When Words Won't Work PDF Print E-mail
Written by Tammy Evans   

Written: June 2009
While I was preparing to take a team to an Asian nation for outreach, I was told that it is closed to the gospel of God. I was told that we can’t preach, we can’t do dramas about Jesus, and we can’t sing songs about God’s love. So as a team we prayed, and we asked God the following questions: “How do you share the freedom of Christ in a nation that has no freedom?” “How do you preach the gospel without words?” “How do you convince a person that Jesus died just for him, when he’s one amongst millions?”

Well, we didn’t really have the answers when we left, but in faith we knew that God would provide a way to share His love with the people in that nation. There are many stories about this trip, many salvations and wonderfully amazing moments, but to me the following story is a story of how God wants us to live our lives, every day.

Reaching the Haitian Outback PDF Print E-mail
Written by Patty Beck   

The long winding road took us deeper and deeper into the Haitian outback. Baking in the morning sun and choking back the dust, we carefully scanned the horizon, wondering where our final destination would be. The barren landscape showed no sign of life.

Just as our restlessness peaked, we saw it: A narrow path emerged to our right, carved out of the abandoned rice fields. Our truckload of people and supplies jostled about as we turned off the main road and made our way across the wilderness, only to find life at the other end. “There it is!” yelled someone to my left, “See the mud huts!” This would be our resting place, and our home, for the next seven days.

Meeting God PDF Print E-mail
Written by Marsha Langer, staff writer, as told to her by Amanda Hough, YWAM Tyler DTS alumna   

It was the third week of our outreach in South Korea, and it was a grueling one! Every morning we played with kindergartners before heading off to teach English in a middle school. After lunch we continued teaching English at two high schools all afternoon. Then, for four hours every evening we ran a kids camp, where we taught the kids dances, skits, songs, and Bible stories.

In Their Own Words

Staff Profile:
Rodger and Katrina Kistler

Rodger and Katrina met in the fall of 2002 at their home church in Wichita, Kansas. They were both surprised to meet somebody there who had a heart for missions and for YWAM. Rodger had traveled for a year with Impact World Tour, riding a freestyle BMX bicycle during ministry campaigns. Katrina had just returned from her Teachers for the Nations outreach to Kenya. After seven short months of dating and serving their home church, they got married. In 2004 they came to YWAM Tyler so Rodger could attend DTS and SOE training schools, and Katrina joined staff at Fatherheart maternity home.
