Well today I write to you from an internet cafe in Kolkata, India. Things are going really good. It is our first day in India after 3 days of traveling! Let me tell you that I have had about 6 hours of sleep in the last 3 days. So tonight I am going to bed really early and try to get over jet lag.
India is completly opposite to every thing I have ever seen. There are people everywhere, children begging for money and sleeping in the street. It is definatly going to be a time of surrender to the Lord and have him lead this outreach. Because if it were up to me I would be taking all the kids home with me. Please be praying for me and the whole team as we are all very tired and feeling a little stressed out. I know that this is going to be an amazing time, but with that there are going to be many hurdles that I will need to jump over. Please be praying that I will be able to put my eyes on Jesus and no one else and from that intimacy that is where my ministry will flow.
I love you all very much and talk to you later. I will be keeping you updated.

My life thus far...
My life is really amazing if I think about it. I get to go all around the world under only one stipulation. And that is I get to tell people of the love of Jesus Christ and his saving power. And on top of that it really isn't that hard. It is just telling people about my best friend. Who doesn't like to talk about there best friend. There may be some rocky times, but who doesn't have those? In just 2 sleeps I am going to India. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared but I know that my God is bigger than fear. 1 John 4:18 says "Perfect love casts out all fear" and I know no greater love than that of my heavenly Father! On top of the fear, winning out on my emotions, is excitement. Not so much for the incredibly long plane ride, but for that of stepping out of my comfort zone into the unknown. Peace and Grace to you all!

Stateside
Well I am sitting in a youth centre in Orange Beach, AB wondering on where I should start with the update. For the next 2 days I will be sleeping in a beach resort with two pools across the street from the gulf of Mexico!! And yes that means the beach. Things are going very very good. God is showing His faithfulness more and more everyday. Us actually having a place to say is a testimony of it. The day we were driving down here we didn't even know if we would have a place to stay, we were thinking we were going to be sleeping in the van! But now we are in resort with more than we could ever imagine!! Mississippi was amazing as well. We worked with a church in Starksville. It is a college town to the tee. It has the University of Mississippi right in town. We did our program on Sunday as well as did some chair upholstery. So if you ever need some chairs redone just call on us.
On, friday we are heading to another town way north of here to do some more ministry. I am not to sure of the exacts that we are doing but I know it will be just as amazing as it has been so far. And as of today it is one week before we leave for India!! I am very very excited for this adventure. God is reading to do some really amazing things there.
Peace and love!!

Greetings
My apologies once again. Way to long in between blogs. I am way to busy for anyones health. Hope everyone is doing alright. I am doing really really amazing. Life is so good down here. It has been hot and humid, pretty much the entire time I have been here. But finally this weekend we have been getting some rain, I was forgetting what it looked like it had been so long since I had seen it.
God is doing some really amazing things in my life. He has been teaching me the true meaning of grace lately. Something given freely to some one you doesn't deserve it. And that is what I have been given is life and life abundant! He continues to show me Love and the true meaning of it. I can not wait to be able to go to India and show people who have never heard of Jesus his love to them! Please keep me in your prayers as it is going to take a lot of it while we are there.
Well on September 21st we are leaving for stateside. I am heading to Mississippi and Alabama. We are going to be there for about 10 days. We are going to be working in different churches doing programs and really just serving where we can. Thank you all for being there for me. I will try to keep a more detailed update when in India!!
Love you all!!

Here I am again!
Hey Hey all you peeps out there in blogspot land! Again I take to long in between blogs. Sorry about that. But just to let everyone know I am on Facebook everyday so if you have Facebook and I don't have you as a friend add me!! And if you don't know what Facebook is don't worry about it. I will try to remember to blog more often.
So the outreach location is decided. And if you don't already know.... It is INDIA!! WOO WOO!! Can we say Megan is excited??? Yes she is. But of course much prayer is needed.
Well a couple of weeks ago we went to Louisiana. We were working in New Orleans gutting houses. We got to lead a couple of youth groups from around the States. It was really cool, God did some amazing things in these kids lives. Not only in the kids lives but every one on my team.

This is a UHAUL truck that I found on the way home from Louisiana. Yes it does say Saskatchewan on it. Jesus Loves Me!!

Greetings from Tennessee
So it has been about 2 months since my last blog. So I figured that now would be a good time to do it all again. So I am back in Tennessee to do the second school that YWAM offers. That would be the School of Ministry Development. This school is really about who you are in the body of Christ and what you can bring to the table. I am so excited! It has only been a day and a half and God is already teaching me so much. This is going to be one of the greatest things that has ever happened in my life. Of course prayer is always welcome. Well that is all I can think of at this moment in time. See y'all later!!

Hello Hello
So it has been a while since I have last blogged! I just don't seem to find the time. We are very very busy! But it is so amazing. We just recently got back from Belize! It was incedible. I feel in love with the place and the people. It might sound nuts but I can see myself living there one day! Or maybe even in Mexico. Well I am really excited as tomorrow our school leader is flying in. He will be here for 5 days. And he has already been to China so he will have some amazing stories to tell from there. Also we have been to the beach here in Cancun and I did get burnt! I was a tomato for about 4 days. It was not cool. But with it being over 30 degrees here every day well I guess it is expected! Love you all!
P.S. I am super happy as Mexico uses Kilometres not this mile poo!! Just a little sidenote I thought you would enjoy!
