YWAM Together

Sept 2, 2023

Yesterday at the venue where YWAM is gathering together Sept 3-6, I experienced a vision that added detail over time. The story unfolded like a time-lapse of plant blooming or a seed sprouting out of the ground at amazing speed.

From nothing, hundreds of woody and thin vine tendrils sprung up out of the ground, forming a green blanket. Vines united, holding hands or swirling together like three strands of a rope. Groupings of vines together formed a massive leafy hut with fragrant blooms. I felt wonder and awe at the creative beauty and unity that appeared. Thousands and thousands of colored blooms wafted an exciting and undefinable fragrance. I also sensed fruit which later made a wine that would thrill any wine master.

This image came to me inside this massive auditorium, where different tribes and nations are gathering to once again listen as a group to our Savior’s words.

The picture is of the media team who will be taking video, interviews, and/or still images. We have among us those whose lives would be in peril because of certain government or regional views of Christians would put them into prisons or worse. So I blacked out the one who is from such a place. There are others with stories like this, to the point spouses or children are murdered. Together we bring hope into their lives, about a kingdom where this will not happen any longer.
