Kings Kids Ushuaia

Kings Kids is now here in Ushuaia. A ministry with a focus on mobilising and discipling young people through activities, music, camps, and outreaches, to give them opportunities to grow in their faith and share it with others, and to participate in extending the Kingdom of God.

In March 2011, Kings Kids started here in Ushuaia at YWAM Austral, run by a young lady with a passion for children and youth. Cecilia has been a part of Youth with a Mission in Ushuaia since it began, and has a desire to disciple young people and see them grow in their relationship with God.

Kings Kids meet every Saturday from 10am to 3pm at our YWAM Base, which is quickly becoming too small for such an energetic group, and has now formed part of our weekly activities. Everybody helps out during this time, whether it be cooking or teaching, praying or simply listening to the stories that the children want to tell.

Each week we see how they are growing in their knowledge and understanding of God, and in their relationships with others. Already the children have been able to give from the things that they have been learning, with a performance at a local missionary conference in July.

Kings Kids transforms not just the children, but also impacts everybody around them. It reveals that children have a lot more to give than we often believe they do.

Kings Kids believes in children.

Bible Reading Marathon

The Day of the Bible falls on the 25th of September this year, and what could be better than reading through the entire Bible non-stop to celebrate it. That’s right, from Friday morning, the 23rd of September, until Sunday evening, the 25th of September, we will be holding a Bible Reading Marathon, where we will read through the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, both Old and New Testaments, without a break.

A Bible Reading Marathon sounds like a crazy feat, but reading the Bible from cover to cover only takes around 71 hours. Three days non-stop gives us 72 hours, so if we keep going then we are going to be able to finish it all.

Of course, for one person to be able to stay awake for three days without sleeping is going to be virtually impossible, and even more so if they want to try to understand what they are reading. So the idea is to form small groups and take turns amongst the groups. Some people will be able to come during the night, while others will arrive early morning. Some will spend the day with us, while others have to work.

The Bible Reading Marathon is a community project, not an individual effort, although if somebody wants to attempt it then we will not stop them. At the end of the Bible marathon reading, there will be a moment of celebration and some prizes given out for those who managed to stay the longest.

Many people have only ever scatter-read their Bible, opening it up to one page and reading a little there, and then opening it to another place the next time to read from there. One of the blessings that will come out of this project is that many people will get to read complete books of the Bible, perhaps even for the first time in their life. The Bible convicts, transforms and renews those who read its pages. The people who participate in this Bible Reading Marathon will be greatly blessed by it.

We hope to see you there. Where? Here at YWAM Ushuaia.

The Bible Give Away Project

We believe in the power of the Bible to transform lives and we want to give one Bible to every house in the city. We believe that when the people receive the Bible and start to read it, their lives will be transformed and as their lives are transformed so will the city be transformed. That is why The Bible Give Away Project is so important.

With around 70,000 residents in the city, we need a lot of Bibles and a lot of people to help us with this project. But we are encouraged by the fact that the Bible give away has been done before in other places around the world, and each time it has, there has been a tremendous transformation of those places.

Therefore, this September we are planning on buying several hundred Bibles to give away during the weekend of the “Day of the Bible” that is celebrated here in Argentina on Sunday the 25th. The Bible Give Away Project begins with designing the cover for the Bible, then ordering and waiting for it to arrive here in Ushuaia. At this point, after prayer, we will be giving them all away as God directs us.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.

2 Week Bible School

A two week intensive Bible training course from the 21st June to the 2nd of July. Two weeks to learn more about God, to discover the Bible in a new light, to learn techniques that will help you continue to study the Bible for years to come. Search out the depths of the Scriptures to find the truths of God using proven methods.

If you have always wanted to study the Bible, or learn how to; if you have a desire to discover more of God’s truths found in His book; or if just reading the Bible is no longer enough: then this is the next step. Learn, discover, enjoy, be challenged, and delight in the Word of God as you study the Bible and allow yourself to be transformed by what you discover.

21 June – 2 July 2011. Be there.
