News From Around the World

We've heard reports from some of the teams that are out on outreach! Over the last couple months we've had short-term teams working in Cambodia, India, the Kimberley (northern Australia), Switzerland, Thailand, and Denmark!

- In Switzerland 50 people gave their lives to Jesus in 3 weeks!

- In Cambodia in a village of 700 people one of our teams led 100 people to the Lord!

- In India a team got to share discipleship teaching with 400 local Christians!

Some highlights from two of our base ministries:

- Over the last year ARMS (Australian Relief and Mercy Services - a ministry run by YWAM Perth and in cooperation with the local government to reach out to families in crisis) aided 184 families!

- Over the last year NEXWAVE (a YWAM Perth ministry that works with Christian and non-Christian youth by doing camps and in-school seminars on values, relationships, etc) worked with over 17,000 youth in Perth and in other cities in Western Australia!

I think it's worth noting that Nexwave is a ministry comprised of about 10 staff (from between the ages of 18-30 something). It's amazing what God can do through just a few willing people!
