The Youth Group Caught on Fire
The hearts of the young adults in our region have
caught on FIRE for Jesus,
praise be to God!!!
A few weeks ago our community hosted the 'fogata" (Spanish for "bonfire"). Using rocks and sawdust, the kids created an enormous cross inside of an even bigger heart. The silence of the night erupted in cheers when the heart and cross were set ablaze.
During the "fogata" Chris and I gave a talk on recognizing the presence of the devil in our daily activities. We had groups of kids shout words like "compassionate", "frustrated" and "jealous". Then, everyone else had to indicate who wants us to feel that way by yelling either "Jesus" or "Diablo" (which is "devil" in Spanish). It was both insightful and fun.
We humbly ask for your prayers as we continue to work with the nuns to foster friendships between kids who love Jesus.
