Hello everyone!We are the Amsterdam Team 2010! This trip began as a dream that we had to travel to the city and work with the people there...and now this dream had become a reality and we are leaving on May 24th. We are going to be staying at the YWAM base in DePoort which is about a 20 minute walk from the Red Light District. We will be working with a missionary family there, the Kollars, and we are also partnering with YWAM's two ministries in the red light: the Tabernacle and the Lighthouse. The Tabernacle is a 24/7 prayer and worship house where we will be able to partner with them to worship, intercede for the city, and create art. The Lighthouse is a street ministry that focuses on sex trafficking and reaching the prostitutes in the red light. We will be helping to renovate the building of the ministry as they are fairly new and many changes are happening.
We are really excited to see how God is going to use us as we go. Our heart is to serve the missionaries and ministries that are there long term and to encourage and bless them as they work every day in the city of Amsterdam.
We have some prayer requests as we prepare and plan for our trip:
- for team unity as we draw closer to one another in our relationships and begin to work together
- for protection as we prepare ourselves: heart, mind, body, and spirits
- for continued favor with the people of Amsterdam that we will encounter and be working with
- provision for our finances
How exciting!!!!! I am praying for your safety, your health and that you light up the darkness that you may encounter there and be an insiration to each other - on the team- and to strangers that may soon become friends. I love you! WHOOOO-HOO!!!!
