Carnaval Outreach 2010
This year Carnaval Outreach preparations began the beginning of February, but in reality, preparations started long before that. People came from diiferent parts of Mexico, the USA, Canada, Australia, Holland, Germany, England, Belgium and many other places to serve. There were about 100 people staying at the YWAM base.
The main outreach teams were Evangelism, Intercession, Beauty Salon, Cafe, and Kid's Ministry.
This year Kelly led the Kid's Ministry team. Eddie helped with set up and tear down and he also worked on the Kid's team with Kelly.
Each night would start with 2 hours of praise and worship followed by a short word, then the teams would head out to work until 2 in the morning. Then the teams would regroup and debrief. Most nights people went to sleep around 3am. The last night of Carnaval YWAM Mazatlan hosted a carne asada dinner for all of the teams, church members and pastors, and guests.
Attendance at Carnaval was down this year because there were many rumors about hidden weapons, grenades, and planned attacks of violence. The people of Mazatlan were afraid and fear was in the city.
YWAM Mazatlan knew God had said to go forward and reach out to the people at Carnaval and to keep in the forefront of our minds that His perfect love casts out all fear.
During the 10 days of outreach over 2500 people accepted Christ. There were prayers and conversations and evangelism going on all around the city. God moved in a powerful way and it was evident to all how much He loves Mazatlan.

Hope for Haiti
In light of everything that has been going on in Haiti after the earthquake, Haiti has truly been on our hearts. After the hurricanes there in 2008, we sent an outreach team to work with the YWAM bases in the country. They had the opportunity to serve the YWAMers and Haitian people, help with hurricane relief work, and make lasting connections with the people of Haiti. Then, in the May of 2009, we received an outreach team from YWAM Haiti St. Marc that stayed with us for a few weeks. They shared…Carnaval 2010!

The outreach team in Mexico City has been busy reaching out to the masses in bold and relevant ways. They have seen God's hand at work through the joining of churches uniting together to reach out to the people of their city and they have had the chance to help the Haitian embassy in Mexico after the earthquake in Haiti. They have had opportunities to work in two different high schools where they have been able to go into the classrooms and share all about God and the importance of knowing Him.…© 2010 Created by Lisa Tymos Parrish.
