Youth Reunion


Just recently the Church here in León hosted a huge Reunión de Jovenes (Youth Retreat). This was a huge blessing and a great success. It was only a day long with the theme was Rompiendo Cadenas (Breaking Chains). We had six classes to choose from, each having their own topic related to the theme. There were about 140 or so youth that attended. Each was given their own bag, t-shirt, and pen all sporting the theme of the day. Most of the León youth were assigned to some job for the day, whether it was taking out the trash, clean up, making sure there was enough seats in each class, that everyone was able to find their class, registering, teaching, or food. The day went smoothly, easy transitions between classes, and towards the end we played a huge Bible jeopardy type game between congregations and then we had our last meal of the day and a final lesson. Afterwards, we cleaned up and took some of the youth that were able to go to downtown León to hang out and eat. It was nice night and we capped it off with singing in front of a very nice square in front of a very nice cathedral. God is good and works in some wonderful ways to bring His people together to praise Him and get to know each other. Because, we are part of The Body. That's what I see in the Heart of the Lion.
