I was therefore greatly encouraged to recently read the report below, filed by Katie Gesto in South Sudan. Katie attended a Kerygma DTS in Ireland about 15 years ago and has been pursuing a call to missions ever since. ...

Back on the Streets Again ‘Raw, In your Face, Street Outreach’ In my early years in YWAM, I spent a lot of time sharing the Gospel with people on the streets.
