After months of hard work, Jubilee’s youth group and New Life’s youth group were able to get enough money together to go on our annual youth retreat. On the November 13th, we took 34 youth and leaders, to the Christian Youth Conference and Retreat in central Mexico. It was amazing to see everything that happened and the excitement the youth showed while we were there.
We took one of the largest groups that went, which was very motivating. But the best thing was to see the unity of our group and their positive attitudes. They had a great time and showed that they loved the Lord and that was why they were there. We were able to take a couple new people that expressed their need to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. We are in the process of talking and doing studies with them so they understand the entire meaning of what Christ did and what He asks of us.
Also, our youth were able to make new friends with Christians from other churches in other cities. One of our main goals for them is to meet other Christian youth and realize that they are not alone on this road. We also knew it would be a great opportunity for them to meet others who were Christian because most of them have only been Christians for a couple of years of less so this was a blessing to see. It was exciting to see many of our young people at their first Christian conference. They had a blast and we enjoyed watching them have so much fun and deepen their relationship with each other and with Christ.
