ANNUAL REPORT 2016 YWAM KONA<br />

NEPAL<br />

Another team trudged through the winter weather carrying loads of Bibles<br />

to a different Himalayan village. When they arrived they set up a solar-powered<br />

projector and showed the Jesus Film. An audience of about 200<br />

formed to watch this film in their own language. The next day the team<br />

went throughout the village to the people they had met the previous night<br />

and distributed the Bible, both written and audio. As the young missionaries<br />

wove their way through the village they met a woman who appeared to<br />

be having an asthma attack and they wanted to pray for her. The translator<br />

took a moment to share her own story of how she had once been a follower<br />

of another religion but had met Jesus. Even as the woman fought to<br />

breathe, she barraged them with questions. The woman began to cry, “How<br />

can I have a relationship with Jesus?” In response, the team prayed with<br />

her to receive Jesus into her life and as soon as they finished the woman<br />

gasped and air filled her lungs. She could suddenly breathe freely and the<br />

asthma was completely gone! The woman's entire countenance changed as<br />

she was filled with joy and peace. The team gave her a Bible and told her<br />

about how she could get to know Jesus through His Word.<br />

THAILAND<br />

In Thailand, we got the opportunity to visit an old woman<br />

living in a Chinese village near the ThailandMyanmar<br />

border. Our ministry host has been visiting her for several<br />

years, and told us a little bit about her story. She has been<br />

a believer for around 15 years, and came to know Jesus<br />

after her late husband passed away. Her and her husband<br />

immigrated to Thailand many years ago, and settled in the<br />

Chinese village where she now lives with her children and<br />

grandchildren. There is no church in her village. Our ministry<br />

host shared with us that it is very likely that this woman<br />

is one of the only believers in this area. Since she cannot<br />

read and does not have a church nearby to attend, she was<br />

extremely grateful for the audio Bible we gave her!<br />
