YWAM PA

As the years pass by, the grace of God becomes more amazing. At the end of each year I realize I have not kept the Commandments completely, nor the rules the church has added so I can better keep the Commandments.

What a joy to know the grace of God has saved me and now has kept me these many years. What a thrill to know God loved us while we were still sinners, sent His only Son to die on the cross and be our substitute Lamb, to wash away our sin and cleanse us from all unrighteousness and to keep on cleansing us.

David understood the grace of God better than most, I believe and therefore, God spoke of David as a man after His own heart. David realized God actually “liked” him. “Howbeit the Lor God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever: for He has chosen Judah to be the ruler: and the house of Judah, the house of my father: and among the sons of my father He liked me to make me king over Israel.” I Chronicles 28:4 KJV

Sometimes it may be difficult to believe; God our Father really likes me. Dare to believe God likes you and has chosen to display His love to you.

We have the greatest message to take to the world, God’s marvelous grace given to us. This is the reason we continue to train people and send them to the nations with this wonderful message. May your journey throughout the remainder of the year be fruitful and prosperous as you live in the grace of God.

-David and Miriam Bauman

Your love is before my eyes; I walk guided by your faithfulness.
Psalm 26:3

As we are progressing through the scheduled TESOL schools this year, we can see the guiding of God’s faithfulness. We believe every student who comes has been hand picked by God for His purpose. In every school we see God’s faithfulness in bringing students with whom we can network in other areas of the world to see the Gospel of salvation proclaimed. As of this writing, graduates have gone from our base in Lebanon, PA to 96 different nations. The 97th nation is waiting in the wings and will go as soon as a visa is granted. We are asking God for 100 nations by the end of the year. Gaze with us at God’s love, and see where His faithfulness guides you.

Pray for wisdom as we continue to grow in numbers of students and staff. This requires more space in the kitchen and dining room, classrooms and bedrooms.

Pray for a uniting and blending of present and incoming staff so the glory of the Lord will be seen among the nations.

We invite you to help us pay the remaining mortgage by the end of the year. This will enable us to enlarge the facility without adding to this debt. Al donations are tax deductible and can be sent to:

Jeff and his family have been serving with YWAM Kyiv, Ukraine. While visiting the States this past summer it was discovered that their fifteen-year- old son had contracted latent TB while serving in orphanages. Through this, other circumstances and the prayers of many it was clear that the family would be returning to the United States to begin a new season. God soon revealed that the family would be coming to serve with YWAM Lebanon. Jeff, who completed his CDTS with us in 2005, will assist the directors in administration while continuing to raise awareness and support for Mercy Trucks Ukraine, the ministry he started with YWAM Kyiv, Ukraine. He will also be working with US churches and ministries to develop relationships with ongoing works in Ukraine.

Praise God for answering our prayers on behalf of Miwuh Nkonquili from Cameroon and Marlene Truss from Australia, giving both visa extensions. This is a miracle from God and a great blessing to us at YWAM Lebanon!

Learning a new language can be a very challenging and stressful process. The goal of this ESL class is to remove some of that anxiety by providing a relaxed environment for learning and practicing English communication skills. This is obtained through community living with people of various nationalities intermingled with native English speakers. Our ESL program includes classroom instruction, creative activities, projects, outings, and participation in community events. Special emphasis is given to speaking and listening skills. In addition, the strong Christian environment of everyday life here at the YWAM base is life-changing to many students.
