A Call to Action - More YWAM Deaths
Over at the YWAM International Chairman's Team site there is a post written by Lynn Green, the Chairman of Youth With A Mission.We are in the midst of a very difficult time. In the last 8 weeks we have suffered the untimely deaths of 14 YWAMers. In addition to the devastating road accident in Nigeria, we have experienced the loss of YWAM staff who carried much responsibility and leadership in Brazil, Zambia, England and India. YWAM Brazil has also been under great stress due to the public and legal struggle over their work in the Amazon. After months of that battle, Jim and Pam Stier and many of their friends were also the victims of a frightening armed robbery during a celebration at their home.In addition to the deaths of YWAMers in Nigeria there have also recently been deaths in Brazil and one a little while ago in England (Read about that one at Donovan's Blog - A Tribute to a Life Fully Surrendered).
We are battered and bruised. Many of us are deeply grieving the loss of a friend, husband, wife or child and all of us feel the pain because "when one member suffers, we all suffer". We have never known a time like this and we cannot be sure that it is over.
What are we to think of all this? Has the Lord left us exposed? Are we under judgment? How do we respond in such difficult times?
