2009 – Activities/Ministries

After a busy year I am happy to complete the many ministries in which I was involved.

High School Ministries

Last year I was involved with the Henry Prince High School in the counseling area; this was an interesting ministry, although it was complicated getting it done the way I wanted to, because I didn´t really know the students. However, it was great to help out the School staff and to counsel some students, many of them with very complicated problems in their lives.
I also taught at San Simon High School for two semesters, but I ended up quitting before the end of the year to concentrate on CIMA (I explain what it is below).

• Praise God for the great opportunity of being part of many students´ lives.

• Pray for the school, that it can continue to be a light in the Bolivian community, bringing hope, wisdom and good counsel to the students there. It is desperately needed!

Youth Ministries

What a year I had leading the two youth groups! I heard many times that it was hard to lead a youth group. Well, imagine how frustrating it could be “trying” to lead two! I had some help from both youth groups, but it is difficult to get the group where you want it. Imagine, I could only be at each youth group meeting every other week (they meet every Saturday night). The highlight of the year was the many discipleship courses that we finished. I have had around 30 youths from both churches taking the courses, and many of them took more than one course.

• Praise God for His faithfulness in letting me finish another year full of challenges but with lots of blessings and excitement.

• Pray for the youth groups, since they do not have any idea where they will find a leader to take over when I leave.
