October Update

We are moving quickly toward the end of the DTS lecture phase and have some great classes coming up as we finish the 12 weeks in Guatemala.  God has blessed us with some wonderful students and teachers who have come from other countries to share their lives.  The students are busy with all of the classroom activities as well as preparing dramas and children's ministry for our outreach to India.  We have purchased our ticket and we will be leaving on October 21 for Chennai.  The YWAM Beachcenter will be hosting us for the majority of the time but we will also be linking with Oasis World Ministries based in Minnesota.  We will be working alongside of the "Gospel and Healing Festival" that will be conducted in Northern Andra Pradesh.  We will be visiting local communities to share the gospel and we will also be helping with the evening crusades in which thousands of people come to hear the gospel.  Many receive miraculous healing and deliverance from demons during the services.  We are excited to partner with the ministries God has linked us with for the outreach.  Please keep our team of 11 in prayer as we venture into new territory.  Several of our students need financial assistance and if you would like to make a donation it would be greatly appreciated and go toward a very worthwhile cause.  Donations can be made out to "YWAM Antigua" and sent to the following address:
YWAM Chico
15850 Richardson Springs Rd
Chico, CA 95973

We have two new staff members who joined us in September, Cooper and Erin Evans.  They are recent newlyweds and met in last year's DTS.  We are blessed to have them on staff and pray that God will use them in a powerful way.  They will be studying Spanish for a couple of months before beginning ministry with us.

The Motorcycle DTS will begin February 17 with the classroom phase conducted at our base and the outreach will be in the United States.  Please help us spread the word!!!

Eder and Carolina are on staff with us and on August 28 Carolina gave birth to Samantha.  They are doing well and will be joining us shortly.  We are all excited to have a baby in the house!
