Desk of YWAM Southern Africa NLT, I am appealing for NEWS or anything of interest from your individual bases. I will further out it in the Newsletter such as this one which will be sent to everyone.   Thanks Christabel Communications Desk YWAM NLT
