AGUA


Hello Friends! It has been way too long since we have updated our blog. I guess the old saying holds true, "time flies when you are having fun." I can truly say that we are having fun and I give full credit to my Lord for all that he is doing in our lives. This photo was taken a couple of months ago with our junior high youth group. Orlando and I have had the privilege of serving in our local church Tabernacle Christian Fellowship (Comunidad Cristiana del TabernĂ¡culo). The church is still small, as it has only been in existance for about 2 1/2 years. However, the community is growing. We have been having a blast with these junior highers. I am re-learning not only what it is like to be a teenager but also one in a different cultural context. We just completed a unit that revolved around the first letter of AGUA - "Alistarnos para Vivir en Pureza" which means "Readying ourselves to live in purity". We focused a lot of sexual purity and not being anxious to get into relationships but valueing friendships. We have just begun another unit which is taken from the G in AGUA "Guerreros para el Reino de Dios" which means "Warriors for God's Kingdom". This series focuses on outreach and local missions. We are currently preparing a drama to presented to these adolescents' friends on a special day. Please pray for us in that we would have wisdom, patience, and creativity in leading this energy filled group!
