THANK YOU FOR YOURSUPPORT 

A finish and a startThe first Extreme Adventure and Backpackers DTSthat started this past April came to its end this lastThursday evening. Once again young people were

challenged and changed by the power of the Spiritof God. Young people who went out to bring thegood news to the poor and needy, to young

backpackers from different nations traveling

around the world in search for answers. God usesour young people to reach the world around them

whether it is by riding a bike to bring a bible to afamily that has never seen or held a bible or be itthrough a backpacker who carries the word of Godwith them to share the truth of Jesus. What a

blessing to be part of this ministry, to see young

people passionate for what God has for their livesas well as what He can do through their lives.

Last quarter of 2010September has started and with

that the last quarter of 2010. Theyear is almost drawing to a closeand still there is so much bearly

starting for us here in YWAM SanJose. Our July DTS is in full swing

with only a few more weeks of lecture to go and the outreach

around the corner that will be

going throughout central america.Then our September DTS and

Community Development Schoolwill start on the 24th of this month

which will give us a newcommunity of around 35 students,

plus our full time and short term staff members, so we will once again be acommunity of around 80 people on a daily basis.

Always lots of things happening on and off the YWAM base, ministry into the

city downtown, ministring to the prositutes and young girls who are in searchof true appreciation, which they never received at home. Our staff members

are reaching out to them by praying with them and listening to them. Once aweek there is a team of our staff going to minister to the children of different

neigborhoods, doing bible vacation schools and sharing the Love of God with

the upcoming generation.

Towards the end of the yearwe will be building another

home of hope as well, so

there is always lots to do.While there is people who donot know Jesus and do not

have a bible in their homethere is work to be done!!

Personalchallenges…

Lots is happening in our little family as well. As we mentioned in one of our

previous letters our car was taken away from us on July 31st and thesituation is still not resolved. We are still fighting to get our car back and inthe mean time we are trusting the Lord to do a miracle. Also we moved outof our house that we were renting because the Lord had opened the

possibility of building on Giacomo’s parents property, which has been in fullswing since July. We have been living on the YWAM base every since hopingthat tomorrow is the day we finally move. We have had some mayor

setbacks due to the small loan that we had hoped would have been throughby now, but still hasn’t. Would you pray for this to come through soon.

Then Marjolein had hernia surgery in her stomach this past Tuesday so she is

on bedrest for a little while longer, but God send a friend from Holland to

help for one month. In the mean time the kids are still going to school andwe are hoping to move soon and things are still not in place. Would you prayfor us. The unsettledness is starting to wear on us a little bit by now. The

kids needs more structure and we can’t offer that now so we need to see God

do some miracles. We appreciate all your prayers as well for our finances aswe are being challenged in every way. But God doesn’t ever do anything

without a reason. Thank you for standing with us!!

Thank you again for your prayers forour family we appreciate your

friendship and support that help usto do what God has called us as a

family to do!!

Giacomo, Marjolein, Gioela,
