Dear All,

Summer time for YWAM has always meant action! It might be hot and sticky (we hope!) but it is when most young people are available to spread the good news about Jesus. And YWAM has always been about doing that!

This summer will be a busy one for us in Brussels. Patrick and Team Contrast will host many young people coming to Belgium for outreach. Ninety-three of them at the last count! There are several teams coming from Europe and one large team from Korea. While other YWAM Belgium team members are taking young people from Belgium to other nations, Patrick and his team love hosting them here. And they have quite a wild time too.

Patrick told the story of a recent team that he hosted. They came from Skien in Norway (see http://www.ywamskien.com/?id=11627 for more) and were only here for a few days. Patrick suggested that they simply listen to God and then go where He sent them. So they then spent some time waiting quietly on God. Patrick saw an image of a young woman and described it for the rest of the team. Others heard God say where to go, with other details. They consulted a map and thought there was a particular street that they should go to.

So they went… and sure enough they found a young woman like the one Patrick had seen. They showed her the picture he had drawn. The team then talked and shared about how much God really loved her. I can’t imagine that she could not be amazed that there is a God who knows her that intimately! They took her into a local church and spent time praying with her as well

We were all quite stunned when Patrick told us this story and thrilled that God can make use of our availability. It encourages me to keep listening out for the quiet nudge from God to greet people and to speak with them.

Jesus came to seek and save the lost, can we open our ears a little more to hear what He is saying? I’d love to hear stories of your adventures of hearing God and how you responded to Him over the summer. Please send them in!

Teams create their own outreach as love leads the way!

YWAM Harpenden at the ELC!

Last week was very quiet at YWAM Harpenden as many of the staff decamped to YWAM’s training centre in West Sussex for a few days to attend the YWAM English Leaders Consultation (ELC).

This regular meeting was opened up to YWAM England staff from all ministries, to consider and pray about the future of YWAM England. Key items for discussion included how to better accommodate cultural diversity at our centres, and encourage the development of new leaders who will pioneer new teams in new locations.

YWAM Harpenden staff were enthused about this direction. Dan Snell, co-leader for YWAM Harpenden’s communications team loves the excitement and energy of new vision and says the event “challenged us to think about how we view young leaders and how we can create new opportunities.”

Anne Sloan, from the Marine Reach team says it was a highlight to spend time with other YWAMers and especially getting to know some of the young, emerging leaders. She says, “It’s good to talk about what young people are wrestling with and their new visions. I hope it will engage our young leaders at Harpenden to take up their roles within our community and lead us out in areas where we need to grow.

YWAM Harpenden base leaders, John and Suzi Peachey agree. “I am hoping we will be able to incorporate some of these ideas during our base ‘At Home Days,’” says Suzi. “I’d love to see teams at the Oval able to display a visual exhibit which expresses the elements of their dreams like some did at the ELC . And that this might result in a huge shift where new teams being sent out might become a reality.”

John adds, “I’m excited by the faith our emerging leaders have for pioneering new teams in cities! At YWAM Harpenden, we will be making more time for emerging leaders to share where they are on their journey, what their dreams and visions are and then helping connect them with the next steps.”

It is soooooo quiet in this house; the only sound to be heard right now is the humming of computers.
This week the number of people present at Eintrøa has dropped to half. Well; since four members of our staff are temporarily away for different reasons, we were only four here to begin with, but even so; there is truly a noticeable difference being only two instead of four.
On Tuesday Christian Brack, who has been a part of this base since 1997, packed his car, left Eintrøa and is now heading for new horizons. Today Iver, who has been working with us since last September, also packed his belongings into a car and left, with plans of attending a DTS after the summer.
It is sad to see good friends leave, but such is life and life does go on.
The other day we looked at a staff-picture from last October and if I don’t remember it wrong, we counted to 12 people on the picture. Ecclesiastes talks about different seasons, and this is obviously a season with less people, but we do pray and hope for another “people-season” to take over soon; a season with people coming instead of going.

This week has not only had its share of breaking up, but also of things breaking down. We were on our way down the hill heading for Lensvik the other day, when we suddenly heard a scraping sound from beneath the car. It turned out that the muffler had partly fallen down and we had to fix it temporarily in order to get the car to the garage. Yes, we keep learning new things whether we like it or not ;) The car is still driveable but sounds like a tractor, and will hopefully be repaired next week.

When that has been said, we should also mention that a lot of things actually have been fixed this past week also. We had former members of our staff; Oddmund and Christopher, here during the weekend and they both did a great job fixing computers and electrical problems. We are very grateful to friends who come and serve us like that!

Sometimes when there is so much maintenance that needs to be done which takes up SO much of our time and energy; it is easy to lose courage and wonder what we’re doing here, but then sometimes we suddenly get a reminder:
The other day we read the latest newsletter from the Hefley’s who once upon a time were students at Eintrøa and are now working with “Water For Life” (www.waterforlife.org), helping communities in need to develop systems for getting safe water and thus showing God’s love in a very practical way. Reading about the work that they’re involved in is certainly a great inspiration, and a reminder of that it is actually possible to make a difference on this planet. The newsletter also served as a reminder for us of why we are here at Eintrøa. The reason that we spend hours and hours on -at times tedious- jobs like mowing lawns, preparing beds, repairing things, cleaning houses, sorting out mistakes in the bookkeeping, changing anode rods etc. etc. is that we believe that Eintrøa is not done yet serving as a place through which people are equipped for life and ministry. We are here because we want to see His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.

In an exciting and solemn hour, Mike Murray - front man for Five Star Streets - hosted an intimate release of the band's latest album, Let Justice Sing.

The album, a passionate mix of experience and emotion put into song, captured the hearts of around 50 people who gathered to listen. The music's message is one of justice and redemption in the midst of the some very intense realities, which many of the listeners had encountered first hand on outreach in places like Thailand, Bali and Papua New Guinea.

It was a holy moment as those in attendance remembered the capacity that music has to influence and bring change and a hope rose in hearts. A spontaneous prayer emerged from the crowd for the many young people who will be affected and the women and children whose stories are told through song - a hope that maybe justice will have a voice.

Production of the album has been a story of joy and challenges for Mike and band members BJ Magee and Luke Haythorpe. The night was one of celebration as they - and many who helped - were congratulated on the wonderful success. Behind the scenes footage of the project and title track "Let Justice Sing" can be seen and heard at www.fivestarstreets.com.

The official release and subsequent tour through Australia, America and New Zeland will be held later this year.

Nos dias 05, 06 e 07 desse mês realizamos em nossa base o MMO –Mutirão Mundial de Oração por Crianças em Risco. Todos os ministérios de nossa base estavam envolvidos (King's Kids, Mission Adventures, Comunicação, Misericórdia, Treinamento e outros), também tivemos igrejas da cidade presentes em nossas reuniões.
Nossas reuniões foram na sexta a noite, sábado de manha e a noite, domingo de manha. Na sexta a noite: Começamos com os pedidos de oração baseado em Lc. 2:52, depois tivemos um tempo de louvor, e apos a ministração foi pela preletora Celminha, missionária da Jocum que trabalha em Guiné- Bissau. Depois da palavra dela tivemos um momento chamado "UM MUNDO DE ORAÇÕES" (Imprimimos um banner de um mapa com a medida 2x1,8 metros. E colocamos ele na frente, nas reuniões nos dividíamos em pequenos grupos para orarmos e os facilitadores tinham em suas mãos recados auto-adesivos, que escreviam aquilo que foi orado e davam para as pessoas colarem no banner, ao final tínhamos preenchido o MUNDO com orações), e então
terminamos o dia com essas orações. No sábado de manha: A programação foi a mesma da sexta a noite. No sábado a noite, a única diferença, foi que ao invés da preletora trazer uma ministração, assistimos 3 curtas do filme "Crianças Invisíveis". No domingo de manha a programação foi a mesma da sexta, e do sábado de manha, porém foi a palavra de encerramento.

A quantidade de pessoas foram: Sexta (noite): 27 pessoas. Sábado (manha): 12 pessoas. Sábado (noite): 15 pessoas. Domingo: 19 pessoas.

Foi um tempo intenso para a comunidade para vermos com mais clareza como é importante o
trabalho com crianças, e também que a criança em risco não é a criança pobre, uma criança pode ser pobre de bens materiais mas ter uma família muito rica em amor e afeto, esta não está em situação de risco. Por outro lado pode ter uma criança rica de bens materiais, mas em uma família extremamente pobre em relação ao amor, afeto, respeito.
