My Timing
This year the main theme was "My Timing” and God was emphasizing His timing in many areas: to be known for who He is, to worship Him, and to surrender all our ideas of how He looks and how He should operate in our lives. We had four main sessions: 1- "At the Altar,”...

Personal debriefing: Do I really need that?
I absolutely love it when dreams become reality, don’t you? In October, a dream of mine became a reality… In recent years, God has been stirring something up in YWAM Europe. “That’s nothing new,” you may say. “We’re YWAM! God is always stirring something up!” Yes,...
Report from the YWAM Frontier Missions Global Leaders Assembly in Egypt
Greece is a place where the unreached meet the Christian world. As well as established churches, we also have ministry work among refugees coming from the Middle East that never heard the gospel before. But, there are also many other Muslim populations elsewhere...
ACT meeting in Krakow
In October, our Central European Area Circle Team (ACT) met in Krakow, Poland. We hadn't met in person since 2019 (we are zoom experts though!) and had added a few new people since then, so it really was great for us to get together again. Here we are in one of...
The Kingdom of God in Business!
My husband and I grew up in communist Bulgaria. I remember the first years after the fall of the wall – interesting times. God was moving in the country. The Mafia flourished too. Christians had to learn to live...
