YWAM Mendoza

Sadly, Argentine Airlines cancelled Friday's flight(!!!) and so I am unable to visit and see for myself the way YWAM Mendoza ( Youth with a mission - a young people's missionary model originating in the USA) and reliant upon their website which speaks of various engagement strands including:

Counselling Ministry

¨Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.  It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.¨   Revelation 22:1-2

Our vision is to form, equip and train leaders and counselors in the healing and restoration of people, families, communities and areas of society.  We make known God´s heart for counseling through giving from what we have received and experienced through Him.

Areas of society that we aim to affect are:  hospitals, prisons, rehabilitation centers, children´s homes, homes for the elderly, people living on the streets, mental health institutions, neighborhoods, churches, communities, and families.

Our ministry offers:

External and internal seminars- 1st, 2nd, 3rd levels

Training and Prevention workshops

Discipleship Training School (DTS) with Counseling focus

External Counseling School

Internal Counseling School

A project that we would like to see in the future is establishing a home to accompany those suffering from violence and abuse, those who are coming out of prostitution, addictions, families with severe dysfunctional issues, single mothers, etc.

Give a "hug"....

A church in Speke (based in its own cafe) gives people "hugs" (personally and prayerfully knitted scarfs wrapped in a clear bag) complete with a personal dedicated card from the knitter. They're (freely) given out to anyone deemed to be in need of a "hug". Know someone who is "down", bereaved, recently divorced or having a hard time? Give 'em a "hug"... Just imagine how many "hugs" our local knitters could produce.....!

CORDOBA - clever, cultured and cold....!

Travelling from the lush tropical rainforest of Iguazu to Argentina's second city, Cordoba, came as something of a shock! Firstly, there were all the usual trappings of a city - traffic, buildings, people, hustle and bustle. (The very comfortable but "simple" hotel was also a bit of a come down! Indeed, intermittent wifi has made sending blogs a challenge but, here we are...!) Although a travel cliche, Cordoba really is a fascinating mix of old and new... 17th century ecclesiastical buildings stand next to the latest shopping centres. CLEVER: Indeed, this city boasts a long established academic foundation: Manzana Jesuitica, Argentina's first university (so it claims!). The next door academic establishment, Colegio Nacional de Montserrat, with its baroque exterior walls, may be as old - it all depends on whether you consider the date building began or charters were established! Visiting the university's oldest library and being shown a 17th century bible...

Siarad Cymraeg!

Moving on from Ushuaia to Trelew, Patagonia brought me closer to my final destination in Argentina and, in a strange way, closer "home"...! During my first full day in Trelew (a town established by a certain Mr. Lewis!) I ventured on the local buses to visit two of the main communities in the Chubut valley - Dolavon (a town meaning "river meadow", reflecting the vast network of irrigation channels, waterwheels and fertile land established here) and Gaiman (a name meaning "arrow / stoney point"  not given by the Welsh pioneers who settled here but the earlier native Tehuelche inhabitants who wintered in the area.) Both small, rural communities had a genteel, stately charm, their scattered low rise buildings perhaps reflecting the key priorities of those early settlers - chapels (Tabernacl, Bethel and Bethlehem amongst them), co-operative stores ( for selling produce and acquiring materials imported from home) and railways (quaint stations, tunnels and war...
