Conferences

The youth leaders and pastors were in charge of the teaching times.  In a short 3 days, we fit in 5 conferences on different topics related to Hebrews 11, “faith.”  They were all inspiring and especially directed towards the youth.  What a pleasure to be able to count on a great team of teachers and preachers!

Games

Our youth put together the games and team-building exercises.  It was a joy to see their commitment and their energy as they invited all the youth to participate.  There was lots of running and lots of laughs.

At Camp

Our team got together with 3 other small congregations to offer the youth some time together and time with God.  It was surprising to see how many were able to come.  Many didn’t have the money, but God provided anyway.

"Cuarto de Guerra"

With our Sunday service now switched to the morning, we offer an evening service for those who are unable to attend in the morning.  This week we showed a movie, “War Room,” that motivated us all to dedicate more time to prayer.  It is an inspiring movie if you haven’t seen it, and especially in this culture.

In the Resurrection spirit

One of the activities this week was a “Resurrection” scavenger hunt for the youth.  They went out with cameras to find some of these items in the streets and local stores.  All the items were easily found and they were very creative in their interpretations of the pictures taken.

How did they do?

Youthful fun

It’s always fun when the youth get together.  But when one of the youth leads the meeting and prepares the games and etc., we are especially grateful that God is preparing him or her to experience leadership in a group setting.

More on Signs

This week Tracey shared on the second sign of Jesus in John.  The message was both interesting and challenging.  We trust that this also paves the way for new leaders to teach in the home groups and for new “preachers” to share on Sunday mornings.
