In over 16 years of ministry I have worked to reach and serve all of those that God has placed in my path. The last three years have had me serving primarily online from Adelaide, Australia, where I have been able to see some exciting things come to fruition …

What Has Been Happening?

About a year ago I was able to tell you that we had delivered over 100,000 different audio programs around the world. Well, since then we have been able to deliver over another 59,000 programs! The programs include global missions news, as well as teaching from our Youth With A Mission (YWAM) staff and family.

There have been some great teaching, and exciting stories that we have been able to tell to the world. One big story that we were able to share recently involved one of our YWAM missionaries meeting an ISIS fighter in the Middle East! Their meeting, along with a family update, is explained in this video …

Some of the feedback that we have received about our ministry include messages like this:

Sound, biblical teaching under-girds these inspirational messages on the Great Commission.

I’m so glad for this podcast! It is important for me to hear about the spreading of the Gospel and a great encouragement. Thank you for the good work!

I continue to be encouraged that I am able to reach and influence so many people around the world.

Will You Partner Financially With Me?

Everyone in Youth With A Mission are full-time volunteers, required to raise our own financial support to meet our needs. For most of my time in missions I have been surviving and just scraping by financially. It has been a constant struggle, and one that is being highlighted to me as something we need to address.

To meet our financial needs and responsibilities moving forward I am needing to raise an additional $2400 per month. Would you consider taking one of the following slots to help meet this goal?

• 4 people at $250.00 per month
• 8 people at $100.00 per month
• 12 people at $50.00 per month

You can find out how to partner with me monthly, and how to make a one of donation towards our ongoing expenses, on my donation page.

Will You Pray?

Our family would greatly appreciate your prayer for our health and finances. At the moment our various health problems feel very all-consuming at times, and we would greatly appreciate your prayer for every member of our family.

Thank You

Help us to continue to distribute God’s message around the globe. Help us to continue to serve the nations through the use of online technology. Help me to mobilise and equip God’s workers into ministry….

Thank you …

Last year we had some great successes with our global communications team of about 25-people. We are a team from every continent, working from many different time zones, with unique skills and talents. Recently I received this update from our team’s project coordinator:

In 2014 we continued to develop YWAM’s website so that people looking for opportunities to get involved can do so easily and reliably.. We have responded to the many enquiries that come to our help desk each week, directing people to the places and information they require to take their next step in missions involvement. We have maintained our information database so that details about YWAM locations are as reliable as possible. We have kept YWAMers all around the world up-to-date with changes and developments within the mission, helping them understand the implications for those in their location. We have shared stories with an international audience (through social media, the e-zine, the podcast, streaming, reporting, etc) extending the reach of each location’s news through our global platforms. We have made more of YWAM’s foundational teaching available online.

The YWAM Podcasts continue to serve over 3000 people a month with the audio content that I have the privilege to produce. This includes both the YWAM News Show and the YWAM Teaching Podcast.

One of my real desires of serving in Youth With A Mission is to see people released into what God has for them. I believe that God has a plan and purpose for everyone out there, and to be able to help people discover that plan is a real blessing, and something that I have been able to do while working with this global team. This also came through from our project leader:

… every day through YWAM.org visitors send a total of about 49 inquiries about opportunities they find on the site. One of our goals for our global communication team is to recruit more people into God’s global purposes. God is using our efforts to direct many people every day to take their first steps into mission.
