One of Sam's passions over the last few years has been to help birthing Mum's go through labor, she has trained as a Doula and spent some time assisting a midwife here in Ensenada. She has a real heart to help  under privileged mums as they give birth and navigate the public health system.
While Sam was in Cape Town she got  she got to work with the Zoe Project, which is helping mums every day give birth in the public hospitals. Sam goes to work in three different hospitals and some of the poorest and roughest parts of Cape Town. She met with many mums, and have the privilege of helping birth seven babies over the week.
One beautiful touch was while she was there she borrowed a scrub top from another staff member whose name was Susan. Sam became known as Nurse Susan by our team. Susan was her mom's name who passed away eight years ago. Sue was also a nurse so she felt it was an honor serve in the name of her mum.

Manila - Philippines. In September, Tym went to the Philippines to be part of YWAM together. This was a global conference of YWAM Leaders, Staff, and students from around the world. Attending were 5000 people from 197 different nations. This is one of the biggest gatherings in Ywam's 64-year history. Hearing from so many YWAM leaders, including our cofounder, Darlene Cunningham, was a great privilege. Tym's role was production manager for the event, looking after all of the technical production for the event. It was an honor to serve the entire ministry at this level. And, of course, there are lots of fun toys to play with!!!
