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... =)

Merry Christmas! Grandma is gonna love this....

As I wait semi-patiently for my visa to Brazil, watching myself slip into mediocrity once again, I decided to fast from movies, tv, and junk food until Christmas. It was a huge step in the right direction otherwise life was going to end up like this: I've been keeping myself busy with developing http://www.ywamva.org . Everything about their site looks the same as before but everything is now managed with blogger.com like my website. Stupid paypal donation button still isn't working, though. sigh.... I've also been doing some last minute video editing for them. I might upload it to Google Video, but I have to warn you, it's a 14 minute long inside joke mocking YWAM staff. I've concluded that acting is still more fun than editing films mainly because I'm not a walking database of catchy songs like most of my peers are. This whole fasting from media and jund food has mandated lots of creative alternatives for these cold dark nights.... like play with the new dog A...
