God is raising young people to display the fullness of life in Him through the joy of living a Biblical led life worthy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

My name is Jonatas Lala from Angola, and missionary at Youth with a Mission- “YWAM” in Cape Town, South Africa. YWAM is a multicultural interdenominational mission organization reaching to thousands around the globe with the Gospel. My heart is to see young people being discipled and joyfully live their God given purpose. I desire to achieve that by impact people’s lives through discipleship as I set an example of what a godly man should be.

Last year while leading an outreach team throughout South Africa, I had found myself overwhelmed by the challenges in being a Christian young man in the 21th century as the team and I ministered in one of the biggest university cities in South Africa for a month. Observing the lifestyle other young people like myself lived, made me question God about how I could live a life not self-centered, yet full of joy and reflecting God mirroring myself as a Jesus’ copy. After solid days of reflections and prayer, I understood that it is crucial to have a Biblical worldview through which I see the world and better disciple the nations.

During the five years in “YWAM” I have been serving in different departments and styles of Ministry, such as: Teaching English to missionaries, Discipleship Training School, campus coffee shop, Media department and engaging with local churches.And through them all I have realized the need to be Biblically equipped. God calls us to disciple the nations and how we do it makes all the difference.

End of 2017 I made the decision to enroll in the School of Biblical Studies in our Campus in YWAM Muizenberg. A nine months program where we inductively study every single book of the Bible and draw timeless truths and Biblical principals applied in our personal lives and ministries. The nine months are followed by a three months outreach-TITUS PROJEcT, where we go to different countries in Africa to do Biblical training and to pour out all we have learned under the guidance of experienced staff.

In order to continue developing a Biblical worldview (as a disciple) and become a better disciple-maker it is crucial to continue enrolled in the School of Biblical Studies for the remaining 5 months and its 3 months outreach-Titus Project.

Therefore I ask you to prayerfully consider helping me reach my goal of Rand 62,325 (USD 4,712) till the 10th of September, to continue to spread God’s love, biblical truth and to make disciples of the nations.

Dreams are precious for me, I am thankful you get to live out this one with me!
