New YWAM.org WebSite

We're excited to announce that we've just launched a new version of YWAM.org. Please have a look and tell us what you think.

This new YWAM.org offers:

* A simple design focused on helping visitors take action.

* A smartphone and tablet-friendly layout. The site will shrink to fit almost any device.

* A map that shows all public YWAM locations.

* New content areas such as Know God, Make God Known, For Parents, and For YWAMers.

* A lot more personal touch. We now provide a thank-you email to everyone who inquires and our Help Desk team seeks to answers questions within 48 hours.

We're grateful to God for the team that came together to produce the new YWAM.org. The site was created by YWAMers and former YWAMers who built on the work of the team who made the previous YWAM.org. A group of 26 people worked on the site, ranging in age from 23 to 83, and located in nine YWAM locations in six countries.

Update from YWAM Dehradoon Disaster Relief Team

The first teams from YWAM Dehradoon that responded to the floods in Lamabgarh has returned back to their YWAM centre. Enough relief material is reaching the area and what is needed now is the rebuilding of roads, bridges, schools, and everything else that the floods washed away. As with most disasters the poor have been affected the most ...

There are many poor people in the villages, some of their husbands and kids are tour guides: In one village alone 9 children and 3 men died in the floods. The men all had families with young children. Every village has their own story, and now there are many young widows in the area around Kedarnath.

The tourism industry is badly affected and that was the livelihood for many. Kedar nath has been closed for the season and many are left without income. Relief will come for 2-3 months but when their money finishes there will be no job for them. No income means children will lose out on education as the parents can’t afford to send them to school. This will impact them for life!

While the teams are returning from the Lamabgarh region other teams are heading to the Uttarkashi area that was affected by the same storms. The storms caused damaged and flooding in that region and the teams will be conducting a survey in the area to see how they can best help.
