Good Friday with our Youth

Last Friday was Good Friday and we had our second Friday night youth devo. We focused on New Birth through Jesus Christ. We started with an Easter Egg hunt. This is not custom in Brazil, so they were a bit confused at first but caught on quickly. We hid the plastic eggs around our building and inside the eggs were slips of papers with parts of verses that were related to Randy's lesson. When all the eggs were found, they were able to put the slips of paper in order to reveal the verses.
Randy did an excelent job speaking about how we don't have to be stuck in our sins. Because of Christ's death and resurrection, we can have a new life. We can be a new creation. What an amazing truth!
I especially enjoyed our time of worship. This week I looked around the circle at these kids who are coming to these Devos. They were singing and clapping to these new songs we have taught them. Songs about Jesus, about our Lord. We are still waiting for the day that Georgie, Diane, Liane, and the others choose Jesus as the Lord of their life. But for now they are coming, they are seeking. It is an incredible process to be part of.
Please pray for our Friday night youth devos.

What great news! I wish I had been there to hear the message (though, if it was in Portugese, I wouldn't have understood without Jennifer translating). Thanks for keeping us up to speed, guys. We love you!
