One of the ways God worked on our base this past year was pushing forward some of our plans to do more with broadcasting.

We always knew that growing in our audio and video capacity would give us a powerful way to reach people around the world, and the pandemic -- which limited our normal in person interactions -- made it vital.

We've come a long way, and now you can be blessed by it too! This screenshot is from the Church Center app, which you can download for free, find YWAM Virginia, and gain access to so much: live worship, videos, teachings, podcasts, events, groups...

Meet us there now!

In December, we invited families to be part of a Pilot Team for a resource we’ve been revising called “Games You Can Pray.”

At its core, Games You Can Pray is a collection of games and activities that you can use to equip a group — like a family — to find creative ways to engage prayer.

Can we let you in on a little secret? The Pilot Team really wasn’t about the resource.

Functionally, the Team was a huge blessing in trying out and sharing feedback on the different games, and the positive responses were encouraging. Their input will lead to a better final resource, but that was a bonus to the true goal:

We believe that if families make a simple, consistent investment in seeking God together, they will see transformation.

So it wasn’t really about the resource, but creating an opportunity for those families to experience God. That’s why we were encouraged when the feedback revealed examples of that happening, such as one family sharing a renewed desire to pray together.

HOW you engage with God is not as important as THAT you engage with Him. Even the simplest things — like a short game you can pray — can lead to the most amazing encounters with the God that loves you. The key is that you took that simple first step.

Interested in trying the resource? Let us know!

This past Saturday, our Family Ministries team hosted a special Advent service in three languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese. People from around the world joined together as "one family" to celebrate Jesus.

Despite technological difficulties, we were able to witness "God with us" during the call, primarily through the testimonies of participants. Here are some of the things they heard from God or shared after a game called "Listening for God":

"It was a real blessing! Regardless of the language, God's message is the same! Praise the Lord!"

"Praise God in all circumstances!! Glory to God in the highest and on earth -- peace, GOOD WILL toward man."

One influential youth pastor shared, "God spoke with me. It was so special!"

A man in Brazil was visibly touched by the time, particularly the closing prayer.

The gathering was God's idea -- revealed during prayer in Spetember -- and how beautiful it was to see Him work in the lives of people in far-apart countries when we stepped in obedience to host it! The same God is inviting you to be used by Him as well, today!

You can watch the Advent Service now through our Vimeo or Facebook!

Did you know that God is a Provider?

Our staff are known to pack up and travel all over to serve; the challenge is finding a way to transport all the bags, worship equipment, tools, and other items we may need.

Dale Mast, a long-time YWAMer, often meets this needs by taking on the tedious task of clearing out our construction trailer, and scouting the base for a safe place to temporarily store the tools.

“God, we sure could use another trailer.”

God is a Provider. He began prompting Dale to press into prayer, giving him words like “blessing”, “community”, and “generosity.” Dale didn’t know how God would work, but knew He would.

For a while, he seemed to keep striking out. On one particularly busy day, God nudged him to email a few more people. Dale didn’t feel like it, but he has learned the importance of obedience.

So it was no surprise when, by the end of the day, someone donated a large 8x14ft commercial trailer and someone else gave a sizable donation for the purchase of another trailer!

Dale’s faith in God as a Provider immediately blessed the Family Ministries team during a large move, and the Virginia Beach team as their DTS team sets off on Outreach!

How might God be Provider for you today?

You’re invited! During a time in prayer months

You’re invited!

During a time in prayer months ago, our Family Ministries team felt a nudge to host a simple advent service for people around the world. Singles, families, young, and old together as “one family.”

We want to invite you to join us this Saturday, December 19th at 10:30am EST (-5 GMT) as we “Celebrate Jesus” together.

It will be short, simple, and hopefully a blessing to you!
