The YWAM VA Experience

Before Che Guevara hooked up with Fidel Castro to start the revolution in Cuba, he used his training in medicine as a ticket to travel all over Latin America offering help wherever he went and build relationships across the continent. I am finding out my ticket to travel the world and serve is computers.

Serving YWAM VA as resident computer geek has been an awesome excuse to build relationships with YWAM missionaries, and learn more about what God is putting on people's hearts to do for His kingdom. Several ywamer's here ( Monica, Kay, and Mike) are answering the call to mend a very damaged relationship between Jews and Christians. After a couple millenia of organized Christianity committing atrocities against the Jewish people there is now a new flood of Jews discovering Jesus. Christians are finally treating Jews in a Christ-like manner and they are responding by embracing Jesus as their Messiah. The Jewish World Office Ywamers here are pretty excited to see the number of Messianic synagogues go from a mere handful across the globe just a few decades ago to a countless number today. And coincidentally the Jewish World Office here is planting a school in Sao Paulo next year. I haven't prayed about it yet but it would be cool to use the network of people I'm building in Brazil to help reach out to the Jews in Sao Paulo.

This past Friday I gave a class for the YWAM staff on migrating to GMail. It was so cool to show people how to communicate online and enjoy the Internet at a whole new level. Freeing people from bondage to AOL is a good feeling. =)

This morning I finally a got a chance to do some intercessory prayer for Brazil with the Brazilian prayer warriors. Very cool!! I'm still not sure what God wants me to do in Brazil. All He's told me so far is help YWAM missionaries, focus on relationships and teach. Teach what, I'm not sure. Build relationships with who, I don't know either, and which YWAM missionaries, that's what I'll be exploring in Brazil. If I packaged everything together on my own volition, I'd be acting in/directing educational videos to promote the various schools of YWAM Brazil.

We shall see... =)

Explaining the Financial Crisis and the Bailout

Pat Dorsey is a pretty smart guy, Director of Equity Research at Morningstar. He explains why the bailout is a safety net for Main Street not a bailout for Wall Street. I understand this I just wish there was a better alternative like getting loans from www.prosper.com. Unfortunately Prosper.com only allows loans of $25,000 which just isn't enough for a lot of companies. Maybe Prosper will expand soon to ease the short term credit crisis. Well here's Pat Dorsey's take on the credit crisis:

Praise Reports: Thanks to an anonymous donation my financial support is up to $600 now! Thank you Mr/Ms Anonymous! A childhood friend of mine contacted me out of the blue to let me know he's in Orlando, too.  I haven't seen him since 1997 so hopefully we can get reaquainted next weekend.  He Googled my name and found my address.  God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday.  Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place.  I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days.  Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling ...
