Merry Christmas from the mcclains (2017 Edition)

What a year 2017 has been! We are incredible thankful with all of you and especially with God for all he has done. Some of our favorite things of 2017 are:

• For the tons of youth that came through YWAM Mission Adventures Program and went to do short term mission trip leaving a long term difference.
• More than 40 students that came through YWAM Training Schools​

Nest Staff at our annual Nestgiving!!

The School of Ministry Development which Luke led this year!

• A new home for The Nest and almost 3 residents that call that beautiful place "home" 
• We praise God that after 10 years of dealing with immigration, Cristal is finally now a USA Citizen. ​
