Salem, Oregon

On Tuesday my family, along with some other missionaries we are working with here in Tacoma, drove down to the YWAM base in Salem, Oregon. They have a huge base, complete with a cafe and rope courses. The reason we went was for a prayer meeting they were having, which happened to be done like the underground church. The reason for the prayer meeting was to remember our brothers and sisters in other countries who can't worship out in the open, or even in their own building. The room was lit only with candles, they didn't use any microphones or sound equipment, and everyone sat on the floor. It was an amazing service spent in worship, prayer, a teaching, and remembering our fellow Christian friends. Stories were told of people put in prison because of preaching, being forced to clean the sewer, and being put in isolation, all because of their faith.
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the Oregon base, but I will try to post some more of my family serving in my next post.
