Iúile (pronounced “YOO-ih-leh”) has been on staff with YWAM Tyler since 2001. She currently works in the Communications Department. She is originally from Ireland where she worked for 15 years in healthcare. During that time, God gave her a heart of compassion for the poor, underprivileged, and downtrodden. She had many opportunities to minister to the unlovely and the unloved in the course of her work—to be “Jesus with skin on” to people.
Since joining YWAM, she has had many more of these opportunities, including several outreaches with MercyWorks, where she has helped bring aid to those affected by natural disasters. Her desire is to serve the poor and needy of the world by loving them as Jesus loves them.
Iúile also has a heart for worship and prayer and has led worship and intercession times with several YWAM Tyler training schools.

I was just perusing the BBC news website and found an interesting editorial pertinent to my previous blog. Here's the link if you're interested.

The other day, I was involved (in the sense of sitting at the same table as some people who were talking) in a conversation about climate change. Honestly, I have no clue whether or not the earth is warming as a result of carbon emissions. I am not sure there is any way to know definitively. The evidence can hardly be said to be incontrovertible. I think only history can be the judge. But whatever the reason for the apparent change in climate, I still believe we have been entrusted by God to steward the earth. |

I just read a story in the news about how a girl was so bullied and tormented by other girls that she leapt from a third-storey window of a house in London, UK to escape their abuse. Even as she lay dying in the street, the verbal abuse continued. The last words she heard were not words of comfort, but of torment. In a statement released after two teenage girls were convicted of her manslaughter, the girl's parents issued this statement: We want them to know that we forgive them. Forgiveness means that we refuse to be shackled by bitterness and our prayer is that
forgiveness will allow the girls to be released from the burden of what they have done, so that they can even now grow into the sort of people that God intended them to be. There is not a lot left to be said, is there? I simply applaud the dignified response of these grieving parents and their stubborn refusal to be "shackled by bitterness." |

Today, November 11, 2009, marks the 91st anniversary of the end of World War I — Armistice Day (Veterans' Day here in the United States). On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, 1918, four years of hostilities officially came to an end. Estimates of how many lost their lives in the Great War range between 15 million and 25 million (military and civilian). Figures for World War II are estimated between 40 million and 72 million.
These are numbers that I heard in my history classes at school, the same classes I sat through with my chin propped up in my hands, the warmth of the classroom in the old Gothic building and the monotone voice of my history teacher gently lulling me to sleep. At 14, I had little appreciation for anything outside myself.
