Youth Retreat

Please pray for us this weekend!

Tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 we are leaving to spend the weekend in Panajachel with 25 of the kids here -- ages 15 and up. Panajachel is a small town located on the coast of Lake Atitlan. It is three hours from the children's home. We will spend two nights and return on Sunday afternoon. The kids are very excited!

Daniel is leading all of the worship times --both the music and the message. He just found out last week that he would be responsible for this, so he has been working very hard for the past few days to prepare. It is hard enough to prepare three 45-minute sermons in English but to do it in Spanish is that much more difficult and time-consuming!

We are really looking forward to this weekend, as we know that it is another opportunity to bond with the older youth and provide us with shared memories. Please pray that God will speak clearly through Daniel and that the language difference will not hinder the message. Please pray also for each of the children who are going -- that God would work in each heart and that they would know and accept His great love for them.

I look forward to sending an update on the weekend when we return!
