How to Keep from Burning Out on the Missions Field

* Carpet time (time with God)

The fruit of our ministry needs to come out of our intimacy with Him.

* Put yourself first

Do not make ministry to others all that you do, find something that you like to do and schedule it in to your week. You will find it to be refreshing and a recharge to your energy levels.

* Say No!

Know your own personal capabilities and set healthy boundaries around those capabilities. You will need to say no to some good things so that you are able to do the things that God has for you.

Continue to Pray for South Sudan

Two urgent emails came from Africa today asking for prayer for Malakal, South Sudan. This is where YWAM has had a family pioneering a preschool, DTS and business the last 7 years. The family was evacuated in December due to fighting.

A ceasefire was signed between the government and rebels a few weeks ago. Both sides have accused the other of violating the ceasefire, but most of the large towns and cities have been calm. That was until major fighting broke out in Malakal today.

Pray for God to bring peace to South Sudan. Pray for the plans of the enemy to steal, kill and destroy to be frustrated. Pray that God would bring life and comfort to the millions who have been impacted by this war.

The YWAM teams in Uganda are continuing to help the refugees that have fleed from South Sudan. In addition to helping provide water, foor, and other supplies the teams have started to build selters for the most vulnerable of the people.
