God Will Travel - NO ONE is Ever Too Far Away (an interview with a YWAM'er.)

May hope arise and faith be fueled ...

On today’s episode...


I have a chat with an incredible young woman named Petra, who felt the call to travel from the cold snowy mountains of the South Island of New Zealand to the vast, rugged, very hot desert-wilderness known as the Kimberley Region, situated in the far north of Western Australia.

The people in the aboriginal communities in this region lack hope and have minimal access to mental health care and sadly, it has


one of the worst suicide rates in the entire world!

Petra shares about the torment going on inside the building, that her and her very small team rocked up at as well as the incredible transformation that happened within just a few short days.

How did this happen?

And how does one trust God for $7,500 to arrive in a week so one can book flights for such a trip?!

Let hope arise and faith be fueled in your heart as you tune in to this episode on the April May Gems Show today.

I'll also play a beautiful song called Beautiful (by another local YWAM'er) as well as as Mercy Me hit "Where You Lead Me" and a lovely newfound track by a Filipino Norwegian singer/ songwriter – just 22 years old - whose songs have been described as 


“not something you hear but something you feel.”

Thanks for listening

Do you have a broken history? What if I told you that you can let it be dead and buried and as it decomposes, it can push up some beautiful roses. (That’s a paraphrased line I stole from Switchfoot’s front man by the way but I love it. )
