Reviving the YWAM Blog

After a long time of silence and many struggles, it is time to revive the YWAM Blog. To make a long story short, since I returned from South Africa to Holland it has been tough. Many things didn't turn out as I expected and I had to deal with a lot of dissappointments. Now I don't want to get into the details of that, maybe later.

The thing is that.. tomorrow I will be back with YWAM. At least for the next three months, possibly longer. I decided to join the FCM (Foundations for Counseling Ministries), which is a school of the University of the Nations (UofN) that focuses on training people for counseling ministries.

So how did I get the idea of joining this school? As many already know I did a couple of schools with the UofN already. I got trained for Evangelism, Worldviews and Biblical Studies. Now the focus is Counseling.  

How did that come about? The last few years I have been in a difficult process myself and have received counseling for quite some problems, of which the main one is an addiction to porn. Slowly I am getting out of the grip of this addiction. One thing that I found tough was to find help, it took me much longer than necessary. This made me realize that there is such a big need for people who are bold enough to speak up and who tackle this issue. People who are willing to offer the help that is so necessary. And I am willing to throw myself into that. This is why I want to get trained and become a voice for the ones who are not heard or seen.

With the reviving of this blog I want to write and share as much as I can to tell you about what I learn, but also to share more about the struggles and other issues that I encounter. And I certainly appreciate any responds, any questions, any suggestions, prayers and even invitations to chat. So let me know. My door is open.
