Reaching out with the Youth

July 28-Aug 3 our youth group went to Ventanilla, about 30 minutes north of Lima, to minister with a Calvary Chapel church plant. We took 6 youth and 2 leaders. We had a great time. We ministered in three different communities during our 5 days. We ministered to over 400 children and several adults. We gave out about 400-500 tracts and invitations, we painted hundreds of little faces, we taught them the Word, we loved them and showed them Christ Jesus in everyway we know how. The Lord really blessed our time.

One of my favorite moments was when one of the youth boys was pretending to do a devotional to some of the other youth. He told me that I couldn't be there. They were just goofing off. The next morning when he woke up, he said that he really wanted to do the morning devotinal and he wanted me to teach him how to put together a devotional. I showed how to do it and he begin to read and study. After breakfast he was ready to share what the Lord was showing him. It was great, simple and deep all at the same time. The Lord really blessed me through this moment. I love doing the outreaches and ministering to the masses, but more than anything I enjoy these moments of discipling God's children. Than you Lord!
