…I entered YWAM through the initial Discipleship Training School (DTS). It was then that I was challenged to look deep into what was truly in my heart; I saw the beauty from the Lord and the darkness of sin.
This school lasted five months, three in the classroom and two in the mission’s field to the desert of Argentina and to Honduras. We went to orphanages, schools, city plazas, churches,
and homes to lift up His name through drama, worship, preaching, miracles, giving, serving, and the word of our testimony.
At the finish of my DTS Jesus was faithful to give me the next puzzle piece by opening the doors to a second school in YWAM Argentina called the School of Frontier Missions (SOFM).
This school was six months long, split even between time in the classroom and time in outreach to Asia. The focus was anything and everything having to do with transcultural missions; we learned about different religions, how to start ministries, worldviews, how to act and observe when going into new places… and SO much more. But eventually we had to put our learning to the test and we were off to Asia on New Year’s night.
We landed in Hong Kong as a team of four, and from there we entered China. Our Mission: to
intercede and worship our way through China, being a light where there was none. I remember in one city on our first day there we interceded over the city and worshipped the Lord. The next day I woke up to blue sunny skies, a rare occurrence our local contacts told us. To me this was a metaphor of what we were doing throughout China, as though the smog was the suffocating spiritual oppression, and our prayers beat back the gray depression until once again the Son could be seen.
After China we met back up with our team in New Delhi, India. It was great to be with the whole group again! However, we had new challenges ahead of us; being so large of a group we had to learn to move around differently. We walked through the streets in full Indian garb, four boys and eleven women. I was dumbfounded the first time someone asked one of the boys, “So Afghani, how did you get so many wives?” They thought we were a group of rich Afghanis traveling, three-four wives per guy!
Our time in India was amazing, our mission was to make the Lord known, however with each new city that mission looked different; in some places we were doing street evangelism, some places we simply interceded, to some we brought medical help … it was always a new adventure.
We returned to Argentina for our graduation of the SOFM and soon I was on a plane to visit home. But the story doesn’t end there, I’ll be returning to Argentina on June 1st to work as staff in YWAM for two years. To be staff is quite different from a student, it may involve working in the schools we offer, doing the chores around base, office work, translating… aside from our normal jobs there is always something that needs to be done. The one thing that will be the same as a student though is that I will still have to pay for all of my living costs, YWAM is a volunteer run organization.
