A little over a week ago I spent a few days in Potosi and Sucre in order to meet with the leaders (vice presidents) in charge of Vida Joven - the teen ministry. It is brand new in Potosi and we were able to start conversations about what the situation is for this specific region. I admit to being a bit disappointed with the turnout and so I think it's going to literally mean starting from scratch as far as building a team of leaders. In Sucre, the ministry has been happening for a couple of years but has been in a bit of a slump recently. It was a good time in both areas to get to know one another a bit better and allowed me the opportunity to understand what some of the needs are better and how to best work in each of the areas.
Next week I head to Santa Cruz for a couple of days to meet with the leaders there. Please be praying as I get ready and travel; that the conversations go well and that it's a time of encouragement for all of us. There's no doubt that each area has different needs and I require wisdom to know how to best proceed in the various regions.
As well, the national Vida Joven camp will be taking place in El Alto June 30-July 3. I'll be one of the workshop leaders and will also be starting the investigation with the teens from Cochabamba, El Alto, La Paz, and Oruro. Please pray as I get ready for this camp - they're hoping for 240 teens from all over.
'til next time,
