School Students in Victoria Take a Stand for Justice
It's been a massive week for the January DTS outreach team to Victoria from YWAM Reef to Outback, but the entire team are are establishing great connections for YWAM's upcoming Australia & PNG ship tour and are finding an incredible amount of favour and excitement everywhere they go.
The team have been doing high school programs on missions and using the ‘Voice in the Dark’ videos while sharing their stories from Fiji. They're criss-crossing across the state and the response from the students & teachers has been amazing. For their question panels at the end, they have all been asking how they can get involved in YWAM and what it means to be 'sold out for God'! Team leader, Anna Sutherland says, “It confirms to my heart again the calling that is on Aussie youth to respond to our world in need."
Currently the team are based in Hamilton with some of the leader’s supporters that own a boarding house. “It has been perfect, we have visitors constantly - but none of us seem to mind,” Anna says. Here, they were able to lead a Baptist youth group which went well as God gripped young people’s hearts again for more. They also did a prayer walk one morning with a few church people involved in the Christian school, the council and the Port where the ship is coming in.
“I'm just so overwhelmed by God and how much He is in this tour and His heart for this region,” says Anna who is originally from the area.
There are some things to pray for. The team has a really full schedule with a lot of traveling. There isn’t much ‘down time’ so please pray for continued energy.
