This last weekend I led a youth retreat with the youth from Santa Maria (that I lead on Sunday mornings in Franklin Park) and from Iglesia. The Spirit’s presence was powerfully at work softening the hearts of the youth and the Lord answered many prayers for our time together. Thank you all of you who were praying! The main scripture for the weekend was Psalm 95 with an emphasis on invitation (“come”) and on the one who is giving the invitation, the Good Shepherd.
For many of these youth, this was their first time away from home for a night and for most the first time at a retreat. There were a lot of nervous parents and students Friday night as we left, but this soon melted in the excitement of a weekend away. Most of these students are still considering whether to fully commit to following Jesus as this is a very new concept for them.
God is raising up the second generation of Hispanics in Chicagoland and it is exciting to see! Praise the Lord!
