During my six months of staffing at YWAM Madang, I had the privilege of teaching and tutoring at an amazing school. I also served as a missionary coordinator for teams visiting our base in Madang. This role included guiding mission teams to the school, where we taught the children Bible stories, shared basic medical knowledge, and even led discipleship classes for the teachers.
These are just a few of the street kids who lived near me while I was in Madang, Papua New Guinea. I loved these kids with all my heart, and I long to be with them again, God willing.
While I was at the YWAM base in Madang, it was important to me to build relationships with people outside the “YWAM Christian bubble.” I knew God had more for me to do in this city.
Even while living on a missionary budget, I used whatever extra money I had to buy food, water, and clothes for the street kids and their families.
I pray they know that Jesus is looking after them, that they are truly loved by their Lord and Savior, and that I was simply a vessel, called to be His hands and feet.
