Two weeks ago, the “Jesucristo Vive” church had the unpleasant news that its pastor decided to leave his position at church. This came as a shock to most of the congregation, which is evidently suffering the loss. The church board decided to ask the missionaries (especially me) to help out in a special way during this hard time. Therefore, I have accepted the challenge of leading the youth for a while. I will also be preaching every Sunday morning and helping with the many events they are planning in the months ahead.
The challenge is even bigger since the Emanuel church leaders had asked me to help them leading their youth. I was entertaining the idea especially since I was needing a new challenge because the youth here are not use to working outside of their churches and it was complicated to make them get together and work as a team. Right when everyone at Emanuel was looking at me as the new youth leader for the church and youth, Jesucristo Vive needed my help and leadership even more at this crisis time. Therefore, I have started my work at Jesucristo Vive, however, I will do my best to help at Emanuel as well. I believe this opportunity to work as a leader at these two churches can bring a lot of potential to give more unity at least to these two churches.
- Please pray for me, for the big challenge ahead, working with two youth groups and preaching every Saturday and Sunday.
- Thanks to God for expanding my work and responsibilities. Right at the time I was feeling a bit depressed because of the lack of response from the youth, I was asking God for new ideas to work, right then, two churches to be lead!
