Steve and Natalija Janz
Steve and Natalija have a unique and effective way of developing Christian leaders and evangelizing the youth in Latvia: Camp-in-a-Box. Camp-in-a-Box is an entire camp in a shipping crate that can be transported to any location for use. It includes tents, 75 beds, a kitchen, a large meeting tent, heated showers, toilets, basic sport equipment, program equipment, and essential tools. Camp-in-a-Box is a tool used to complement the mentoring relationships that Steve is building. Each mentor is connected to four kids whom they commit to mentoring for an entire year, before, during, and after camp. These relationships often continue even longer, impacting both the kids and the mentors.

My role at YWAM SF will be to help train DTS outreach teams. Since teams leaving from our base are going to closed countries where they speak different languages, they are often given opportunities to teach English. I will be training them how to teach English as a second language so they will be better equipped. I will also be making sure frontliners who teach ESL have all the supplies that they need. I will have the opportunity to be lead short-term outreach teams as well. I will be teaching English to refugees who are near the base in Colorado Springs, and to any students or staff who would like help with their English.
