DECEMBER 2009
Happy new year everyone, I hope ya´ll had a great time with your familly and friends during the hollidays. I have some news from last year, we had a blessed end of the year in out church for many reasons:
You guys already know that we have two bible studies going on every wensday in two diferent locations/Neighborhoods. The first one is lead by me in our community and its been going great because that´s the day where our students grow spiritually. Now, I´m super happy for the things that are going on at the other location; The other study is lead by two brothers that are part of our youth group and both of them I played baseball with when we were younger. They are three brother total, one of them played profetional some years ago, the other one plays for the Orioles in the big leagues and the other just got a schollarship to play for Miami university. The one that no longer plays baseball its the one who is leading the study right now. Its great to have them leading that study because they mostly have baseball players in their study, players that we spend a lot f time working with during baseball cinics and now also at the bible studies. Their group is growing and its a joy to me to see a baseball player helpng other players understand the life of Christ. during the last bible study of 2009, after I finished my study in my community I whent to hangout at the other location. We had a great time, a lot of fun and ate some food (important for baseball players lol) Here is a picture of all the people whom where there.
Another activity that whent better than we were expecting was the secret santa trip to the mountains. Its a trip that we do every year and we go to spend a night up in the mountains, have some fun playing games and going to the cold river during the day and at night we have a bunfire, have a time of reflection and them exchange gifts at the end of the night. We also talk a lil about the plans for next year. The great thing about this trip its that we always had a 30 to 40% of the students that go are not christians which help us use this trip as an outreacht opportunity. If you know me, you would know that everything I do is Intentional. We are trying to teach our youth group to do the same thing, because in order to grow we have to have people sharing the word of God in everything they do. If you play baseball don´t do it just to hit the home run, do it also to built some relationships. As a result of this trip with some nonbelievers in it, we have some of them visiting our churches every time we have a service, because they enjoyed the time we all spent together having fun in a good way and learning more about God. This time we even had people from 4 diferent churches joining us and they love it. We had a total of 35 students...Praised God!!!
Here are some pictures of the trip and a video of us having fun doing a freestyle
The 3er Vitilla Tournement has come to an end and we have new champions in the neiborhood. I know that I keep telling you guys about Vitilla but understand that its something that I can see it becoming an official sport. The whole country is into it, its crazy. Check out this video and enjoy it.
