El Salvadorian Students Seeking God for their Future

How Will We Tell the World?

Written by brooke

We live in a fast moving world. Words and images are constantly being flashed before our eyes. In today’s society, it’s possible for everyone to have their own TV channel, (youtube) their own personal news report, their own opinions and creativity thrown out there for the whole world to see. This is a time where you can talk “face to face” with someone on the other side of the world in seconds, where you no longer need to leave your living room for thousands to see your talent.

What are we doing with the resources of our age?

Everyone seems to have a message: buy my products, listen to my music, believe my idea, and somehow your life will be better.

As Christians, we have the greatest message of all: how will we tell the world?

Here at YWAM Woodcrest, we believe that God is a creative God and that He gave us passion to create along side of Him. In that past, that may have been limited to the written word, watercolors and woodcarvings, but now, the possibilities are endless. Arts and Media speak in a language that goes beneath the skin and straight to the soul. Video, music and words, all flow together to speak of hope and love and life.

We have the resources to speak to the hearts of the world. Let’s learn how to best use those resources, begin to flow creatively in our gifting and talents- and reach the world for Christ.

We still have openings for our Communication Discipleship Training School in September, as well as our School of Writing. Apply today, or call and talk to one of us about this opportunity to be trained in what you love to do, and change the world!

"Yes Lord, I will Go!"

Written by Joel

When I was thirteen, I heard my grandfather T.C. Cunningham preach a message saying, "Are you ready to say 'Yes God, I will go wherever you want me to go and do whatever you want me to do'?"

Active Image

That night I stood with tears in my eyes - ignoring for once what my friends might be thinking. I chose to lay down my plans and dreams that night... unaware that the true dreams of my heart were just starting to be accomplished.

I gave this same message last night to a group of young people who had come to our concert overlooking the city of San Salvador. While I was sharing, I asked a boy I'd met before the concert to come forward. With the same timidity I had myself at 11 years of age, the boy came and stood on stage before the crowd.

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" I asked through our translator.

"Missionario" he smiled.

God had touched his heart and the hearts of many others that night in a very special way. I'm sure he will remember for years to come... as I still do so many years after making my own decision to accept God's call.
