I tried to get this posting done yesterday but my internet wasn't working well. On Monday night we held our first VJ training time at my place with 12 leaders/volunteers from the 5 churches here in Tarija who have a heart for working with teens. Pastor Ramiro and his wife, Angelica, from La Iglesia (church) Nueva Jerusalen were invited to share from their training and experience with teens. Angelica is in her 3rd year in university as a psych major and so spoke about the physiological aspect of being an adolescent and Pastor Ramiro shared about their spiritual growth as well as leadership issues. We meet again this coming Sunday afternoon for another workshop focusing on specific issues dealing with adolescence such as self-esteem, depression, suicide, sexuality, etc.
Next week, I'll be heading to Sucre to meet with the VJ leaders there who are more established. I'm hoping to learn from them as well as find out about the issues they're dealing with. If all goes well, I'll then be heading to Potosi and Santa Cruz later on in April to meet with leaders in regards to training and the starting of VJ in these places.
These are exciting times! I cannot say enough how much your prayers are needed during the upcoming weeks and months. Many, many thanks for your overwhelming support and encouragement...
'til next time,
rebecca
