YOAM online

February 26, 2008 by MarkH.

Hi all, this is the first entry in what I hope will be an ongoing and active blog about Youth on a Mission (YOAM).

YOAM began in 2006 in Slidell Louisiana on a Glen Mar UMC mission trip. The overwhelming extent of the damage and need created by hurricane Katrina opened the hearts of two youg ladies to hear God’s call to serve him in mission. The two sat in a bathroom they were helping to repair and wrote on a piece of drywall what YOAM should look like, and then as talking about that vision their vision became the vision of a group of truly blessed and inspired young women also on the trip. This group came back to Maryland and convinced a group of adults to listen to them, to assist them, and to let them lead, and now their vision and God’s call has become YOAM.

This March during Spring Break (April 16-22) we will return to Slidell for our second trip in service of God and to continue to assist those affected by the direct force of hurricane Katrina. But our vision to be missionairies does not begin and end in Louisiana, as we hope to grow more disciples here in Maryland serving God wherever we are called.

Check back here to find more about YOAM and especially during our trip to see our daily newsletter we will produce on site.

God Bless you in all you do.

Mark
