Scenes from the YWAM University of the Nations Consultation in Taoyuan Taiwan
Our Founders Loren & Darlene Cunningham greet us via video link up to all four sites.
Hi everyone!
It's Saturday Morning here and just over a week until Mel & I leave for Taoyuan City in Taiwan. In case you don't know or can't remember we will be attending the (YWAM) University of the Nations (UofN)Workshop from September 3-8. The theme of the conference is " Celebrate Asia."
A little about " Celebrate Asia "
" Celebrate Asia " will be one UofN Workshop taking place in four locations simultaneously, linked together through GENESIS which allows us to see and hear one another as if we were in one place. We can choose to go to India , South Korea , Thailand or Taiwan. All four locations will help to shape the overall program for the daily GENESIS session, but each individual location will have its own unique expression with workshops, celebrations, teaching, worship, intercession and great opportunities to network and make new friends. There will also be events offered by the UofN Colleges and Centres as well as other YWAM ministries.
Here is a quote from Loren Cunningham's invitational letter.
' We are living in an amazing season in missions history. There are unprecedented opportunities on every front, and we are experiencing a deep unity within the body of Christ that is catalytic for us together to actually accomplish the Great Commission!
The upcoming University of the Nations Workshop is a gathering to learn about God’s heart for Asia and how to engage. We believe that He will teach us His ways and mobilize us to be involved in many more places with fresh, God-breathed initiatives. Our prayer is that He will give greater revelation of His plan for YWAM/UofN and each one of us individually in this amazing time in history in which we live! '
After the U of N workshop is over we will be having the Family Ministry Consultation in Taiwan beginning on Sunday night, September 9 and ending on Monday night September 10. YWAM Family Ministries Intl. Leadership team will meet also with the Family Resource Centre Leadership Team all day Tuesday, September 11.
Thank you so much to all of you who have prayed with us to see the finances released for this trip. Miraculously they have and we were even blessed with a huge discount on our air ticket which is a third of the usual price. God is so good!
Prayer Requests....Please Pray......
We would appreciate your continual prayer covering as we travel and also for our time at the conference, leadership meetings and family ministries consultation.
For Joanna as she will remain here in Baguio this time with one of our staff staying with her in our home.
Also continue to uphold the Family Ministries School (FMS) commencing on September 19. We would still like to see more students enroll. For now we have 10 accepted students and 8 possible students. In fact one of our students will be getting married here at the YWAM centre next week.
This weekend we have new family ministries staff arriving from Germany and Cambodia. Please pray that they will settle in well and bond quickly with the FMP team and to their change of environment. These three staff were all students here during the FMS 2005.
Thank you so much. We do appreciate all your efforts on behalf of us here.
Thanks also for keeping in touch as we so enjoy hearing about your lives too..
Blessings!
