Team Nepal

Hey Everyone!
Our team had a great 3 months of training here at the Marine Reach YWAM base in New Zealand and we're ready to share what we've learned! We've learned a lot about ourselves and about God in line with YWAM's mission to "Know God and Make Him Known." We have had some amazing speakers, gone on some wild adventurous hikes and now we're ready to tackle the next big adventure! We are going to Nepal to reach out to those who haven't heard the Gospel and encourage the believers there. We'll be there for the next 7 weeks, leaving January 4 and returning February 21. As a team we're already really close and can't wait to share the next season together. On our team are Bradley Young, Charlotte Jensen, Sumaya Abdeen, Alex Bava, Kenzie Muir, David Payne, Cody Warren, and Jeff and Erin Burton. Below is a brief introduction for those of you who don't know them yet.

My name is Bradley Young and I am one of the leaders on team Nepal! I am a New Zealander born and raised, and did my DTS in July 2013. It has been such a blessing to be staffing this school, and following Jesus has been the most best, and exciting decision of my life! I am pumped to see what he is going to do in Nepal.

Hi, my name is Charlotte and I am from Denmark. Together with Bradley, I am leading this team to Nepal. I have never been there before, but I really felt like God wanted me to go there, so if that is where He wants us, that is where we will go. I am excited to meet new people, experience the culture (since it is very different from what I am used to), but most of all I am excited to see what God is doing in Nepal, and be a part of His great plan in this country.



Hi everyone! My name is Sumaya Abdeen, and I'm from the Netherlands! Coming to this DTS in New Zealand, was one of the best decisions in my life. I love travelling and enjoying the creation of God! I'm so thankful I got the chance to be here and learn more of God and meet those awesome people. I look forward what God has for us in Nepal. One thing is sure; It's going to be awesome! 

Hola!
I'm Alex and I'm from California. I'm so looking forward to this outreach! Getting to know people in Nepal for two months is going to be epic! God has worked some miracles in my life for sure during this DTS. I am always up for an adventure and am so excited to see what He's going to do next! 








Hello, my name is Kenzie Muir and I'm Canadian. I traveled to New Zealand from Taiwan hoping that my relationship with God would grow, and he did that and much more. My team has been blessed with the opportunity to share our faith with the less privileged people of Nepal. 







Hey there!  My name is David Payne and I'm from Southern Illinois!  I came to YWAM looking to experience the Holy Spirit in new ways and He has certainly drawn me nearer to Himself in ways I never could have imagined!  God has clearly led our team to Nepal which excites me and gives me confidence that He is going to do great things!  Life is an adventure but He is the greatest adventure!







Hello, I'm Cody Warren, from Minnesota! This DTS has reshaped my life in every way possible. God has absolutely wrecked my life in an amazing way, and is pouring out more of his restoration power on me every day! I am incredibly excited to see God's power movie in Nepal, and to share the unending love Christ has given to me with the Nepalese people!

Hey, I'm Jeff Burton from Michigan.  My wife and I came on this DTS in New Zealand for different reasons but God has really been renewed in my life.  I am so excited to share the gospel with the people of Nepal and am so pumped to see how God is going to work with us to impact them as well.  God's love for the Nepal people is so strong and I can't wait to demonstrate that to them in our outreach!

Hey Everyone! My name is Erin and I'm from Michigan. My husband Jeff and I came to New Zealand to grow in our relationship with God and with each other and He has exceeded our expectations! We can't wait to take what we've learned and share it with the people of Nepal! We know that God is doing big things around the world and we want to be part of it!
