We had orientation today and while we absorbed A LOT of information a few things really stood out to us.
1. Our CDTS (Crossroads Discipleship Training School) has a major focus on children and families. YWAM believes that when mom and dad are called, the kids are too; it's a whole family thing. One of the teachers for the kids shared that kids do amazing things on outreach. God oftentimes speaks through them directly. We should remember that they're not given a junior sized Holy Spirit. They're given all of His power, just as much as we get. They are mighty. Excited to see how God uses Savannah!
2. 90% of missions funding and workers travel to areas where the Gospel has already been taken. Only 10% goes to the nations who have either never heard or that has only had a very few touched. It's like water being poured from a well. Most of the water is going to places that are already wet while the driest lands are getting nothing. YWAM Colorado Springs focuses on the area of northern Africa to the Middle East to Asia. It is the most densely populated area of the entire world with the least number of people who have heard the news of Jesus Christ. The need is great! While people everywhere need the Truth and help from missions, the people of these nations have the least access and desperately need help. So thank you to all who have helped send us on this journey. You are helping us to go help an area that doesn't receive nearly what it needs.
Blessings and joy to you all!
