Got to Love YWAM

Well tomorrow is the 3 week mark of this adventure! This has definitely been a time of learning and fun. My second week of class a woman named Jill Bills came to teach us about hearing the voice of God and intercession. It was wonderful. I realized that although I have been around intercession a lot I haven’t had any formal teaching on it. It is crazy to think that God is always speaking and he is just waiting for us to stop and listen. The power of intercession is incredible, and I was really blown away by the importance of it. The God of the universe has given us dominion on the earth and he wants us to ask him to move. Jill’s parents Jim and Joy Dawson were very influential in the beginning days of YWAM so it was awesome to get to hear from Jill.

 This last week Ezra taught on Lordship and Missions. Ezra is great. He really went in to depth on how to make God Lord of all areas of life. It was very good and convicting. The second half of the week he spoke on missions and the 10/40 window. It is crazy that the largest concentration of unreached people in the world have the fewest missionaries. In some Muslim nations there is about 1 missionary for every 1 million people. The harvest is indeed plentiful but the workers are so few. Life on earth is so short it seems crazy to not devote my life to the advancement of God’s kingdom. 

  "People who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waste our lives as missionaries. They forget that they too are expending their lives ... and when the bubble has burst, they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted." - Nate Saint
