They Are Everywhere!

They really are, YWAM'ers that is. I can't stop running into them over here. As we were leaving my brothers church last week, a group of hip young people came walking in. They stood out to me because they looked a little out of place amongst all the older ex-patriate types. As we walked down the street Ryan asked me if I had seen the YWAM'ers from Perth come in. This caused me to turn and go back as I had been trying to get in touch with anyone from Perth that was going to be involved in the city wide youth ralley that the Perth base was spearheading. Friends of mine were scheduled to speak at and participate in this event meant to get the local Christian young people fired up for Jesus. Very exciting stuff. Anyways, I got talking with them and sure enough a bunch of us had mutual friends so I was able to pass messages of greeting on to those I know that were on thier way.
Then again when I was wandering around the ancient ruins of Petra I spotted a young lady wearing a Mission Adventures backpack. We got talking and she told me that she was there with some other young couples who had all just moved to Jordan to learn Arabic and teach for 4 years. I later ran into the whole group at my hotel, we were staying in the same place. One of the guys happened to have staffed my best friends DTS in Orlando 6 years ago. It was so exciting to see so many coming to this part of the world that desperatly needs people that love Jesus and these nations. Praise god!
