Isn’t this why we’re here?

I look out the plane window as we descend into Mumbai. It is the middle of the night, so all I can see are twinkling car headlights and stoplights, the muted blue airfield lights, and then the rush of the ground as it comes to meet the plane. Everything is going to change…..

As light floods all around us, we are hit with awe. This is the first time we’ve really seen what India looks like. I scan around to see my other team members–Jackie, Kara, Allison, and Amy. Their gaze is fixed to the window, like mine.

Spoil the Kids

At YWAM Madison, we believe that loss is not the end of the line for children at risk. We long to restore hope & joy to orphans & street kids. Our Children at Risk DTS teams put great effort into spoiling these kids. We plan extravagant parties and special outings. We deliver piles of gifts, toys, and gently used clothes and shoes. We engineer craft & game times. And we are looking for your help!

Bible School for the Nations: Fall 2012

Our vision is to train missionaries who can “accurately handle the word of God,” and communicate truth in a relevant way. Whether through a local church, on a university campus, or among a group of Christian leaders in restricted areas, we believe this course can enable many more people to help transform our world.

Children at Risk DTS: Fall 2012

Throughout the world millions of children are orphaned through war, AIDS, and extreme poverty. Every seven seconds a child dies from a preventable disease. Children are sold into prostitution or forced to become child soldiers. They’re lost and they have no place to live. These children have no hope. And these are the ones that are on the heart of God.

The Children at Risk DTS will focus on the needs of children around the world and the issues that put them at risk. We will also focus on the heart of God who promises to be a “Father to the fatherless, who sets the lonely in families.” (Psalm 68:5,6) Children at Risk DTS begins September 18, 2011.
