After our time in the village we went to a children’s hostel. Where it was over 20 kids who have their parents in the bordering country, but since it’s hard to get a good education for the tribe there, they come to the hostel to get good education. The children are between 8 and 16 years old. We came with the expectation of serving them, but God really surprised us and touched us with his spirit. We were so blessed and got so much from them! We had wonderful worship times with the kids, were we were ministering to each other. Both the children and us got pictures of them being children who will change the future of their country. And that we are all royals with God on our side and that we can walk with that authority! For us as team it was a reminder as well, we are empowered by God and we can go out with authority and with the power of God within us!

After some wonderful days at the children’s hostel, we went further North. There we were going to teach English for a week in a small school with ten students. On the way we had a fun cultural experience with the local line-car, which was filled with almost 30 people where there usually is place for around 10. The first day of teaching was challenging because the students were not used to white people and therefore they were very shy. But after some games and socialising the ice was broken. At the end of the week we noticed a difference in their English. The last day we blessed them with a guitar and they started to worship and sing right away.

We also helped an Organisation to pack some health packages to give over 900 children in the refugee camps nearby. In the help packages were practical things such as shampoo, soap, toothbrush and toothpaste and some more.
Right now we are back at the local YWAM-center preparing a reunion for the former local DTS-students, that we will have this weekend. The goal of this weekend is to encourage them to have Jesus in their daily life and to share the gospel in the refugees camp where they live. We hope that weekend will inspire them to know that they are royal children of God and they can walk in his strength.

Before we leave our certain country and go to the bordering country, we will visit a refugee camp nearby. Despite new cultural experiences and other challenges, we feel God’s presence in the midst of us.
We greet you with Deuteronomy 31:6, a verse which meant a lot for us as a team:

«Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid of them! The Lord your God will go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you. «

Be blessed!

Let’s keep inTouch!

We welcome you to an inTouch Summer Renewal Camp at Skjærgårdsheimen, an YWAM base located in the southernmost part of Norway.

If you have been a YWAMer anywhere in the world, or if you have had any kind of relationship with YWAM, you are very much invited.

Maybe you have had no relationship with YWAM in the past, but are interested in getting to know more about YWAM? This camp gives a good opportunity for this.

We want this gathering to be an event where participants of all ages can relax and enjoy time with one another.

There will be plenty of time to fellowship with old friends and to make new acquaintances, as well. You will also be able to enjoy excellent teaching. The teaching sessions will take place in the mornings. The evenings will be filled with different activities ranging from barbeques to love feast and preaching.

We pray that everyone will experience the presence of God and hear His voice.

Skjærgårdsheimen is situated at the idyllic island of Flekkerøy in a wonderful and sunny costal landscape, 15 minutes drive from Kristiansand.

DTS is progressing with leaps and bounds! We have now had 6 weeks of teaching, where the topics have been God’s Father heart, relationships, evangelism, prayer, worship and God’s character.

RISK

We have also been allowed to participate in the project RISK. We were with the rest of the DTS in Norway and we splitted up into teams that went out to all countries in Europe. The goal was to win Europe for Jesus again! We were allowed to do it through prayer, encouragingchurches and evangelism. And when we came back we had many interesting stories to tell about what God had done! From Skjærgårdsheimen we went to the countries Switzerland, Germany, Estonia, Netherlands, Norway and Denmark.

EVANGELISM

We received a visit from Vincent Esterman who shared his experience with evangelism. After some teaching, we were allowed to put it into practice! So the whole DTS, along with Multi Team, joined Vincent in the center of Kristiansand. There he took up his sketch board where he writes it in a creative way to catch people’s attention. Many were fascinated by what he was talking about. Everyone who was listening were invited to a meeting at NMS. Here, students shared testimonies, sang and showed drama. Vincent invited people to recieve Jesus, to people accepted Jesus again! It was a splendid evening!

There will be different musical contributions by youth from Flekkerøy Curch and from Skjærgårdsheimen. Everone is warmly welcome!

Here during teaching before going out to Kristiansand to evangelize.

Vincent uses a sketchboard to share about God, on a very entertaining way.

Many are very curious over what they see and hear.

The people who stopped and listened in the street, was also invited to a cafe (Under the auspices of Skjærgårdsheimen and some other Christian groups in Kristiansand) for Vince and the DTS-students to share some more. To men, one from Afganistan and one from Iran received Jesus. God is good!
