Welcome to Grace's YWAM Creative Arts DTS Journey

Hi, I’m Grace and I’m doing a Discipleship Training School (DTS) mission with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in South Africa between July – December 2010. I hope to learn to use my gift of dance to share God's love with the most vulnerable and hurting in this world. Please join me on this journey!!!

Looks can be deceiving!!!

Just a quick update this week:

So... can you believe it!!! I can't believe it's only a week and half to go. How time flies when you're having fun!!!It's week 3 and we've done a plumbline with the youth, ministered to families, led ladies bible studies to illiterate hindu women performed in front of 5000 people and the health minister of Chhattisgargh at a Peace Festival!!! and made front page of a local paper. Can there be more Lord, more? Click for pictures

Guys, India has really been full of nice surprises. People have been very hospitable. The team is gelling together and still very unified which is awesome and news about us seems to keep on spreading. Our hearts are totally that the name of Jesus is spread so we are a little down by this but we know that this is still very positive for a nation that is so much against the gospel. However, we can certainly testify that there are many here who are on fire for God and it is very exciting.

This week the boys have once again had another opportunity to spend time with the cricket guys and was able to pray with some of them and tell others the gospel which was very exciting. Please do stand with us to see further breakthroughs and continual openness to the truth.

As a team of girls, we have been finding teaching the ladies in the bible study a little difficult.There is very little visual responses, low literacy and language barriers bigger than we imagined. However, we are learning a lot and adapting the way we present everyday and trying to understand the culture and environment better. Please pray for a more uniting of hearts and spirit and that understanding and that the ladies are able to take things to heart and really process what Good leads us to say.

We're currently taking a step out of the limelight and doing a few touristy things so that any issues that have arisen from the article will die down. We hope to continue further ministry at the end of the week at another conference so will update you then.

God bless and do check out the blog next week for more information.
