You’ll notice that we posted pictures of the base fun day we had yesterday. Every quarter we get everyone together that is associated with YWAM Danshui Taiwan and we do something fun. Yesterday we took a ferry across the river to a park where we played (or in my case watched) football and ultimate frisbee. It had been raining that morning so of course there was lots of slipping and sliding in the mud. Eventually it just became a big mud war, clothes were ruined, but memories were made :)
We were thinking that as a faithful friend who reads our blog regularily and wants to know what we are up to, you may not quite understand the whole concept of this particular ywam base. Every base is different, but this one has a unique blend of training, community work and international ministries. We all live in the same area and get together on monday mornings to learn more about God, worship together etc. We also share office space and try to partner together to help each other accomplish goals. Some of the different things that people are involved with here are: DTS (the entry level training school for YWAM), SBS (about 35 students in this bible training course right now), Frontier missions (staff who look after encouraging and supporting missionaries working on the frontlines in Asia), International Publications (coordinating YWAM Asia’s communication), The Rock Coffee bar (where we teach English and provide Taiwanese students with a place to hang out and build relationships), Chinese language study, University ministry, and of course, not to forget TITUS PROJECT :) There are probably others I am forgetting but as you can see, YWAM Danshui Taiwan is a busy base with lots of people who are accomplishing some great things!
Hopefully this gives you a better understanding of our world here in Danshui… What’s going on your world? We would love to hear!!
