Maddy did her DTS in Lausanne a few years ago, then she went for some additional training with YWAM in a Bible school called the Discipleship Bible School. Since then, she has been serving at YWAM Lausanne in this same program and loving it! We also love it! Having other YWAMers in our family, here in Europe, is so much fun as every once in awhile, our paths cross!
Titus Project Heidebeek 2026
It is hard to believe that Ben and I ran our first Titus Project in Europe 16 years ago. And yet, we still get to see the fruit of some of the early seasons. Ben and I were invited to teach in the School of Biblical Studies in Sweden. I was teaching Ezra and I got down on my knees and begged the students that when they graduated, to take an extra 3 months and learn how to teach the Bible. There was a girl named Seraina from Switzerland in that classroom and she took the challenge. If you watch this little video we filmed today, you can find out her story of what happened from that time.
The participants we are training now are really excited to go and give what they have learned away in the nations. We will send out 3 teams with 4-5 people on each one. They will each go to two countries: Netherlands/Taiwan, Albania/Italy, and Indonesia/Philippines. They have a few more weeks of training yet, but here are a few photos
We also have time to have fun and go for walks in the forest. And the family is still doing well at home. Playing games, going to school, playing basketball! Tomorrow I go home, but Titus goes on for the next few months.
Thank you for all your prayers and support of our work!
A young German’s missionary calling
Nadja is a young, beautiful woman of the Lord who desires to see Germans discipled in God’s word. I taught in her pioneering School of Biblical Studies and asked her to share with me a tiny bit of her motivation for running this school.
It was an idea one day during worship
We were back in Canada and as I was singing some songs to Jesus, this idea popped in my head. How could I introduce people at home to the people we minister to? We always try a variety of methods to communicate, but this would be something a little bit different. Instead of long video updates, I would interview people that I teach with just a couple of questions. Keep the videos under 2-3 minutes, and let those who send us meet those we work with. So this was my first attempt. I still need to buy a tripod (my phone is balanced on a table) to hopefully get the angle and quality a little better, but still, this is start.
Enjoy!
