Adopting Nations



Having a heart for a nation starts with having a desire to know someone more than just reading about a people group on the local or national news and then praying for them on a weekly basis or even a daily basis if your heart is so moved.
Engaging your whole mind, body and soul into a Nation may mean getting your finger nails a little dirty. In this case, getting my fingers sticky as I enjoyed having chicken together. Youth, no matter  the language gap or where they are from, are all the same in one way or another. Depending upon how one presents himself outside of what government bodies and idealistic news medias say about other people in the world, I think, we need to be open to learn from each other.
I have read in my Christian bible, that Jesus had ask his followers to be a light to all mankind. (Matt. 5:16)

What a great time we had together this winter getting to know some of the students who came from South Korea for our Korean Leadership Training school.  Fellowship over a meal is one way of 'breaking the ice' and allowing the students as well as us to relax and be ourselves.  Bringing cultures together is fairly easy when it is over a meal.  Sadly due to Covid -19, we were not able to see this school go on outreach, which was planned to go to Europe and tour the East Coast. With the currently the current situation, the students decided to return home early. Please be praying for these and the sixteen others as they return home to be with their families and loved ones. They will be truly missed.

Bringing Hope at the Border

Our ministry began this Spring going down to our Southern Border with a scouting team to see how we,  YWAMTYLER, can get involved with bringing some hope to the many people who live along the border; whether here in Texas or in Mexico.  Since then we have organized a number of volunteers into teams of people from local churches, to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ in the most practical ways. Providing basic needs, from just a change of clothes to some food. 
Around the end of June, Laurie and I joined a Medical outreach that consisted of Doctors, Nurses and a Dentist.  Laurie brought her hair styling talent and I volunteered to assist the dentist, Dr. Nichols. He tried to have me extract a tooth of one patient we saw, which I passed onto the other assistant, Sandra, a YWAM staffer with YWAM South Texas.  I enjoyed providing the sterilized dental tools, which Dr. Nichols  needed  for each new patient he ...

Hope at the Border - Medical Outreach #2

YWAMTYLER Outreaches Our ministry began this Spring going down to our Southern Border with a scouting team to see how we can get involved with bringing some hope to the many people who live along the border whether here in Texas or in Mexico.  Since then we have organized a number of volunteers into teams of people from local churches to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ in the most practical ways. Basic needs, from just a change of clothes to some food.   Laurie and I joined another Medical outreach this November that consisted of Doctors, Nurses and  two Dentists.  Laurie once again brought her hair styling talent and I volunteered to assist both dentists, Dr. Nichols and Dr. Holland. In realizing that we would have more translation assistance this time, I needed to position myself in such a way to help both assistants as well as dentists, without being in the way.  So I choose to be behind the table of dental equipment....
