OUR HEART

Compass for 2024

Navigating our sense of direction is a crucial aspect of our journey. For believers, it is imperative to derive our direction from God. His Word and will should serve as the compass guiding our life.

Entering 2024, we reflected on how God has guided YWAM Lausanne. His words have formed the riverbanks of our calling. Fundamental to this foundation are the Great Commission and the Great Commandments. Jesus' instructions to his disciples; to make disciples of all nations and to love God and neighbour. The realization of these mandates in our lives requires a deep transformation into the image of Jesus.

In addition to drawing direction from God's Word, our guidance stems from how God has led YWAM, encapsulated in our visions, values, and covenants—each embedded in our unique story. Under this umbrella, we follow God to live and work in anticipation of the vision conveyed by the prophet Habakkuk, envisioning a day when "The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea" (Hab 2:14).

Empowered by these guiding principles, we enter the new year filled with faith and hope. This week, we welcomed students from around the world into this transformative context. With expectation, we trust that God will lead us all into all His purposes for YWAM Lausanne in 2024. Your prayers for the journey ahead are greatly appreciated, and we, in turn, pray and trust that God will fulfill His purposes in your life this year.

OUTREACH

Stories from Madagascar

Our French/English DTS is currently on outreach in Madagascar. Over the past four weeks, they have been actively serving the community.

A remarkable highlight of our outreach was a unique opportunity to reach out to tribal communities. Landing in a village with a population of a thousand people, we were able to provide essential medical care and dentistry services. We experienced God's presence in extraordinary ways.
