-About two weeks ago our friends and supporters Ken and Karen George decided to invite the entire youth group to an activity where they could hang out, eta some food, play some Dominoes and have some time to share the word of God. Well, I must say that for this activity, we used the ¨food¨ and the ¨games¨ to atrack non-christians youth from our neibordhood... We ended up having a lot of people in that activity and the coolest thing was that 50% of them where not christians. It was a total of 50 to 55 people. The enjoyed the time they spent with us and the recieved the message very well. All we wanted was to plant the seed; God will make it grow in his time.

- About two weeks ago we had our final meeting with some of the players of the next Vitilla Tournement. At the meeting we took some time to sing song praise songs and we had a short message that was very clear and direct. They diren´t know we were going to do that at the meeting but they receive it well and enjoyed. After the service I had some of the key players coming to me saying how much they enjoyed the service and some even committed to come to all the services we do every other thuersday at the basketball court. Please keep praying for this because God is going to continue doing things that we never expected to happen.
- I spent last week working in batey 9 and batey cuchilla with the construction crew, some of the members of my youth group, and a group of my fellow students of Great Lakes Christian College. We had a great time and we accomplished a lot. We started what in a near future will be the church/ Nutrition center of Batey Cuchilla. I´m Very proud of all the students of GLCC because they spent the entire week showing God´s love to this community through construction, BVS, and feeding the kids there.

- Even though I was gone to the Bateys last week, the leaders of the youth group that I left behind organized an excellent activity to reach out on Valentines day. Before I left I told them that they need it to take responsibility on this activity and make it happen. They did, and for that I´m very proud of them. Our leaders Leandro and Carolina were leading this activity along with the helped of many other from the YG that came and help. Again, they had about 60 people coming to that activity, most of them not Christians, and many of them we never even seen them before. We are very happy because God has seen our hearts and he is answering our prayers. He has seen our intentions of reaching out the lost and he has support our moves along the way.
