"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
Missions!
It's outreach time here at the YWAM base!
I know what a lot of you are thinking, what is outreach? An impoartant part of "Youth with a mission" is building up disciples to go out into the nations and share with others the love of Jesus.
Youth with a mission "YWAM" has schools throughout different nations called Discipleship Training schools "DTS". The schools are usally 3 months long the first three months are lectures with guest speakers coming from around the world to pour into us. The speakers go in depth on topics relating to knowing more of who God is.
The last 3 months of the school are "outreach" missions where we send teams of students out to different nations to share and apply all that they have just learned on who God is and making Him know.
Our heart is to see Europe transformed by the power and love of Jesus Christ.
Practial ways!
The amazing thing about outreach is that it looks different each time.
Some ways that we approach this, is through meeting people where they are at. Being the hands and feet of Jesus. This looks like finding out about any needs in the city, weither thats serving people food through a homless kitchen, or going to spend time with orphans.
Other practical ways are also going and helping out in refugee camps in places in Europe, and meeting needs there.
It could also look like us doing some street act's such as skits or drama's / songs of worship on street corners, going out into cities to encourage others and asking them if we can pray for him and invite them to learn who God is, in just sharing our own personal testmonies with them.
Road Trip Missions Style!
I am so excited to be apart of a driving team for outreach.
We have heard God really speak to us about buying a van here for the base in Paris and using it to take our team to the nations.
We plan on sleeping in tents along the way and to take ferry boats to drive a complete circle through out Europe over the next three months.
This gives us greater chances to stop and meet and pray for people along the way.
So far we are seaking contacts in the countries that are going to. Praying and trusting that God will provide more places for us to stay and host churches to help support us along the way.

The main places we are traveling to are
