For the last four years I have been working with some YWAM team members that I have never actually met. Thankfully that is set to finally change this week …
Bryan Bishop, the person who oversees my projects with YWAM Global Communications, is visiting for three days.

I am currently reading his latest book, Boundless: What Global Expressions of Faith Teach Us about Following Jesus.

Boundless tells us some compelling ways that faith and spirituality can be expressed in ways that are more relevant and applicable to everyday life and relationships. Although the book focuses on “non-traditional” expressions of faith, there is still much that can be applied to our own faith.
I would like to ask for your prayers this week that our meetings would be fruitful and beneficial to the ministry that God us involved with …
