I got to be
part of a great family reunion over the first weekend of May, one which ha not
happened in 21 years! YWAM (youth with a mission) from all parts of the UK got
together to hear from God together and from each other. It was great to get to
hear what God is doing through YWAM in Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England,
and to get to catch up with friends from all these different places. It got me
excited for what God is doing across these islands and that I get to be apart
of it.
We felt God
talk to us about being family, with each other and with those we meet, the
biggest question was about how well we love each other, and how well we love
the people we meet everyday. Certainly a really good challenge and a really
great reminder as to why I am doing what I do.
All in all
we were a family gathering of over 550 people from over 40 different nations,
which was amazing, I love being part of such a large and diverse family such as
YWAM. We spent time together worshiping, praying for the British Isles and
Europe, hearing teaching, and getting to fellowship together. Which are all
really important as YWAM is held together by its values, not a central office,
so gathering together is really important for us.
I greatly
enjoy gathering together, and really look forward to what this next year brings.
