Missionary for a Day - Saturday 3 May


Our next Missionary for a Day trip to our orphanages in Mexicali, Mexico, is just a few days away – Saturday 3 May - and we invite you to join us!

As always, we leave from Seventh Street Church parking lot at 6 a.m., and return by approximately 8:30 p.m. the same day.
The trip itself is free, but your driver will always appreciate help with the gas money - please give as you are able.
Our trip this time will take us to each of the three orphanages where we will repeat the same program; crafts, Bible story, singing, games, etc.

If you plan on going, please let us know by email - Geir@yesweserve.com - no later than Tuesday 29 April (this helps me greatly to arrange seating for you; If you don’t let me know by this deadline, we won't be able to guarantee you a seat) and also indicate if you can drive, and how many free seats you have in your vehicle. 

We look forward to your being part of our "Missionary for a Day" team where we show and live out God's love for the children in Mexicali!

ATTENTION all present and future Team YesWeServe members!


After our successful participation last fall, YesWeServe has again been chosen as an official charity for the 2014 Long Beach Marathon!
So, now it's time to sign up and start training!

The cost this year is the same as last year: $30.00 for 5K run or Bike ride, and $80.00 for the Half or Full marathons.
When you have decided in which distance you want to participate, you can pay through our website,
www.yesweserve.org, send a check to our mailing address at 2436 E. 4th Street, #44, LB, CA 90814, or give it to us. Checks should be made out to YesWeServe. We need your payment by the end of this month to get you signed up and ready to go.

This year we can buy athlete codes - at reduced “charity rates” - only in blocks of 20. The first 20 are due by the end of April, so make sure you sign up by that deadline.  After that, the prices go up.

New this year is a bi-athlon option: if this is your choice, you will start with the bike ride at 6 a.m. followed by running either a Half marathon (start at 7:30 a.m.) or a 5K run (start at 8:30 a.m.).
We will start our Team training after Easter.  Whether you are currently on a training program or starting from scratch, we have a training program to help you reach your goal on Race Day!

Last year we raised over $7,000.00 dollars for our “Milk for the Masses” project, and we want to top that amount this year!  So, we are challenging all Team YesWeServe participants to raise $250.00 each.  Give it your best effort – whether you reach your personal goal or not - you are, of course, still on the team J 

We will follow up with more information in this and our other social media spaces.
GO TEAM YESWESERVE!
