The Bridge supports several different missionaries and ministries.

Create Emerge  - YWAM Australia

Create Emerge is a team that exists to connect people with information and understanding about what’s happening in mission. We track stories of people who are being the hands and feet of Jesus in some tough places, and we share the good news of what God is doing in areas that sometimes we only hear bad news about.  We usually go out to different unreached nations to collect stories a couple of times a year, then we spend too many hours to count editing the footage and making videos, and then we go on tour to churches, home groups, youth groups, high schools and Bible schools to share presentations.  Our intention is to use the stories and information God has given us to call into mission those whom God is calling. ’Create Emerge is a team within Create International, a transnational ministry of Youth with a Mission.

“The vision of Create International is to communicate the message of Jesus Christ in ways that people can understand from their cultural and linguistic background, using tools such as dramatic films, evangelistic artwork, websites, and indigenous music & music videos that can be widely circulated and used by church planting teams, local churches, believers, missionaries, and various organizations.”        www.create-emerge.com         www.createinternational.com

The Create Emerge Team -We’re based in Australia, but when we’re in town, most on our team are regular attenders, or good friends of the Bridge.

I am currently serving with OMF on the East side of Bangkok. Our team is working among the poor in our area. I specifically work with women and have recently started a project making hand made cards as a way for the women to provide for their families as well as giving me the opportunity to build relationships with them. I am blessed to work “”Where ’my’ deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet” Frederick Buechner  Please visit our website www.rakchumchon.com  for more information.

 

Saskia – YWAM South Africa

In December 2007, things got a little bleak for me.  I reached that crazy point of crisis where it was like, ”What’s the point of everything? Why do I feel like I should be so much more…”And that’s where some amazing things happen. If you want the full story, you could probably ask me.  And if you don’t that’s cool because I am not looking back, but looking forward.  That’s when I started on a journey that has taken me to eleven different countries in two years. I did my DTS in the rocky mountains of Colorado, with an amazing outreach in Jerusalem, Israel. In September 2008 I joined YWAM Media Village in Cape Town, South Africa and that is where I found my passion. I began working with Human Trafficking out of Media Village, and just this last January we partnered with the Not For Sale Campaign and launched in South Africa.  The Not For Sale Campaign is a movement of people from all different backgrounds and skill levels working together to create lasting change around the issue of modern day slavery. With 27 million people enslaved today in cities all around the world, human trafficking has become the issue of today’s generation. Not For Sale Campaign and YWAM have partnered together to create a greater impact, visit www.ywamisnotforsale.org to learn more about how YWAM bases can become Not For Sale!
