Happy Easter
Easter has been a busy time for us as we had a special Easter program at our English House Ministry on the Friday night. The following morning (Saturday), we worked alongside other churches at a local hospital. It was great seeing how the program from different church groups flowed with each other. It was also good to have church members with us to follow up folk. After our program, we then went to different floors to give out tracts with eggs that had scripture verses on them. There is a great need for more volunteer workers and churches to be involved in Hospital Ministry.
Happy Mother’s Day
Appreciation for our mothers is very important. I often make an effort to call home and hear how my parents are, and also to pray, encourage and bless them. Let’s remember, appreciate, comfort and bless our mothers on Mother’s day. A mother is the first to rise and last to go sleep. She is all-attentive and all-knowing, willing to sacrifice herself for her family. Let’s appreciate them.
Proverbs 31 beautifully describes the wise woman who fears the Lord (v30).
“20 Her hands are stretched out to the poor; yes, she is open-handed to those who are in need.21 She has no fear of the snow for her family, for all those in her house are clothed in scarlet.
25 Strength and self-respect are her clothing; she is facing the future with a smile.
26 Her mouth is open to give out wisdom, and the law of mercy is on her tongue.
27 She gives attention to the ways of her family, she does not take her food without working for it.
28 Her children get up and give her honour (call her blessed-KJV), and her husband gives her praise, saying,
29 Unnumbered women have done well, but you are better than all of them.
30 Fair looks are a deceit, and a beautiful form is of no value; but a woman who has the fear of the Lord is to be praised.
31 Give her credit for what her hands have made: let her be praised by her works in the public place.”
Our YWAM team performed dances & a skit for the Mother’s Day program at a Gospel fair in Jhongli on Saturday May 2nd.
Training
I mentioned last time that we’re presently watching a DVD series on YWAM’s DNA. I must say, it has been a great reminder of how YWAM started, why we do things the way we do and for me personally, learning new things that I hadn’t previously known since becoming staff at our base. I am finding it awesome to see our team bonding together in a new way. It’s helping us to be on the same page. It’s bringing us back to a basic foundation in God and seeing how God intends to use every YWAMer. The testimonies of how God has used many people in others lives in all nations have been a great encouragement.
We are also doing team building activities on Fridays and seeing how God is drawing us together to be more transparent with one another. For me personally, it is a process of working through past visions of how things have been done and how God is changing that view to be more godly, to move in His Spirit.
