Blast From The Past

Juventude Kerigma

When we decided to dedicate our efforts to graduating the Kerigma church plant, one of the areas we observed where we could make the biggest impact was in the youth group. When we arrived, the congregation had various children’s ministries, but no real youth program. As a result, over the last five years many children grew to adolescence in the church, and then drifted away.
Once we made the decision to invest in the youth program we spent about a month in planning with some of the church young people, the senior pastor, and a couple adult sponsors.
Finally, we held our big inauguration rally this Saturday. Thanks be to God, it was a smashing success. There were about 40 people in attendance, 18 of whom were visiting young people from the community.
Here are a few pictures:

Me, giving a welcome message to the kids.

Some of the visitors, including two guys we have been witnessing to for a couple months. It was their first time in our church.

The Catholic Church has officially denied the existence of Limbo, but apparently it is alive and well among Baptists.

A highlight of the evening was the Q and A time. The questions from our visitors were deep, and Pastor Francisco and I had many opportunities to share the Gospel.
Our second meeting will be later this evening. Our young people are very excited. Please pray that God would continue to bless their effort. Our neighborhood is full of young people who are being seduced by the deadly influences around them.
They desperately need Christ.
