Impacting Business Leaders is as easy as 1,2,3!

Youth in Southeast Asia (2)

We have an exciting announcement to make at YouthHOPE for the youth of Myanmar! God has opened doors for three international business as mission trainers from Chiang Mai, Thailand to train our summer internship participants and the Myanmar business community on business as mission skills.  Originally our summer interns were going to travel to a conference in Chiang Mai, Thailand before coming to Myanmar.  However, due to lack of interest from college students there, the company was forced to cancel the training. Our interns still needed training before this summer so he asked the trainers if they’d come to Myanmar instead. Their calendars were free and they accepted! It gets better!  In wanting to make their time in Myanmar worthwhile, Ryan talked with a couple of organizations in his network and the response was overwhelming.  He approached the Myanmar Chamber of Commerce about doing a two hour session with some of their …

Transformational youth ministry-Malawi & Zambia Internship 2012

January 20, 2012 by Katie Leave a Comment
Youth training for Foundations for Farming in the village of Eg'chickeni.

At YouthHOPE, we have the privilege of working with awesome global youth workers throughout the world who have a heart to see the lives of youth transformed by God.  These people are in the trenches, working daily to bring the truth of Christ to the youth they interact with.  Some of the global youth workers that I am blessed to work with are the same wonderful people who were hosts to my intern team this past summer, Rutherford and Tsahai Banda in Malawi and Lloyd Ng’ambi in Zambia.  I was privileged with the opportunity to spend the summer working alongside these amazing servants in their ministries and I am excited about the opportunities in front of our intern team for 2012! Currently, it is estimated that 21% of the population in Zambia is made up of youth between the ages of 15-24.  These youth are facing many difficulties, including unemployment, lack of education, and HIV/AIDS.  Lloyd, Director of Youth, Synod of …

Journey of Encouragement

December 12, 2011 by Katie Leave a Comment
Recruiting at Wheaton College

As I think of the 4 weeks of recruiting across 10 states, I’m able to look back over our time and be amazed by the provision of God and the incredible ways he encouraged us throughout the time. I want to thank those who were praying for us, it was evident that God was answering and blessing us in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. Throughout the 4 weeks we had the opportunity to speak with lots of college students who are on fire for God and have a desire to follow Him to the ends of the world, or next door, wherever He calls.  We got to listen as students shared their hearts, their passions, their dreams that God has planted in them.  (Let me tell you, I am blessed to do that as part of my “job”). One of the encounters that was particularly encouraging to me was at the last school we went to for recruiting, Berry College in Rome, Georgia.  By this time in the journey, Britney and I were definitely feeling some of …

Is God inefficient?

September 22, 2011 by Adam 6 Comments
efficiency-perfection

No answers or advice for youth workers in this post, just an invitation to do a little pondering and potentially enter into a conversation. Honestly, it is a conversation I would rather not have. I am obsessed with efficiency and productivity. Seriously, ask my wife. We "have discussions" about aesthetics often. In my world the photos, paint, and wall hangings she spends money on or time and energy creating add little value to our home because they have no practical value. We "have discussions" about her getting the radio right before we start driving because it would be way more efficient to do that at the first red light. I have a problem. Also, as the point person for YouthHOPE’s internships, I fear it could reflect poorly on the program we have been trying to build. (Because it could make them appear to be all about the participant and their experience, which is always a secondary issue in our planning.) Two quotes from …

Jesus Wins!

This might be our last blog update from Cambodia. Our team has grown exceedingly close over the past 2 months. I can hardly believe that we will soon be leaving the country that we have mutually grown to know and love.  God has definitely brought this group together for "such a time as this."  We all have different talents that can be used to bring glory to the one true King.  I am incredibly humbled to see how divine God's plan is and how he has knit us in a group, who is far better together as a team than we are as individuals.  Oh Praise Him. We have been working in separate ministries much of the summer; Kristen, Sue and Adam have been working in the villages most days of the week teaching English and Christian values. Hannah, Kristy, and Brittany have been teaching art, English and bible lessons at the safe house.  Sue just had her final class for the North Korean doctors on Monday and for the final week we will be …

God’s Plans Are Far Better Than Ours…

IMG_1859

To our faithful supporters who are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace and Peace to you from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ. We cannot think of a better way to address you than the way that Paul addresses the faithful church in Ephesus almost 2000 years ago.  Our team is so thankful for your partnership in sharing the gospel over the past 2 months.  We are hoping to finish the race strong together, as Christ unites our hearts through prayer.  God is revealing the fruit of your prayers in amazing ways.  Even in our struggles, God has shown us the purpose in His timing.  We would like to share a story with you of God's provision this last week. Last Tuesday, we took Britney Sue to the doctor because she had some pretty nasty bug bites on her legs.  Immediately after arriving at a clinic, they ushered her back into the surgical room followed by three doctors, then three more... and then 3 more closely behind....  Don't …

Woah… We’re Halfway There…

In exactly 3 weeks we begin our journey to the US. It can't be true that we've been away from home for over a month now??! This week we closed a chapter in our Cambodian adventure. After 3 weeks of English classes, kids clubs, dance and Christian values classes, we said goodbye to the AMAZING kids at the Puok School out in one of the villages. It truly was a life-changing experience to work with kids who are so hungry to learn new words and hear more Bible stories. We got some beautiful artwork from some of our favorite kids as goodbye presents. It was hard to explain to them why we had to leave but we told them it was time for us to go help some different students and that we will be thinking of them always. On our last day at "sala bpoa keyoo" (the blue school), we had a little graduation ceremony from dance class, along with lots of pictures and hugs with the leadership team out there (Roselette, Nary, and Rayuk). We are so …

swahili lesson in market

Jambo! Habari gani? In case you don’t speak Kiswahili that means, “Hello! What’s new?” Over the past couple of weeks we have been spending our mornings learning Kiswhalili from our new friend Ann. We have learned some useful phrases and have been practicing throughout town, in church, at schools and during youth and children’s fellowships. We received a challenge to have a full day of Kiswahili by the end of our trip…we’ll be using a lot of body language that day. During the past couple of days, we have had the opportunity to embrace the Kenyan (primarily Maasai) culture through our visits to various primary and secondary schools. Yesterday, we were able to take part in the Maasai Girl’s Secondary School church service as we learned dances and talked over a cup of chai. We have also had the pleasure of making friends with a number of the local youth workers.  We have been able to invite them over for games and hot …
