Hello! My name is Max Van Loan. I graduated from San Dieguito Academy in the class of 2018 and have decided to do something a little different with my plans after high school. In the Summer of 2017 I felt God’s call on my life to take a year in between high school and college to go serve and see the world. My family and I have spent the last year figuring out a way to make this happen, and God showed us the way.

YWAM(Youth With A Mission) is an organization that trains youth with the purpose of knowing Jesus and making Him known to others. For 3 months I will train to be a disciple to others, and then for 3 more months I will be sent out to a foreign country to go preach the gospel and serve people in need. My goal for this experience is to broaden my perspective on the world and develop a heart for serving others

In total, this program will cost about $10,000. My parents have generously agreed to match whatever I raise, so my target is $5,000. I have been working all Summer to get to this goal, but I still need the help of others to get me to YWAM. Thank you all in advance for any donations towards my cause. I’m so grateful for those of you who are willing to help through donation, sharing this campaign, and especially prayer :)
