After the team from Nachitoches, Louisiana left we were surprised by a call from the Diaspora DTS from the YWAM Los Angeles base. They were on their 2 month outreach to Central America and contacted us on short notice to see if they could spend a week with us. We had the time they wanted available so we were able to host them and conduct ministry with them. They had 9 team members with only a couple who spoke English as all of them were from South Korea. They were a wonderful team to host. We enjoyed their times of worship in Korean, the dramas and songs they did with the children and their times of intercession.
We just finished hosting Riverpoint Church from Georgia for a week. They brought the largest team we have ever hosted-24 youth and adults. We had a great time of ministry with them and divided them into 2-3 groups at times to be able to get more involvement and touch more lives. Some of the things they did were: Kids ministry at the base; home construction project; painting a Christian school; ministry at Hermano Pedro Hospital and Orphanage; feeding the poor; conducting services for the homeless. Kids ministry in Santa Maria de Jesus and evangelism in Central Park. They took advantage of ministry opportunities that became available and did a great job. We were blessed by their servant attitude and sincere desire to see people reached with the gospel.
Our next group arrives July 10 from Rochester, Minnesota. They will be our last team before we start our DTS on July 24 with 13 students.
