It seemed appropriate, at the start of a new academic quarter when many YWAM centres start to fill up with students, speakers and guests, to produce an International YWAMer on the topic of Hospitality. I considered taking an extensive tour of YWAM bases for the purpose of evaluating their hospitality, but the budget didn’t allow it!
Is hospitality really valued in YWAM? Certainly, it seems that it is a part of our character, something that we are known for. But it’s not an area that we can be lazy about – each new generation has to be taught what it looks like to value hospitality and how to make it a part of your YWAM life. Hopefully this issue will be a reminder to consider how your team is doing in living out this YWAM value. (Here’s a hint : if you find that Rita’s tips in the article “Fit for a King” about caring for guest speakers are being left behind in conspicuous places by your visitors, you may have some work to do!)
September is also the time when YWAM’s global database is updated and posted to www.ywam.org and the new Go Manual is put together, making it possible for thousands of people every month to find the YWAM ministry they are looking for. If you neglected to update your details this year, send an email to the gracious and servant-hearted people at : survey@ywam.org .
We are pleased to be featuring video content on the International YWAMer web-site from www.ywamorganic.org to satisfy your desire for even more YWAM news. You can leave comments on the IY articles to tell us where you have experienced great YWAM hospitality!
