Time for intermission

We’ve had some of the busiest weeks yet. Since we last wrote, we’ve had 5 retreats per week. The retreats in general have been great. What we generally found was that these youth are very hungry for the message that we bring them. However, some retreat groups tend to be more challenging than others, especially when it's an energetic group. But of course, there are times when we’ve seen pleasant surprises.

Quite a few times, during or after having listened to the talk, watched a drama, and heard a sharing, one of the lads asked his friends to be quiet: “Come on man, be serious. Let’s be respectful.” It just goes to show how they are very open to personal experiences of the faith – the youth wants to hear what Jesus has to offer. They are interested, it’s just that no one has ever shared their personal experiences with them - especially in a fun an engaging way.

We’ve been warned as the road team that it will be hard to not see the fruits, and that we will mostly be planting seeds. We must pray and trust that God will work in His time. We ask your prayers for all our retreatants: that they may be open to the message that Jesus has for them. We also ask that you pray for us, so that we have the strength to spread His word, especially during the times when we do not see fruits from our labour, realizing that God has His own time.

We are off retreats this week though since the schools are on mid-term break. Expect some videos of our adventures from this week, as well as updates on pictures!

God bless,
Road Team Jesus
