BSN student's testimony


It's been a great year for the BSN Students. The last day of lecture is Wednesday, January 31st. Teams begin leaving for their BELT outreaches on Thursday. Here is what one of our students, Clinton is saying. Clinton, age 32, is married with a beautiful little girl.

"For the past 4 months I have been sitting in lectures learning about the most amazing book in the world, written by the most amazing person out of this world. I have fallen in love with God and the bible more than ever. For 14 years now I have been waiting for the very thing that I am doing right now. For the past 14 years I have always felt there was more to Christianity. I was unsure and insecure in my understanding of God and what he had called me to. I was serving the Lord out of loyalty and obedience, but now I am serving out of understanding and love. The BSN has opened my eyes to the Lord, His plans for the earth, and the wealth of TRUTH that is available or me to find in the bible. This training has also given me the tools to dig deep into the word. Have you ever had the old "light blub go on"? Well, I feel like I am sitting in a room full of floodlights. So many thoughts and ideas, presuppositions and beliefs of mine have been challenged and are now in line with what the bible really says. I am eternally grateful to the BSN staff and to my Father for leading me into such an awakening. I am really looking forward to giving what I now know to those who may not know."

We are happy to share with anyone interested more specific content and teachings from the school. Please let us know if you are interested in learning more for your own personal growth.

Sarah's Mom makes jewelry to help raise money



Dear Seykora Ministry Team,

pictures.aol.com/galleries/kf51504
The above link is a gallery of pictures of the jewelry I've made. I'm selling this jewelry to support Josh and Sarah in the work God has called them to do.

Please feel free to take a look at the jewelry - which by the way, is everchanging. You may view "each picture" or you can view in a slide show. In the slide show, you can stop and start again anytime you want. Information and cost is below each picture. You may email me with any orders - email address is listed in the profile at the top of the gallery and on each picture. If I can hand deliver any orders I will, if not, I can mail by first class or priority mail only.

Remember, any thing you purchase is a gift to further God's kingdom!
Thanks for your consideration.

africa and indonesia update

Thanks to all of you who have been praying. We are so pleased to report that things are really coming together for these two trips. We are also fully funded thanks to many of you for praying and giving to God's dreams over these nations! For more details on these trips we wish to communicate with you directly so the detail of information on our site is limited.

Indonesia BELT Course: Transformation Series 1 & 2We are happy that our time in Indonesia looks fruitful and they are excited about us coming. We are partnering with another ministry on base who has been key in getting us organized with the local church over there. Please pray for continued diligence in communication in the city over there so that many pasters and leaders of the churches will get connected into our seminar. Pray for unity of our team and for wisdom as we prepare and organize teachings.

Central/Eastern Africa Scouting TripTickets and itnerary is being planned. Due to political situations in a few of these nations, we are looking at the safest and wisest way to cross borders etc. Please pray for wisdom and for God to really pave the road (literally) with the power of the Holy Spirit. Pray for diligence for Pasters and key individuals to be able to meet at the schedule is tight. Josh and the team leaves in about three weeks.

So what do we do?

We are partnering with YWAM Perth, in Western Australia. We will be staffing the Bible School for the Nations (BSN) and the Biblical Education and Leadership Training ministry (BELT).
"The purpose of the BSN is to mobilize Bible trainers who are growing in their ability to effectively disciple nations. The school seeks to cultivate people of godly character who are deepening in their love for God, and who understand His character and how He brings about His purposes in history." (www.ywamperth.org.au/bsn/)

Our responsibilities with the school will consist of teaching the Bible and mentoring the students. We will also continue to learn a lot ourselves and be stretched as we continue to study the lessons we'll be teaching. Sarah will also be involved with media projects for the school and also for the BELT ministry.

The BELT (Biblical Eduation and Leadership Training) ministry is partnered with the Bible School, and we will be actively involved in this as well. This is the same outreach ministry that we participated with in Papua New Guinea.
The purpose of BELT is to see people groups transformed by the Word of God through empowering community and church leaders who have limited access to Biblical training.

Please see the 'related links' link above and to the right.

Sarah is part of the leadership team for the media department with YWAM Perth. She teaches on the BSN occasionally, and participates in BELT seminars, but her main focus, besides caring for Noah, is media. Medias vision is to serve the many ministries and schools of YWAM Perth. There is consistent need for printed, web and video tools to help further the Kingdom of God! Sarah is responsible for helping give feedback on the many projects that the staff are working on, as well as doing projects her self and teaching the staff from time to time. She really hopes to see Media grow and reach the many visions that God has spoken over the media ministry with YWAM Perth.

be a partner through devoted prayer

Remember when King Hezekiah prayed and God answered him, granting him 15 more years to his life (Is.38:4-6)? We remember the disciples, 'continually devoted to prayer' in Acts1:13-15. The Bible tells us to pray and present our requests to the Father.

The truth is, God hears our prayers and he does respond according to his infinite wisdom. Over the past year, it's been so evident how the Lord has answered the many prayers of our partner's in ministry. At times we've really had to 'press in' and wait on Him, but He is always faithful.

You can play and active role in this ministry by joining our devoted prayer team and seeing nations transformed. Please contact us and we'd be happy to add you to our mailing list!

become a financial partner

All of our monthly fiancial needs with YWAM are met by faith based support. YWAM does not pay us to work. Our work is technically volunteer. When we left our well paying corporate jobs over a year ago, the Lord took care of us through the cheerful giving of individuals and the church. We have faith that God will continue to provide all of our needs. He is faithful.

We are currently trusting for continued montly and quarterly partnerships (individuals and churches) to help us reach our montly budget (50% of our budget goes towards outreach field costs). If you would like to be involved please contact us. A list of our detailed budget is available upon request.

Thank you for your faithful, continued partnerships.
God Bless you as you work along side of us.
