0
Momentous news ……YWAM York is now the proud owner of what was previously St Barnabas  Church Hall  but will shortly be transformed in to the Barnabas Community Center on Salisbury Avenue, Leeman Road, York!!!
The solicitors signed off on it this week and we now have the keys……..WOW! We have a building contractor in place and the structural work should be finished by the end of December.   We are now planning and designing the space, renovations etc it is all very exciting. On top of this we have recruited a family of 4 to come and join us.  The husband will be helping Carl with national communications and PR and his wife will be working with children, youth, families in the area as well as work amongst the poor.  We are very excited and this is a major answer to prayer for us!
 We are currently fundraising the £50,000 to pay off the loan so we can be debt free!
The structural work will be about 40,000 and the remaining 10,000 will be put towards renovations such as a new kitchen, smoke alarms etc.    So the goal is to raise 100,000  over the next 6 months, please continue to stand with us in prayer to see this come in.
Just thought you would be encouraged by all this.  It has been a long road to buy it.  But praise God we got there!

Romania here we come!

So we are now on the final day of our three day YWAM England Summer missions training camp in Nuneaton. Our team of 14 have been united at last from across the UK and we have such an amazing bunch of young adults with such great gifts and talents coming to Romania.

Scottish dancing, musicians, lots of us love to work with children, we have had workshops over the past few days on face painting, balloon modelling, evangelism, bubble making, arts and crafts, circus and magic skills! All very exciting.

So tomorrow we and the YWAM York DTS trainees fly out to Romania for two weeks to help with childrens programs, work among the gypsy community and with the churches. So watch this space for news on how it all goes!

YWAM England Staff Gathering

What did you enjoy the most about the YWAM England staff gathering?

Catching up with old friends and making new friends. I also really enjoyed running the cafe and getting to meet lots of people. There was one evening where people dressed up in 70’s and 80’s gear and told YWAM stories from back in the day.

How were the talks?

It was interesting to hear Carmelita talk about central Europe and really sad to hear how few Christians and ywamers in central Europe.  We have no YWAMers in Greece currently and it was really great to hear how they had sent an outreach team there and that they had been really well received. It was inspiring to hear the vision to reach 5 cities over two years starting new YWAM teams.

How was the food and accommodation?

We were camping which was fun, the showers were delightful and the food was exquisite!  We’d definitely go again.
