## OUR HEART

### Apostolic Missional Learning Community

Dear Friends,

We were thrilled last week to welcome 88 students from 13 nations to YWAM Lausanne. They've arrived to engage in four UofN courses we are offering. Each YWAM training location is an apostolic missional learning community. As an apostolic community, we are led by the word of the Lord. We are missional to our core. We aim to spread the Gospel to the nations. We partake in this through a learning mode most referred to as discipleship. The context for all three of these concepts is a community, we live out all three as a community.

In anticipation of the new quarter, we dedicated time to delve into the concept of "learning," or as it is often termed, discipleship. Despite its familiarity, we mustn't lose sight of its profound meaning. Fundamentally, a disciple is an apprentice of Jesus, undergoing training to emulate His life in our world. While at times we may expect this to just happen to us, true apprenticeship calls for deliberate intentionality. As disciples of Jesus, we're committing to organizing our lives around apprenticing under Him. This intentionality begins at the individual level and ripples throughout our whole community at YWAM Lausanne. Our aspiration is that upon arriving in our midst, students encounter tangible examples of practices and life rhythms that can form them into a person of love in Christ. We aim to follow the model of Jesus who invited his disciples to come and see, and then sent them out to go, do, and tell!

At YWAM Lausanne we long to develop that quiet inner life that is shaped through walking with Jesus to become like him and participate in the expansion of his kingdom. It's a privilege to journey alongside the hundreds of students who pass through our apostolic missional learning community each year. We're profoundly grateful for your prayers and encouragement, which significantly contribute to the effectiveness of our ministry.

Our most recent evangelism outreach in the city led to many fruitful conversations, even one soul coming to Christ! This event, "Kingdom Come", is hosted every three months in Ouchy, one of the busiest and most beautiful areas in our city.

Thank you!
