The Sailboat Ready Yet?

 Hey world! If you are following very closely, you know our life and schedule has not fit our timeline for the boat very well. We have flown all over the place, graduated our oldest child from high school, and have had a few setbacks due to weather and other unforeseeable events. Nonetheless, we press onward, and the boat work continues!

DATES: February 25-May 20 2023

(((( Israel will be on staff with this SONS school coming up, we appreciate your support and prayers as this will be a stretch for us with that busy of a schedule, but we know and trust God's grace to be sufficient for where He guides, He provides!)))))

 Israel is working on the sailboat and still believing God to "MATCH 1500" to get this sailboat in the water, if you have any leading to help us out, please see our website for giving options! www.go4missions.com Check out the give page when you get there!

Thanks for reading and for praying!

much love, Les

Refit the Sailboat!

We named the vessel "EVERY TRIBE" to remind us of those we will one day worship beside, together and around the throne...

Revelation 7:9 says that one day we will see a great multitude that no one can count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. Wearing white robes and holding palm branches in hand, we will worship and say,

“Salvation belongs to our God,

who sits on the throne,

and to the Lamb."


The cry of our hearts is for young people to catch the fire of God from the Holy Spirit and take hold of HIM and hear HIS call on their lives! 
Distant shores and the islands in remote places need the gospel - but the youth of today need to know of their need for God, have vision of their place in God's big picture, and follow His lead into the unknown, trusting Him step by step!
Every Tribe will be used as a tool to draw people far and wide into a faith-journey with Jesus! Would you get behind that vision with us?

If you are asking God where to sow into ministry or mission, consider this good soil to invest in! The season quickly came where we are being equipped for our new assignment from the Lord! To train and send missionaries from right here in Corpus Christi! This is a team effort and as we live by faith, we trust the Lord to connect us with partners, like you, in this!
If you are led to give and need a tax-deductible way to give
please check out our website! www.go4missions.com
If you do not need that, its super easy to give from our website as well. 
We are believing God for the provisions to get the vessel in working order to sail!
God bless you in your giving and as you pray for us!
May you have a blessed and happy Christmas.
love the Baileys

The Sailboat Comes Home

 

The Sailboat coming home happened so fast!

It was nestled in a junk yard, and out in west Texas, not expected to have a life including water again!

Thankfully, God has other plans for this vessel!

((Side note: The beginning of this video clip shows some time spent with the latest DTS at the Wooden Boat show in Port Aransas.))

When we first saw this boat, it was in a photo floating around Facebook. The post was telling people that this land needed to be cleared or the owners would be fined. So, after seeing this photo of a boat almost hidden like a diamond not yet mined from its natural setting, Israel inquired about it!

He was put in touch with the owner and to our delight, found out that he had a heart for missions and what we were doing in Corpus Christi for God!

  The Lord was at work! He did not end up asking for a dollar! 

We just would need to put new tires on the trailer!

Israel and Nate took a road trip and went to see the boat in Roscoe, Texas.

Israel's dad was able to help him get those tires taken care of. What a relief! New tires, old boat, but FREE! But the crazy part, the title was not in the guy's name! It was in the original owner's name still after 10 years of sitting! So, that was a problem!

No worries, the old owner was still just down the road and living at the same address!

Israel and the last owner when to see the old owner to get the title and paperwork completed!

Easy peasy! How bizarre was that?!

What a God-story!

Because what are the odds that the old guy was still alive and at the same address that many years after selling the sailboat!? Without those signatures, this would have probably been a fiasco!

But God works in signs and wonders when His children have a passion for Kingdom purposes!

We have pretty great visions for how we see this vessel being used!

As a training vessel: to train Christians in navigation and seamanship, in order to reach remote islands  that are not easily accessed by plane. 

YWAM Ships Corpus Christi will take the gospel of Christ to the least, the lost, the lonely and left behind and train our DTS students and SONS students to do the same!

Matthew 25:40
