MARCH 2010
Check out this video i took while we were at the national youth retreat that takes place every year during easter. All the christian churches gather there and it´s a really good time, because we get to see friends that we don´t see throughout the year. Anyways, this video was taken during worship one of the nights there, it was awesome
About three weeks ago our youth group was invited to a comuniti that its located about 30 minutes aways from where we live. They asked us to come and prepare a service in the streat, open air for their comunity. They know that we love doing that and that we have been doing it for a long time, so we put an explosive service together and whent and shared the gospel with that comunity. It was a fun experience because not only we got to preach in that community that needed but we also became better friends with the youth leaders of that church. From that day on we started making more plans to collaborate in ministry in the future. That night we had rappers, dances, praise & worship and great reflection. Check it out:




In our youth group I could say that the 95% of the boys that are part of our group, live with their mother and don´t have their father figure at home. Others d have their fathers around but don´t have a good relationship with them, therefore we decided to have a special speaker to come and speak about how to built a good relationship between father/son. To those kids that don´t have a father we said they could bring their grand father, their uncle, older brother or someone close to them. We didn´t have as manny people as we wanted to because those who don´t have a father didn´t want to bother other familly members. It was sad to hear one of the kids saying that he invited his grandpa to come and he said no :(....For those who whent to the activity, this was special because they had a bounding time that they never had before with their father. Many broken relationships are being heal because of this.


You guys know about CRISTO URBANO, the retreat that we are doing again this summer. This year we decided to take an step farther. We created a web site WWW.CRISTOURBANO.NET for those who want to stay in touch with all the activities we do. It´s been a challenge for us because we are in the process of learning how to do web sites (thanks Toby). In this site we are gonna have information about the next vitilla tournement in June, the cristo urbano youth retreat, MP3´s for people to download, sermons, music videos, chat room, and many other features that we are gonna have for the future. This site also helps us promote our retreat more because we also are gonna post a bunch of pictures from every activity in there. Please pray for us as we take this new journey, and pray for me in my trip to the states, I´m gonna be raising funds for the vitilla tournement in june, cristo urbano in july and for my monthly support. I´m gonna be in the US for a month visiting diferent churches, if you guys wanna no more how you can help in these projects contact me through facebook or isaias_gr22@hotmail.com God bless!!
