What Our People Are Saying

I was blessed to be a part of the YWAM Madang team which consisted of 5 guys and a 3 1/2 week trip. Our mission was to start construction on a build-out inside an existing steel building which will eventually be offices for bible translation, a recording studio, a big worship room and more.

However the materials for the project were being held up at the port due to improper management,but we were able to get the the building ready for the materials and also did a lot of small projects at the Ywam base.

We also had the opportunity to join weekly outreach which consisted of street ministry and evangelism. The harvest is ripe in Papua New Guinea and people are very receptive to the gospel! It was an incredible privilege to see what God is doing in this nation and to be able to work alongside the people of Papua New Guinea and build lasting friendships that won't be forgotten.

Papua New Guinea is quite a unique and beautiful country, and the people there are very friendly and loving. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone!!

I was blessed to have the opportunity to go to Alaska with Flashpoint Missions to work on putting up an addition for "In His Shadow Ministries" in Healy!

It was a short two weeks with lots of adventures! My highlight of the trip was definitely how we started each day with group devotions, being able to hear and share about what God was doing in all of our lives.

Something that has stuck with me ever since is that God is not against us, he means what he says to us and what he says is true and he is always faithful.

If you are thinking about going with a Flashpoint team, just go, you won't be disappointed. It seems every time I have served alongside them i have received more than I could ever give and I am truly grateful for that as it has changed my life in so many ways!

 " Nestled between India and China lies a small country called Nepal. And in Nepal is a children's home where my team and I were blessed to stay for two weeks while in Nepal to help build a large pavilion for fellowship meals after church services."

" The founder Pastor V is an amazing person who has dedicated his life and work for the past 30 years to the glory of God! This has been an experience of a lifetime to go to a third world country and help these people in building more on the church facility that Pastor V has started solely on donations from around the world."

" I myself will be forever changed! It's a reality check to know that the God we serve and love is not only here where we live in America but also halfway around the world."

Working with Flashpoint has been my highlight in the past year and I want to give a huge shoutout to all the people working behind the scenes helping things flow smoothly. One thing that I have noticed to be a theme throughout Flashpoint projects is that by the time they get back, the volunteers’ lives seem to be touched as much as the people they went to help! I have heard countless stories of the amazing work that God has done in people’s hearts and lives through Flashpoint trips. I believe that when we open our hearts to the idea that our lives aren’t really our own, but God’s, and we chose to serve others with our lives, we open the door to so much more of what God wants to teach us and bless us with. 

God bless you all as you seek first the kingdom of God!

 Greetings Friends, as I sit here this morning beside the lake with snow capped mountains in the background, there is a stirring in my soul that I cannot explain. I think of the people who will read this and I think of two songs: "Never Once" by Matt Redman and "One step away from the Lord" by the Schwartz Family, knowing that we all are on a journey thousands of miles apart but only one step away from the Lord and knowing we never walked alone! 

We left Lancaster PA early Thursday and traveled 4000 miles to North Pole, Alaska with lots of conversations and laughter, wild fires, and bears! My team arrived at Victory Bible Camp on Monday afternoon and tore some of the roof off and reshingled about 90 sq ft of roof along with lots of good conversation. It feels great to do physical labour after so many miles of travel! We completed all the work they planned for us in the first week so we are still figuring out the schedule for next week.

Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, to him be all honor and glory.

 As a frequent volunteer with Flashpoint Missions I first of all say thank-you to Desh and family and the rest of the Flashpoint staff for all their efforts. I am ever grateful for the many opportunities i have had to partner with them it has had such and impact on my life. I never want to take for granted the opportunity to spend time away from what's normal in my life and to be able to do it with fellow believers has been such a blessing to me. And as a volunteer I have had the incredible opportunity to witness first hand some of the ways Gods Kingdom is being furthered through Flashpoint to Him be all glory. To not only see the impact the various projects have logistically but far more important the souls of people, especially in the hearts of the volunteers. If you are thinking of volunteering with Flashpoint i could not recommend it enough! I can personally say it will truly be a blessing to you as you give of your time and resources.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works ,which God prepared before hand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10.

May all we say and do glorify our Lord and Savior.
