Even on holiday, the mission never clocks off.
For Lucas, currently on a time of rest from YWAM Liverpool, this journey through Portugal became a living reminder that mission is not a role or a season — it is a lifestyle rooted in communion, love, and obedience. As Scripture says, “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31).
These days were marked not only by discovering Portugal, but by deep fellowship — sharing life with friends from Canada, Denmark, Colombia, Brazil and Portugal, resting together, laughing together, and seeing how beautifully God weaves His family across nations.
A particularly meaningful moment was visiting YWAM Lisbon, where Lucas was warmly welcomed into a community full of love, humility and faith. Time was spent sharing what God has been doing in England, but also listening closely, learning, and being deeply impacted by their testimony. Their journey, especially stepping into a new place God has provided as their home, reflects the truth of “The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy” (Psalm 126:3). May God continue to bless YWAM Lisbon abundantly and expand all that He is building in Portugal.
The time spent at the Hillsong Lisbon Youth Service was also incredibly special — a powerful expression of worship, unity and the next generation pursuing God with passion. Truly a reminder that “His kingdom cannot be shaken” (Hebrews 12:28).
Even in rest, God was at work — through conversations, friendships, shared meals, worship, and simple moments of togetherness. Because mission is not something we switch on and off; it is who we are.
