Year of Jubilee

I just recently got home from spending a few weeks in Ensenada & Tijuana, Mexico with the rest of the staff. Every other year we close down the base for a week and go on a staff outreach together. So this year we packed our bags and headed to Ensenada! We stayed at the YWAM base there and had a great time catching up with old YWAM friends, bonding as a staff, and loving on the people of Mexico.

God opened the doors for us to be able to head out to the red light district and talk with the men that go there night after night to get drunk and do drugs. We also got to spend a day at a women's rehab center painting, playing games with their children, and speaking to the women about God's love. We also spent several days helping YWAM Tijuana prep for YWAM's 50th year Jubilee conference.

It was an incredible trip and God really spoke to many of us and helped to give us more vision for our base for years to come.

This year YWAM is celebrating it's 50th year of existence. The founders, Loren and Darlene Cunningham, are in their 70's and are still working full force to see YWAM continue to be cutting edge and bringing God to as many as possible.

The very DNA of YWAM is incredible. I was so blessed to be able to spend time hearing stories of God's goodness over the past 50 years and how He has provided things so incredible that it is hard to explain. It was also amazing to see the vision that God has for this mission in the future. I walked away blessed knowing that God has given YWAM so much favor and influence and yet the humility of every base is almost tangible.

For me this time away was very refreshing and God has birthed some fresh vision in me for the future of my time here with YWAM and for Project Sixty-One as a ministry. I am excited to see where He leads me in this vision and excited to share it with all of you as things begin to unfold and develop!
