My journey wih the King
I am part of a youth ministry with OM South Africa called Younghope. Young Hope is focused on discipling and equiping youth leaders to be effective and relevant in reaching out to young people, we also focus on mobilising young people to become involved in God's great plan for the nations. Should God lay it on your heart to get involved in some way wether it be financially or in prayer please feel free to send me and email at markfwlr380@gmail.com or phone me at +2771 725 8814...God bless you and keep you
About OM- OM (or operation mobilization) is a non-profit organization that sees itself as part of the Church and is focused on strengthening the Church, mobilizing people from all walks of life into world missions. They offer on-the-job short term and long term training and go by land and sea (OM ships), distributing good literature and helping with community development as well as aid and relief where needed. OM is also committed to planting churches, focusing especially on the least evangelized parts of the world and within people groups that have never heard the beautifull Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. For more information about them visit http://www.om.org/ or OM South Africa at http://www.omsa.org.za/
About training- From February till July of 2010 I participated in OM South Africa’s Missions Discipleship Training program or MDT-training and lived in community with 74 other trainees from 16 different countries. During these six months we were given hands on training in world missions, evangelization, discipleship, children’s ministry, Aids ministry, youth ministry, biblical leadership etc. We also received lectures on topics such as The Father heart of God, Christian basics, missions, world religions etc. During these six months we participated in three different outreaches- rural, inner-city and the ultimate goal world cup outreach.. More information about the MDT-training program can be found at http://www.omsa.org.za/
My calling- It was during the outreaches that God revealed to me His heart for the youth and the young people of my generation and how He was going to use the young people of my generation to change the course of History. So in asking God what he wanted me to do next I received Acts 1:8-But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” It looked like I had to cancel my own plans of wanting to serve God abroad. I then got offered to join a youth ministry which will start within OM South Africa called Younghope. So that will be my Judea for the next two years, working with Younghope across South Africa ministering to the broken youth of my country.

Who am I?
About me- I am 19 years of age and committed my life completely to Christ in July of 2009 (my matric year), I have given my life to God in 2005 but it wasn’t until 2009 that I completely started living the life of a committed Christian which the best decision I have ever made!!After making that choice I almost instantly received my calling for missions in the form of a dream, then confirmation through various scriptures my key verse being found in Acts 13:47-“For the Lord gave us this command when he said, 'I have made you a light to the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the farthest corners of the earth.'”, and the final confirmation being through an OM traveling team that came and visited at our Church. It was then that I started praying about doing the MDT training in hopes of joining OM’s ship the Logos Hope, but it was during training that God showed me otherwise.
My passion is God and to make Him known wherever it is he chooses to lead me. My dream is that He be glorified in and through my life and if I should die doing that then so be it For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain-Philippians 1:21.
