Meet the Staff Team!

We are imperfect, loved, unique, funny, special, gifted and passionate. We are a bunch of individuals who have gathered here because of a calling and a longing. We have different backgrounds, experiences, talents, thoughts and ideas. We all bring something unique to the team. 

We are from Czech Republic, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, USA, Madagascar, Sweden and Germany. We are the staff team.

We are still waiting for our last staff member to join us. She is currently waiting for her visa. If it crosses your mind to pray, please pray for her :) We miss her and want her to come join us soon!

Cheers.

What in the world?

Dear family, friends, strangers or random people I have met through life. 

I never thought I’d start writing a blog, but I know some of you are curious to know what in the world I am doing. So let me introduce to you the organization I’m working with.

YWAM is a christian organization, with a focus on youth in mission. The slogan “knowing God and making Him known” says a bit more. YWAM is established in many countries all over the world. The story of how I got into YWAM in the first place, is a longer more personal story - I’ll tell you another time! YWAM runs many schools, the first and “major” is the DTS (Discipleship Training School), in many countries all over the world. I like to think of it as focus on the christian life, identity, who is God and growing in your personal relationship with God. Young and old hearts gather here to search for more of God, learn more, give more. The school runs for 5-6 months. The first 12 weeks in a classroom setting - speakers come and share what they are passionate about and their passion for God. During this time we also prepare for outreach by doing local outreach. It varies from talking to the prostitutes on the streets on a saturday night, praying for the sick in the townships, and running weekly bible studies in internet coffeshops. The last 10 weeks we head on outreach - share what we’ve learned, share God’s love and help and love on people. 

As staff we are there to encourage, listen, help, plan, learn, grow, pray, schedule, set up, prepare and simply be there for the students. I am so excited about this school, to get to know the staff team and students. I am excited to learn and grow. Excited to see what God is going to do in this time. I am so excited to be back. 
Where in the world I am? South Africa :)
