About

YWAM Land of Canaan

Youth With A Mission ‘’Land of Canaan’’ is part of the global Youth With A Mission movement of Christians dedicated to know God and to make God known.

Youth With A Mission is an international and interdenominational organization spread throughout over 180 countries with more than 18,000 missionaries committed to participate in the great commission of Jesus Christ, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” Matthew 28:19

Founded in 2015 by Malagasy missionaries Setra and Mirana Andrianala, YWAM “Land of Canaan” is a YWAM base in Madagascar focused on building up healthy Christian families & training missionaries to reach the poor, needy, and unreached people groups in Madagascar. 

“Land of Canaan” means a place where God intended every Christian to be fruitful. Like when God gave the Israelites the land of Canaan as their promised land, we have been given Madagascar to work and invest in. We work with all God’s energy to impact believers and non-believers for God’s kingdom. We aim to be fruitful and effective in ministry and to multiply the number of Malagasis who know God.

We are blessed to be a blessing!
