Early December 2025 heralded the arrival of the YWAM young folk; 11 of them in total. What a joy to be able to host, feed and fellowship together with them. They were truly a tonic to us here in Langebaan. Heaven will record the blessing that they were and we trust they left us feeling refreshed and strengthened to continue their outreach endeavours in South Africa and beyond.

EXTRACT FROM THE YWAM NEWSLETTER
This week we were in Langebaan, a two-hour drive from Cape Town. Our contact there was a local church 'Langebaan christian fellowship' that provided us with accommodation in three different houses.
It was so nice to have different hosts. They were incredibly hospitable and made sure we lacked nothing. The hosts provided us with amazing food, a tour through the town and many ministry opportunitues. It was such a blessing to get to know these people better and to share life with them. They are truly an example of how a church welcomes strangers, an example of how Jesus calls us to care for one another.
We honestly could not have wished for anything better.
Before coming here, we knew we would be running a daycare for five mornings, but beyond that we had no idea what to expect. Once in Langebaan, it became clear that God is at work in this town. In several conversations, people told us they truly felt that God had sent us, which was so encouraging. We had the opportunity to encourage people and to share the love of Jesus. In addition, Langebaan is a great spot for kitesurfing. The water is flat, which makes it easier, and everyone on the team had breakthrough sessions and can now stand on the board for longer periods of time. Jesse and John — who is now part of our outreach until sometime in January and is a super fun guy — organized a downwinder, where kitesurfers ride with the wind from one location to another. It was so cool to organize our first real event for the kiters.
