APRIL 2007
MINISTRY HIGHLIGHTS:
This month had a combination of many things; we had youth retreats, church plays and a nice conference with all the G.O. staff. Let’s see, I am very happy with the results of these months because I accomplished things that I haven’t tried before:
This was the first time I had to carry the responsibility for all the youth that when to the National Youth retreat. It was awesome; we got a lot of good results. We took 40 youth to that retreat between 14 to 24 years old, and I’m very proud to say that most of them where not Christians. They didn’t accept Christ that weekend but now they have the seed of the gospel in their hearts.
This was the first time we made a play about the passion of Christ that lasted like 3
5 minutes. We have always been active in the church with dramas for all occasions but this is the first time we made a play out of a drama. We involved like 30 people in this play and the entire church came to support us I watch the `play; everyone loved it. The coolest thing about it was that we have people in the play that have always been in church but they where never part of anything at church, so for everyone was cool to see them using their talents. Also, for this activity we involved a lot of kids from our church school… that brought a lot of non Christians to church that night. To be honest, I thing that the 50 per cent of the crow that night were unbelievers. Drama was a good tool to get to them.
Last weekend was the conference with all G.O. staff. It was a good time where we had the opportunity to share with each other.
PROJECTS WORKING ON:
We are planning a tri to Monte Cristi only with the leaders of our youth group to encourage them hold on to God and to look for more spiritual guidance. Also to show them the vision of what we want to accomplish with the youth the rest of the year.
A trip to Haiti... it hasn´t happen because we have to find the best time so those who work and go to school can go.
I’m going to US this coming month, I’ll get to see those people who have been encouraging me with their prayers and financially. I’m exited; I will also try to get some of my friends to bring their youth groups down in mission trips next year.
PRAYER REQUEST:
1. My trip to US.
2. I hope every goes good with my mother doctor’s check up.
3. My grand mother is sick.
4. I want God to keep opening doors for my ministry to grow.
MINISTRY CHALLENGES:
1. I want to make some changes in the worship style of my church… It will take time but if it is God’s will people is going to accepted it. We want the worship to be more contemporary, to have a better quality so people who come empty to church can walk out full.
FAMILLY NEWS:
My mother is going to US check up with her doctor to see how her health is… please prayed for her.
HOW IS GOD WORKING IN YOU?
I have been involved in different ministries lately, enjoying each one of them but I’m trying to focus my vision in one only so I can try to do my best at it. God has been showing me different things, different passions I have; I want to be his vassal to do whatever he wants me to do. I know that with some of the activities I have been doing, God has touch a lot of lives that do not know him but I know I am call to do something bigger than that, so please keep me always in your prayers, I will be prayi
ng for that purpose to.
I have a big praise this time, I got my visa back but this time they gave me 10 years, do you know what that means? For the next ten years I can go back to the states whenever I need to. This is something I did not expected to happen because for us is really hard to get a visa but God decided to bless me. Thanks to those of you who where praying for me because without your prayers this would not be possible.
I’m exited for this summer, it seems like we are going to have more groups now, we are going to be busier and I love it. I hope you all can come down and see the wonderful things God has been doing in this island. Again, thanks for your support and for some of you, I will see you soon.
