The China, Costa Rica and Africa teams. We will all leave at the end of March and be serving for two months.

Just one image of the tragic devastation from the volcanoes in Costa Rica, leaving many homeless and stranded in refugee tents.
A Christian is never broke.
We either “have the opportunity to receive financial blessing” or not.
And in this case, I have a big opportunity. Which can only mean one thing: a big blessing.
The other leaders and I just announced outreach locations yesterday, and I couldn’t be more excited with how it came out.
My team will be headed to Costa Rica, where we will be helping earthquake refugees in several different ways, from working on houses to passing out food to watching children and wherever else there is need.
And eating a lot of bananas. At least that’s what I hear.
Looking at the pictures of the devastation in the area where we will be serving, it’s hard to imagine a small team of young people can do.
Almost as hard as it is to imagine not doing anything.
As our location and ministry are becoming more set, so is the reality of my need financially to make this happen.
So I am asking you to stand in this with me. I will be praying every night this week for breakthrough and I ask that if you think of it, you send up a shout out for my bank account as well.
I believe in the power of prayer and truly feel like this mission is God’s will, and that the finances behind it are in His hands.
But I also believe that He can work through yours.
If you feel led to support myself or the Costa Rica team financially, you can e-mail me at margecan@gmail.com to find out more information.
We will continue to plan this mission in faith that the cost is not a burden we will have to carry on our own, but that many will stand with us on the platform that the world is in need, and to those that have been given much, much is expected.
And now you know what YWAM actually stands for: Youth Without Any Money.
But with a whole lot of heart.

What an awesome looking group, Mags. I might be prejudiced being your ma, but I think you should get the Posture Queen award
