Retreats and more

It's been awhile since I last posted. I had previously mentioned a high school retreat that we held one Friday and it went really well. We had 71 students attend and 24 made decisions for Christ. It was our first retreat with this high school and we'll be having 4 or 5 more with this school in the upcoming months.

Also this past weekend we held a leadership retreat for all the leaders of the Bible Clubs that we work with. We had 46 attend and it was a wonderful time of preparing for the year of ministry ahead of us and we received some wonderful teachings on what the Bible says about the fear of God.

Today the Bible Clubs will be hosting their annual Kick-Off to begin the new ministry year. The youth get really creative and hold a dynamic Club meeting where lots of youth attend who never step foot in a church. The activity is evangelistic so please pray that the youth would be open to gospel of Christ.

Also, this upcoming Monday we will receive a group of 15 people from Mexico. They will be with us for two weeks and we'll be hosting an activity called Born Again to a Living Hope. I'll write another whole post about this presentation because it is really exciting!!! We'll be in Managua presenting this theatrical work for a week and then we'll be traveling outside of Managua for the other week.

Apart from this, Jader and I were able to travel outside of Managua for a few days because we were making arragnements for the Born Again to a Living Hope presentation. We traveled to four different cities and towns in the region that Jader is from. It was neat to also be able to visit with Jader's family and friends. Well, thanks for reading about what we've been up to. I'll be writing more about the presentation we'll be hosting!
