APRIL-MAY
Hey guys, I´m really glad to be able to share with ya´ll everything is happening in ministry through this. These last two month, I have been super busy, travelling a lot, getting ready for the nest vitilla tournement, ready for Crsto Urbano, all the talent shows we´ve been doing at diferent locations, etc. I haven´t have much time to sitdown and update you guys, but I tell you, if it wasn´t for you I wouldn´t be able to do all these things a love to do. From all the activities we have been doing, I have been making videos about it. Many of these videos I have also post it on our wedsite www.cristourbano.net which is the site we created to keep the youth comunity update it with everything is happening at the retreat. They have been able to download music, watch videos, pictures, interviews from people they know, etc. You guys should also check it out so you can practice your spanish lol and also know what we are trying to acomplish at our retreat. Here is the list of all the videos we have posted:
This is a video from the Men´s Retreat that took place at Maimon camp. It was awesome!! We asa leaders of churches here don´t get together often to just relax, because everytime we get together we are working on something. At this retreat we had some good time of worship, great teachings and great fellowship. I know by watching this video you can tell how much fun we had.
This is Pedro. Most of you that have been here before know him from the little colmado that is in front of the main G.O. dorm. We have been witnessing to this kid for years, you guys have also. He has been part of many of our baseball camps and basketball as well. I know that through the years, he has watch you guys buy drinks at his mother´s store... If you didn´t know how much impact you have in our community when you come down, now you know. He became part of ou youth group since january when we have our yearly retreat at the mountains. Since that retreat I have seen major changes in him, God is really working on him and his familly. I just found out that his sister has been so impress with everything God is doing on him that she is gonna b baptize very soon too. Keep this familly in your prayers and next time you see him make sure you give him a big hug.
This is a video I put together from all the places I went to while I was in the States. I really love you guys for making me feel at home. We are a familly and you better know you all have my respect. It was really fun to be able to see everyone, this is one of those videos that i´m gonna put in www.cristourbano.net because i know that when the kids see it, is gonna bring a smile to their face, and they are gonna want to go to the camp :)
Let me tell you that last year my friends Jesse, Matt and Tyler and myself organized the first cristo urbano retreat and it was awesome. But the way we planed our teachings and all that was through facebook. It was really hard to comunicate about specific things we wanted to do but we did it and we had great results at the retreat. This year, Jesse´s youth group from okolona christian church got me a plane ticket so i could come up there, raise fund for my ministry while I was there, we could get together and plan cristo urbano (face to face this time) and I could visit those people that have been behind me supporting me all the way. This youth group also got me a sound system for my youth group´s activities...They out of anybody know how much we needed it that because last at the retreat we burn one of the speakers out hahaha, that´s how we do!!
My friend and supporter Bob Tone got me a ticket so i could visit him in las vegas and i could visit my supporter and some of the churches that are big supporters of our ministry in california. Thank you guys for that. You guys help a lot by being there supporting us through every situation.
Every two months we have been doing a talent show in a diferent church every time. The first one was in hoya del caimito, second was hato del yaque and now the third at Hoyo the Bartola AKA ¨the hole.¨ Guess what!!! we rock!!! we had 8 diferent churches represented that night and place was full. Maybe 250 to 300 people there that night. It was awesome and I was so proud of the work that Felix and Jenny have done there cause many of the kids that were there representing the hole, were awesome in their dramas, dances, everything they did. Some of them were kids that I remember 2 years ago were the biggest trouble makers but God has ben transforming them. That´s what is all about, we go after the sick and bring them to the doctor...
Some of you know that my father´s health is not very good right now, he had a stroke 2 days ago. His right leg and arm are very weak, he talks but his dialect is not very clear right now. Please keep praying for him. The doctor said that is a couple days things are gonna come back to normal but is gonna take time. His whole life he has been a strong man, who never been on a hospital bed. So imagine how hard this has been for him. I´m trying to be strong, to not think about stuff to much cause if I do i start crying and he doesn´t need that now. PLease pray for all of us, we know God is in control
