April 2015 Newsletter
BECKY MANCINI April Newsletter Hello Friends, April has been a good month. I was able to take some time off to visit friends, who I hadn't seen in some time. It was refreshing traveling a bit and finding time to rest. I did make the transition back to housekeeping this month at the YWAM base too. I feel fortunate to be part of this department again. Its been a nice change and I thank the Lord for the passion He has given me in this area of work. Basma and myself In the very near future I will also start back in Coventry, working with the outreach team there a few days each week. Its exciting being part of an organization that desires to know God and make Him known in all areas of life, be it in the classroom, working in the base kitchen or evangelizing on the streets of Coventry. Serving with YWAM has allowed me the ability to work with different kinds of people from all over the world. Be still and know I am God and I will be exalted among the nations I will be exalted in the earth. Ps 46:10 I met Basma during my DTS. She was one of the first Egyptian christians I had ever met. I had no idea what it was really like to live a life there, especially as a christian. What I knew of Egypt was from the news each night. Early on we shared our stories together. Basma was raised in a christian home, her father had died when she was child and life was not always easy. She did not have a good opinion of muslims as she was almost kidnaped by them as a child. This is a common practice in the muslim world as it is thought that young christian girls could easily be swayed to renounce their faith. Basma found out about YWAM in her late teens and rededicated her life to the Lord around the same time. Her opinion of the world and muslims soon changed. In 2013 she staffed my Discipleship Training School (DTS) and after returning to Egypt for a short season and completing her theology degree there, she came back to work with YWAM in England. Her heart is to evangelize muslims and disciple believers.Working with YWAM is allowing her to do this. I hope to work with her more in the coming months. YWAM really does bring Christians together from all parts of the world. I had started praying about my role living and serving in England, because Basma had asked me to consider working with her here. That particular opportunity did not work out but it did get me thinking about what God could have planed for me in England. I began to pray and seek the Lord on what He would have me do. Before I knew it I was on a plane to the UK. It was the summer of 2014. Each day has been an experience of faith since. What a joy it has been though, serving the Lord and watching Him work in lives. I know this is where I need to be and I trust He will continue to take care of me as I serve here. -Please pray that the Lord would continue to provide for me financially as I serve here. -Pray that I would continue to be faithful with the ‘small things’ as I work as support staff in this season. -Pray that the Lord would give wisdom about the Philippines. My heart is to travel with a team there for an outreach over the summer. I would need a clear door and finances for the trip. Thank you for your prayers and thank you for your continued support. Thank you for standing with me, without it I could not be here. Our God is good! Blessings, Becky Working in the kitchen with friends.
