Still things roll on with the 2012 Olympics and it would be great if you could all pray about the YWAM boat Next Wave getting the only berth left in Weymouth harbour for the sailing side of the 2012 Olympics. The local churches have to put together a proposal to say why the boat should be there to convince the local council. YWAM very much want to use the boat to serve the area and serve the Olympics so it would bring a team who would be willing to volunteer for other things, would be a safe place of hospitality, and would be willing to just be there for people.
The proposal needs to be in very soon and the local churches seem to be having trouble just finding the time as well as running their churches. Something I think happens so often in local church; one goes into survival mode and cannot see that bigger picture, but that is for another blog :)
My son Ben served on it for 4 weeks when it was first here in the UK back in 2006 so we do have a connection with it. And Brian Sloane, the man in charge, has said he'd like me to be involved in the planning of things if the boat gets accepted. This would be a great chance of us to reconnect with YWAM and find a space to serve our country at this amazing time.
I really do feel that 2012 is a significant year and that there is something in that Mayan prophecy which the movie 2012 was based on. I don't think the world will end like that but I do think something significant will happen, maybe on the lines of the Gutenberg Press which changed the way people lived and view the world back in 1436!!
