We started off the year with the YWAM staff conference. Youth With a Mission staff from across the country came together for a two day time of prayer and encouragement. The speaker was supposed to be a teacher from South Africa, but the day before the conference it turned out they would not be able to make it. So at the last moment the whole thing was changed to an interactive time filled with prayer and everyone had an opportunity to share. We were also given an overview of the history of YWAM in Namibia, it was interesting, but more than that it was great for David and I to hear about the small beginnings of all the ministries. We look forward to being able to look back at our own ministry one day. Right now we have people from several nations working together in Namibia to see the nation changed and saved.
